“That Might Rub Dana the Wrong Way”: Brock Lesnar, Who Thinks UFC Underpaid Him, Once Schooled Dana White Over His Uncalled Jab at WWE

Pro wrestling is a sport where the results are already largely decided. This leads some people to think that it is fake, but even if one sees only one match, it is enough to understand it clearly isn’t. Brock Lesnar is one of the most realistic wrestlers in WWE. His moves seem like a bulldozer hitting an actual human being. It is the culmination of nightmares for any wrestler on any roster.

This is one thing that wrestlers absolutely despise – someone calling wrestling fake. This implies that the work that they do in the ring and outside is nothing but fancy gymnastics. Many wrestlers have suffered life-altering injuries. Brock Lesnar has been quite vocal on this issue.

Brock Lesnar talks about how WWE and UFC are the same business model

When in a tweet, Dana White said WWE is fake, his former fighter Brock Lesnar had some choice words. He said in an interview with ESPN’s SportsCenter, “Of course, Dana, it’s fake. Everybody knows that, but it’s still the same. You’re promoting the same thing we’re promoting. Dana White is promoting fights, we’re promoting fights. It just so happens that we get a little more longevity out of our fight and out of our fighters because of the circumstances.”

“Dana, probably in his defense, is promoting fighting, but it’s the same thing. He’s trying to sell pay-per-views. He’s trying to sell money fights. It’s the same racket. The business model is the same; it’s identical. I think Vince McMahon’s better at it than Dana, and that might rub Dana the wrong way. Vince is the pioneer of it. He’s been doing this his whole life, and he’s damned good at it.”

While we could take what Lesnar talks about here as the Beast being dismissive of White because of his comments, there is truth in his claim about McMahon’s business tactics being superior. The former Chairman and CEO of WWE took the brand of pro wrestling and WWE to new heights. When talking about Lesnar individually, McMahon has also done a tremendous job. In addition to that, Lesnar has stated that White paid him unjustly for his work in the UFC and his star power contribution to the matches.
