Mark Madden Talks to Jim Ross: Madden Says WWE Under-Appreciates Daniel Bryan, Reveals WWE Won’t Pay Brock Lesnar Enough Money

Mark MaddenWZ editorialist Mark Madden was the guest on this week’s edition of the Ross Report podcast, and the following are some interview highlights. You can check out the interview in full at this link.

Madden reveals Brock Lesnar is willing to work more dates for WWE, but the company is unwilling to pay Lesnar more than his “limited appearance” deal:

“One thing I would do if I were WWE is…I don’t know what it would take to keep Brock but i’d pay him. I know for a fact that Brock would be working more now if they just pay him his ‘per date.’ They’ve been hesitant to do that. He’s told them that he would be available for more work if they just paid him the same per date. They need to do that because I think what the Royal Rumble showed is he is by far their most over performer….maybe right there with Daniel Bryan.”

Madden also says it’s very clear that WWE management under-appreciates Daniel Bryan:

“I look at Daniel Bryan and I look at the way he was treated at the Rumble (on Sunday) and really barely being in there, and no matter how many times the fans cheer him and chant ‘YES’…they (WWE) don’t believe in him. That’s obvious and i’ve heard that from the inside as well. WWE management doesn’t believe in him and they’ve convinced themselves that Bryan isn’t what’s over..that the ‘YES’ chant is what’s over and that’s obviously insane.”

Other topics discussed include Sunday’s Royal Rumble, Roman Reigns, TNA , New Japan, ROH, Lucha Underground, CM Punk in UFC, Super Bowl predictions, and much more.
