8 Things To Expect Now Brock Lesnar Has Re-Signed With WWE
8. Continuing On A Part-Time Schedule
Those of us hoping that the new contract would mean that Brock Lesnar would be appearing on our TV screens via WWE programming much more often than the past deal, that appears to be a pipe dream. In the ESPN interview Lesnar made it very clear that he enjoys working a part-time schedule for full-time pay something that everyone wishes they could do but cant. It's been reported that Brock received an increase in wages, and considering WWE's profits are down and the pay-per-view portion of their business has been cannibalized in favor of the Network, we can at least hope that the amount of dates he's required to work have increased somewhat. Ideally we'd at least get Brock wrestling on the big four shows (Royal Rumble, Mania, SummerSlam and Survivor Series) and at least 2 more thrown in there - can you imagine Lesnar in a Money In The Bank Match - plus some additional appearances on regular TV. Just don't expect to see him on Raw much more frequently than you do now. It's clear WWE is intent on keeping him as a special attraction and even more clear the champ has no interest in anything other than that.
