10 Wrestlers That Visibly Hated Working For WWE

There's a lot to like about the manner Brock Lesnar handles his business.

Vince McMahon/WWE acolytes may sometimes classify 'The Beast' as little more than a mercenary, but in this generation in particular he's one of the few to understand the innate value of being exactly that. Not only has he taken massive piles of cash for (relatively) minimal physical outlay over the last decade, but he's increased his appeal to keep doing it thanks to never getting over-exposed.

His frustrated lobbing of the Universal Championship belt into the boss' lap after the disastrous WrestleMania 34 main event against Roman Reigns juxtaposes these two sides. Simultaneously livid about some rotten creative but only too happy to get the f*ck out of there with or without his prop, McMahon's respect for Lesnar like shot up after the act.

The whole thing had been a piece of sh*t, and one of the only guys still carrying himself like a star was bold enough to tell him so with a very public gesture of contempt.
