UFC Legend Praises Former WWE CEO For Not Letting Brock Lesnar Speak On Live TV: “Vince McMahon Had Him Believe Monsters Don’t Speak”

There is no one in WWE that has more power to sell tickets than the Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar. His popularity and fame far exceed even the current WWE Universal Champion, Roman Reigns. While many WWE superstars, new and old, love the attention and the fame, Lesnar is not the same as the common herd. The Beast Incarnate is a different ‘beast’ entirely.

The way things work for him is pretty simple. He shows up, he destroys, he conquers, and he leaves. Even during the period when he defeated the Undertaker at WrestleMania and conquered the streak, he had these same statements on his t-shirt. While, like any other person, he likes the attention; he doesn’t like his privacy to be stolen by reporters and such. But what happened to The Beast to make him like this?

While talking about Brock Lesnar’s debut run in WWE, former UFC fighter Chael Sonnen said, “As far as attractions go, he really is a once-in-a-lifetime. If you’re ever in the presence of Brock Lesnar, you feel something. There’s an aura there and I think that was very carefully crafted by Vince McMahon.”

“One of the reasons why Brock has never spoken a whole lot, the reason he doesn’t come out to do interviews, the reason he has the advocate Paul is because Vince McMahon has him believed that monsters don’t speak. I really think that in a rare case of marketing, less has always been more in the case of Lesnar.”

Which Brock Lesnar is better?

While Sonnen might have been right for the few developing years of Brock Lesnar, he couldn’t predict the future. Finally, after years and years of showing himself as a Beast and Monster, Lesnar stripped everything down and became the cowboy he actually is in real life.

The Cowboy persona with his cowboy hat and flannel shirt and jeans resonated greatly with the crowd.

While it might have cemented Lesnar’s legacy in the early days, this recent change brought people to his side. It was a face Lesnar had as profitable and marketable as the hellish monster he portrayed for over a decade and a half. Comment below if you think Lesnar should’ve stayed the way he was or if the current version is the better.
