I thought this was interesting in retrospect, looking at Lesnar's career juxtaposed to his time in the WWE. When he left, we were all pretty pissy, called him stupid, selfish, etc... etc... But really, he had pretty legitimate reasons.

Of course, based off this interview, we can also tell that Brock Lesnar:
- Is still a cocky guy full of confidence in his own strength and athleticism
- Is still a little immature, based on how he totally walked out of the interview when the steroids topic was... not even directly brought up, but suggested
- Had legit reasons for leaving the WWE
- Is being pushed in UFC for the same reason he was pushed in the WWE: recognition and buzz

It's also funny to see Goldberg pop up, and also Bret Hart give a few words. He's aged to the point where I think he resembles Shawn Michaels a lot. You could pass both on the street and not realize they weren't the same person until you gave a second look.

But yeah, looking back at Lesnar now versus how the reaction was when he left the WWE, how do you feel about the whole thing, and has your opinion changed?
