6. Jim Ross Addresses Dean Ambrose’s Claim of Brock Lesnar Being Lazy
During the latest edition of the Stone Cold podcast on the WWE Network, WWE Champion Dean Ambrose claimed that Brock Lesnar was lazy during their WrestleMania 32 match.
Below is what WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross wrote about this on his website:
“Interesting comments made this week by Dean Ambrose and by Daniel Bryan regarding Brock Lesnar being “lazy.” If true, and I’m not saying that it is as I’m not around Lesnar whatsoever, could it be because Brock is residing the dreaded “comfort zone” which is an area that adversely affects professional careers in many fields and certainly negatively affects relationships of all kinds? The next time Lesnar and Ambrose are booked together should be most interesting.”

Below is what UFC Heavyweight Fighter Mark “Super Samoan” Hunt, who fought Brock Lesnar at UFC 200, posted on his Facebook page:
A fan asked me this question:
“If he bet money on me and lost his bet does he get a refund since Brock Lesnar tested positive for steroids and is the actual loser?”
Does anyone have an answer? It’s a pretty legit question. Can the people who lost their money sue the steroid using gimp for fraud does anyone know?
For those who don’t know, Brock Lesnar failed both the out-of-competition & in-competition drug tests for this UFC 200 fight.
