Brock Lesnar: “The Only Thing I’m Proud of Is The Money in My Bank Account”

There is a strange disconnect between Brock Lesnar and many people in this industry. A lot of people in this industry just do it for money. The Beast Incarnate is one of those guys who looks at pro wrestling like a job. The other look at this job with great pleasure and love it in their bone marrow because it helped shape them.

To promote Wrestlemania, Lesnar recently did an interview with the Associated Press and made his philosophy about his “job” very clear. You can read the full interview right here. Below are the highlights:

Is Lesnar reaching his per appearance limit?

“Vince got his checkbook out and he’s writing more checks. “But I have a limit and we’re at that limit right now.”

Why doesn’t he want to get caught up in the business of wrestling? 

“This is a job and I’m not caught up into it like maybe I’m supposed to be,” he said. “I approach this as, I’m a skilled worker. I clock in, I clock out. People pay to watch me and, by chance, I guess they find me entertaining. … When I look back and what I’m proud of is the money in my bank account.”

There could be five people in the stands or 100,000 people, I don’t treat it any differently,” Lesnar said. “I approach the competition the same. That’s just my mentality. I don’t get caught up in the business. I show up, I do my job, I collect my check and I go home.”

Do you appreciate Lesnar’s philosophy about the wrestling business?
