Brock Lesnar a sellout: yes or no

I know there was alot of topics about this, but I just want to know everyone's opinion. I'll give my two cents.

I can see how people would say yes. Wrestlers such as Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho, Rey Mysterio, etc. have been wrestling for years and years, and no matter where they went, they usually put on the best matches on the whole card. From Japan, to Mexico, ECW, WCW, WWE, and every where else, these people showed a true love for the business, and never half assed it in the ring.

Despite their hard work though, until recently, none of these guys would be rewarded with the big one, even though they are more than worthy of representing the belt. After all these years of working so hard with no recognition, it must have made them all a little secretly mad that Brock just walked in and got a huge superstar push, while they languished in mid card hell. Then after only two years, he decides that he's had enough and just up and leaves. Brock got to main event WrestleMania and win the WWE Title, tear through everybody on the roster, and just have a great run. The other guys in the back would have killed for that opportunity, and here Brock just walks away from it. So from the perspective of a wrestler, a fan , or most in WWE period, I could see why they think he "sold out" the business, being in it just for the money.

But, I try to look at it logically. He was freshly graduated out of college, and didn't know what he wanted to do with his life. He got many offers from the NFL, but I'm sure that none of them were as lucrative as what he was getting paid in the WWE. He was young, and had a buncha money shoved in his face by Vince , most people would have done the same thing. You can say what you want, but when someone offers you that kind of money, you usually don't turn it down. So he got into wrestling, and regardless of what alot of people say, I think he was a great worker. (Lesnar-Goldberg sucked, but that's to be expected). Not necessarily a technical genius like Angle or Benoit, but then again, with his size, he doesn't need to be. He proved that he could wrestle when he needed to, and I think he was only get ting better. He probably had no idea what he was getting himself into, with the schedule and all. It's a lot of pressure, to be given the push he got, and I think he did the best he could with it. Like alot of people say, yeah, he probably did get in it for the money, but he worked hard, and I think it's better if he gets out now, than if he stays around and becomes another lazy, unmotivated champion (HHH). If anybody should be blamed, it should be Vince. Brock's passion to the business hadn't been questioned or tested in the slightest, yet he was still given the push. Vince should have let Lesnar live the life style for a little while before pushing him to the top maybe, maybe not, that's another topic.

So, I don't really got anything against Lesnar. He didn't do anything that lots of other people wouldn't have. The finger should have been pointed at the WWE for not noticing that he wasn't ready.
