8 Things We Learned From WWE 24: New Orleans

2. Brock Was Furious With Vince... Maybe

Shortly after his brutal and bewildering successful Universal Championship defence opposite Roman Reigns (the apathetic context of the match itself was, of course, completely stripped in the edit), we see a seemingly-seething Brock Lesnar, redder than an embarrassed tomato, storm his way through Gorilla.

As he trudges past Vince McMahon, he violently hoys the 10lbs of jam in his boss' direction, causing much commotion on the production desk.

Enraged, Vince bellows back at him: "A**hole!"

Presumably, we're to believe Brock was furious about... being offered a mega new short-term contract which stipulated his unexpected victory over Roman? Or, what, was it just a demonstration of his supposed 'disdain' for the business? Is that really the message the company wants to keep pushing, given the way it totally sunk the audience for his New Orleans outing?

There's always the chance this was a legitimate, unscripted moment. But come on.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
