#5 Brock Lesnar reveals Vince McMahon's reaction to him leaving WWE

"I was almost bankrupt in my first run. I just signed a big deal with Vince (McMahon) - a big deal, back then 20 years ago - lot of guaranteed money. And six months later I'm like, 'Go sc**w yourself, Vince'. He was a little chapped. I get it now. [He] Made an investment here," said the ex-Universal Champion,'' said Lesnar
The former Universal Champion returned to WWE in 2012 and has been with the company ever since.
