Brock Lesnar: Why Bringing Back Lesnar Would Blow Up in WWE's Face

Brock Lesnar has been on the WWE radar since he announced his retirement from UFC last December. That might have seemed like a good idea at some point, but now it is one that is going to end badly for all parties involved. 

According to Dave Meltzer of WrestlingObserver.com, Lesnar arrived in Miami over the weekend. There was talk that a deal had been reached between the former UFC champion and the WWE, though nothing has been officially confirmed yet.

Brock Lesnar has arrived in Miami and arrived with security and a large group of people shielding him from everyone.

This is the going story, but not confirmed, that Lesnar has signed a one year deal and will work a more than Undertaker and less than Goldberg type of schedule.

"

On the surface, this would appear to be a good deal. Lesnar was the biggest drawing card in UFC, he made his name working in WWE and there would certainly be a short spike in attendance and pay-per-view numbers when he does show up. 

Taking a microscope to the situation, you begin to realize just how quickly the bloom could, and likely will, come off the rose with Lesnar doing anything. 

Lesnar is only going to dedicate himself fully to something when he is motivated. When he first made the main roster in WWE, he was one of the best big men in the history and promised a huge push that led to him giving everything he had. 

Over time, he lost interest in the business, and his effort in the ring started to suffer. He walked away after one of the most infamous matches in WWE history against Goldberg at WrestleMania 20. 

When Lesnar went to UFC, he was motivated to prove he was for real and not just a sideshow attraction. He beat Randy Couture, Frank Mir and Shane Carwin when he still had something to prove.  But in his return match against Alistair Overeem last December, with a shot at the UFC heavyweight title on the line, Lesnar looked like he would rather have been doing anything else. 

Lesnar has plenty of money stashed away in the bank, and he will get more the second he signs a WWE contract. The incentive for him to be great won't be there, and his overall effort will leave a lot to be desired. 

WWE is trying to bring Lesnar in to offset the losses of The Rock, Triple H and Undertaker with WrestleMania over. His first match, whenever that is, will likely do good business. But after that, all bets are off. 

Lesnar can't fake his way through wrestling. The audience can sense when that is happening, and they will turn on you at the drop of a hat.
