I get that the "spectacle" of Lesnar still exists for some people, but for me, its long gone. I hope he continues to do mma because that's where he belongs. Because he's passionate about it. He WANTS to be there.

AJ's great, so that doesn't hurt, but Brock has done great work with lots of people. It's not just people selling for him; it's how he sells for other people (when it's time). And it's how much he can get out of so little.
I agree that the spectacle has been tarnished, but I don't put that on Brock. I put that on Vince not being able to create a conquering babyface people actually like, and him not having the believable guys -- or not going with the believable guys -- in order for Brock to make them look like the dragon slayer.
That's why I hope Brock leaves. Because he can have that spectacle, and he does carry that credibility. And if he went somewhere that actually had babyfaces that people liked -- holy shit. The dude's a perfect successor to big bad-ass gaijin like Vader and Hansen, except Brock probably carries more stateside commercial weight.
