I doubt McMahon is kicking himself...WWE needs a constant script. The big names really have to come and go so to speak. Just like a TV series or Movie series.
I was a little bitter about Brock getting a title shot, as he is a lot of hype. But he did prove that he is someone to reckon with as an MMA fighter. He has ok MMA skills, but his size and athleticism allow him to be a true monster in the cage. Still, there is room to grow as a fighter and I think when people continue to see him evolve and conquer each opponent he faces, they will give him the respect like other MMA stars.
Brock has done his time in building a name for himself through his endeavors. Can't hate him for that. Unlike Kimbo, there is reason for some of the hype. Brock also knows what it's like to have thousands of fan's in an arena screaming or booing. Performing under pressure is a HUGE skill that can't be taught.
Bottom line..... Brock makes for interesting match-ups and entertaining fights.
Like Kimbo...the quicker you are brought to stardom, the easier it is for you to fall. So far Brock has performed enough to avoid the fall.
Randy really never took time off. Don't let that one punch overshadow Randy's performance. He did amazingly well against Lesnar. People forget this. I still think Randy has several big fights left in him.
