If I was Vince I would've told Lesnar if he was gonna sign a one year, 5 million dollar contract with me, that he would be working the entire year for me full time. If Brock didn't like it, then he can say goodbye to that 5 million bucks. There's no way i'm paying someone that much and only using him for 30 apperances. I know Triple H didn't negociate this contract, i'm sure it was Vince or John Lauranitis who did it because the whole deal just reeks of someone who is out of touch and has no clue what they're doing anymore.

I doubt even Triple H, HBK or Taker ever made that much for any contract they signed. Once you factor in merch sales, i'm sure they came close to clearing that in a year sometimes. But as the base salary? I doubt it. The only guys who've probably ever made that much in a year for the WWE are Hogan, Austin, Rock and Cena.

The way he left in 2004 he has no right to make any demands.

Unfortunate by becoming a part of the UFC when it was becoming popular more or less made him a celebrity. WWE needs him way more than he needs them.

Um no, the WWE doesn't need Lesnar at all. They're making it just fine without him. Nothing Lesnar did with his comeback was that important. This contract was one of the biggest wastes of money ever by Vince.

Yes. And she is hot, though I value her more for her actual talent.

And I disagree Sanitarium, it's been dry county for WWE ever since CM Punk lost to HHH. And Lesnar wouldn't have been a waste of money if he actually beat John Cena.

I am really surprised and happy that Daniel Bryan has done as well as he has. It gives me hope for the future.

After his run with Kane is over he should be in the world title picture again and win it at some point next year. I think he's the most over face on the roster right now. Cena seems to be getting more and more boos lately, Sheamus gets a solid reaction but it's nothing special. Orton gets a good one but his boring ass is out injured again. Once Bryan's music hits the whole crowd erupts into the "YES!!! YES!!! YES!!!" chant. In all my years a watching I don't recall seeing anything like that before.

Bryan has a unique character right now because it fits in well with the WWE family friendly PG era, it has appeal to both adults and kids at the same time. Which is something John Cena has failed miserably with the last four or five years. I think it might be time to see if Daniel Bryan can be the next face of the company. Of course he might have to shave that awesome beard though. He's four years younger than Cena so he can fill the role for the next few years until the next guy is ready to take over.

Weither you like him or not, Cena's time is up. And that's what comes with carrying the company for so long. He doesn't let it on but I bet his body is a complete wreck after going steady for almost ten years. I bet he's exempt from the Wellness Policy as well.

They have to get on finding a new face SOON. Because if he keeps going at the rate he is now he will just crash hard one day and they'll be fucked. But the problem is that they've waited so long and depended on him for so long while they should have spent the last three years building someone. Now they just throw people like Ryback at the crowd, expect the crowd to love them and it doesn't work out long-term.
