Genuine emotion came out there.

And credit to them for keeping this a secret the entire time.

I thought I was going to get swerved.

Ouch.

Because there's a wrestler whose whole gimmick it is to end people's careers, and with SummerSlam being in Brock Lesnar's hometown of Minneapolis, people assumed that was going to be the plan.

He throws up the X, and you see genuine emotion from Brock Lesnar.

He's not an actor like that, and he never has shown this type of emotion.

I'm kind of bummed that...

First off, Brock, there's a lot that's said about Brock and some stuff, especially attached to Janelle Grant, that is certainly fair.

But in terms of in that industry, being an attraction, he's a spectacle.

I mean, he's still terrifying.

Dan, if the aliens come, we're sending Brock Lesnar.

It doesn't seem like Ariel Helwani does either in that way.

It was booked like a concession that they had heard the feedback.

Yeah, it seemed like an Ari call, and the way that it was booked was basically open disdain for the entire storyline.

The wrestlers attached to it, it wasn't a work.

They were pretty honest that this match in particular, with 20 years of history, did not need Pat McAfee's involvement.

Wrestling fans kind of really rebelled against it.

Pat McAfee and Jelly Roll cannot be the crux of the main event at WrestleMania.

So, Dan, they basically have Jelly Roll and Pat do their thing before the bell rings.
