Lesnar theory
By Scott Keith on 6 March 2015
Scott,
I know you're sick of Lesnar/Reigns questions; but isn't this "Lesnar walks out on the WWE right before WrestleMania" story a little too hard to believe. I mean this literally sounds like a copycat angle from over a decade ago. Could it all be a work to pump up Reigns as a sympathetic face conquering this arrogant jerk who wants to walk out on the company? The WrestleMania crowds are usually mark-ish and there's no way Lesnar get booed unless its a Goldberg scenario where the crowd knows he's leaving. Better yet, what does Vince do when the crowd KNOWS Brock is leaving, and they STILL cheer him and boo Reigns?
I'm amused how people now even preface questions with "I know you're sick of this question…" and then ask it anyway.
If it was a work, what possible motivation would Dana White have for going along with it? And why would they suddenly have an idea for getting Reigns over as a babyface now after months of failing to do so? And why make your big hail mary attempt at getting him over an angle where literally only 1% or less of the audience is even going to understand?
