In this interview Brock Lesnar talks about how WWE has changed since his debut: “I was a shooter, an amateur guy. I had a lot of credentials to my name. Of course, I got tested along the way by the old timers. You have to pay your dues. Back then, you paid your dues, and you had to get your respect. It’s different now, obviously. Things have gotten a lot softer. There isn’t no more kangaroo courts. It’s different now, but I go there, I’m the old guy now.”

The wrestler f/k/a Braun Strowman (Adam Scherr) likes no longer having his hands tied by WWE creative: “For me, the big eye-opening thing was not having my hands tied.

I mean, no offense, I hated it, but I had to go in there and make the best of it because that was my job. Well, now with this opportunity.… my creative input is welcomed, it’s not dismissed.
