Lesnar is nowhere near being one of the hardest men in the world. That's plain stupidity to even say so. I also disagree to an extent that he could f**k anyone in the dressing room with ease. I'm sure in an interview, Lesnar admitted that Kane was one of the strongest people he'd ever met or something along those lines. You're right though, WWE isn't loaded with 'hard' people these days, but irregardless of that, my point was why is Lesnar saying it? What purpose does it serve? To be a c**t.
Austin would have taken the loss, but was it not originally planned as a squash? Totally agree that Austin's reaction was out of order (Stone Cold says it's the biggest regret of his career).
You make a good point here, but then if this was the case it would mean McMahon is acknowledging TNA as a force? Be interesting to see TNA's response.
