Ok, lets clear this up about Brock.

The guy paid dues by spending years in OVW (WWE's developmental). He was a guy who got over huge with the fans and was very capable in the ring to justify having a main event spot. He never got anything too quick at all. Its called smart business. If you are getting the biggest pop of anyone on the show, Vince is going to put you at the top, period. Thats why you have guys like Cena, and Batista who both had World Titles around their waist yet were incompitent in the ring, but it didn't matter. Then take Brock who knew what to do and when to do it from the time he made his debut and could have a great match with any of the top guys at that time. Ask yourself this, did he have a bad match with The Rock at SummerSlam for the WWE Title just 5 months after his debut? No. It was an awesome match and the crowd exploded for him when he won.

No one can deny that he could perform well in the ring, was over with the fans, and was a believable champion.

Its not that Brock didn't have passion for professional wrestling, he had tons. He just didn't like being on the road 5 and 6 days a week, 52 weeks a year. If the schedule was lighter and he could have time to himself, he would still be in WWE today. But he couldn't see an end in sight with the constant, heavy travel all over the world, so thats why he left.

And on the subject of people getting too much too quick, no one mentions a thing about Kurt Angle and him getting the WWE Title less than a year after his debut. I thought Angle deserved it when he got it and is an awesome wrestler. But when he got the belt for the first time, The Rock, Stone Cold, Triple H, Undrtaker, and others were there in full force on the card. When Brock got it for the first time, Rock left for 6 months, and Austin had quit 2 months earlier, but people bitch about Brock getting the fame too quick. Its a pisser. Brock is the man.
