20 WWE And UFC Controversies Created By Brock Lesnar

14. Refusing To Work House Shows

It's pretty well known that Brock Lesnar doesn't like the WWE schedule - in fact, it's a big part of why he left the WWE after his first run with the company. The travel schedule is brutal. It's not a lifestyle you want to be part of if you're a family man, and Brock Lesnar is a guy who is big on family. Since coming back to the WWE, Lesnar, on a part time contract, doesn't work house shows. And that hasn't always sat well with other workers, who feel they bust their butts day in and day out for less money and acclaim. Fans who go to live events miss out on seeing Lesnar and aren't happy either. You can't exactly fault the man for getting the best deal he possibly could, but it's still been a pretty controversial and contentious situation when it comes to house shows.
