10 Wrestlers Who Mock You For Taking It Seriously

Brock Lesnar isn't exactly renowned for his cheerful view of the fans. There are plenty of stories about The Beast Incarnate and his disdain for the paying public, but the fact that he purchased his own plane to take him to and from events is probably the best example. Lesnar famously told WWE's former head of security that he would punch him in the face if one fan came up and asked for Brock's autograph. That is not the behaviour of a man who cares for the fans.

Why should he give a sh*t what the fans think? Yes, professional wrestling is built on a connection between performer and audience member but these days are different. The curtain is no longer the be-all and end-all. We know that these men and women are performers, and people seem willing to pay money to watch the shows no matter what is going on.

Brock Lesnar is one of the greatest combat athletes of modern history, an imposing beast of a man who wants to make his money and live in seclusion with his hot wife and offspring. The opinion of the fans matters not a jot.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
