Everybody calls this guy an asswipe but I have no idea why. Can anyone explain?

He had no respect for the business and put on a terrible match at Wrestlemania because he simply didn't care.
Or so they say.

I hate what he did, leaving after getting such a huge push, but I still marked for the guy's tenure in WWE.

Not to mention demanding his own private jet, a reduced schedule (comparable to Taker's), and a ridiculous contract for the wrinkled handbag he was f***ing at the time (see Mero, Rena).

When it was his turn to start looking up at the lights both in WWE and NJPW, he bailed out on both, but at least in WWE, he was enough of a pro to help Eddie look like a million bucks and drop the WWE title over to him; New Japan didn't even get that much out of him.

Lesnar is a douchebag who got a bigger push then Kurt, Bret and Rock combined and didn't appreciate any of it
Expect him to be back by Wrestlemania 25

Lesnar comes off as an asshole in real life, but the same has been said about Triple H and Flair. But sence they put countless years into the business they are forgiven. Where Lesnar seriously took his (foot)ball and went home. With that said. I'm still am a huge Lesnar mark, and wait for his return years from now, so he can put no talent hacks like Batista and Lashley in their place. But anyways, I think it was the super push and crybaby attiude, that makes him so hated.

For all the reasons listed above. Plus, I wasn't a fan of his in the first place. Another three move, grimacing hoss with no charisma and horrible mic skills.......................but he's BIG!

I know Lesnar was a great talent
But I just couldn't stand him because of his super push.

He was also enough of a pro to do a match at Wrestlemania 20 that consisted entirely of lock-ups, tests of strength and finishers? A match at the Biggest Wrestlemania Ever that had the crowd paying more attention to Godz than they did to Lesner and Goldberg? I look at Lesner as a guy who was spotted in the gym, had some agents come over to him and say 'guess what, you're now a wrestler'. He liked the money and the fame, and he always put decent to great matches on, but he didn't like the actual day-to-day business of wrestling, which is travelling on cramped airplanes and cars, living in hotels and being away from home for most of the year. I liked Brock Lesner as a wrestler, because he was tremendously powerful and very fun to watch, but by most accounts he just wasn't in the right mindset. Which is too bad, because attitude problems or not, I'd take him back in a heartbeat today if the chance came up.

But on the positive side, at least he got rid of the human pogo stick Zach Gowen....

I won't lie, I really miss the guy in the ring. He was an awesome big man, and had some of my favorite matches with Kurt Angle and Undertaker.

I'm a big time Lesnar mark, and believe that he may be one of the best big men the wrestling industry has ever seen. He had uncanny strength, speed, a deep moveset. Lashley and Batista, despite their size, just don't seem to have the natural power of Brock Lesnar.
I know that he had a problem with the wrestling schedule and the travel issue, but I honestly believe that he really got too much too soon, which helped kill some of the hunger and desire he may have had to wrestle. Also, I believe the botched Shooting Star Press during Wrestlemania abruptly introduced Brock to his own mortality, and that really scared him.

One of my favorite Smackdown moments ever was Lesnar's absolute DESTRUCTION of Hulk Hogan.
What makes it all the more amusing are the reports that came out later that Hogan wanted to return at Survivor Series and end Brock's streak and win the title. And Vince reportedly being like "....are you insane?". I don't know that I believe that or not, but it's a good laugh.
