A lot of wrestlers were jealous of Lesnars quick accession in the company. Hennig did not like Lesnar and talked shit about his amateur wrestling accolades, which to me is fucking stupid, he only wrestled at D1 for 2 years and finished 2nd one year and won the national championship the next year.

TBH I kinda being upset that you're busting your ass for years working for WWE travelling and doing multiple shows a week in different cities and missing time with your family. Then a kid comes out of nowhere and is given ALL the spotlight over the people who've been busting their asses for years. Same reason people were upset over Taker giving up the streak to a part-timer in Lesnar instead of using it to build up a younger star who could have used that build-up more.

Lesnar's performance ability IS another level than some mid-tier wrestler. (even moreso back then) But still....I get the resentment.
