When he did that I was thinking "Product placement" He effectively got us to pay attention to the sponsors, and I wouldn't be a bit surprised if that wasn't done with the sponsors prior involvement and stamp of approval. Remember, whomever the heel doesn't like becomes the babyface.
Everybody hates Brock, so therefore he shit talks the sponsors, they get a big mention AND they instantly become the "good guys"
By the way...I love pro wrestling, I did it for a long time and loved the art of working the crowd. I think Brock bringing that to the game is something that will pay off big money for UFC. It looks to me that he is combining his very real skills as a wrestler with the skills he learned in WWE of entertainment.
Nothing wrong with that. Ali did the same thing in boxing. I think it's gonna get a lot more eyes on UFC if they can promote him correctly.
In pro wrestling the biggest money is always the heel champ having the babyface chase him for the title. With Brock...damn near every challenger would be a good guy and have the people wanting to see him beat Brock's ass and take the title.
