Paul Heyman says Brock Lesnar's UFC 100 win does not make pro wrestling more legitimate

Paul Heyman told the UK Sun that Brock Lesnar's win over Frank Mir at UFC 100 does not legitimize pro wrestling. "Brock's victory in the Octagon is as much a vindication for pro wrestling or WWE as Jesse Ventura becoming governor of Minnesota is a sign that wrestlers should run for political office...

"I have nothing but the most extreme admiration for the sacrifices they make. But Brock just happens to be a UFC champion who was a pro wrestler, not a typical pro wrestler who decided to teach the MMA world how tough pro wrestlers are." To read the full story, visit the UK Sun.

Powell's POV: Fair points by Heyman. Was the comment regarding Ventura a dig at longtime Heyman adversary Jerry Lawler's run for mayor of Memphis?
