For those who question Brock Lesnar's drawing power and WWE's perception of him, the numbers don't lie. Tom Colohue was discussing WWE moving to the Amway Center for ThunderDome. While it's known that the cost of renting the venue for two months was $450,000, Colohue put it into perspective, revealing how much money WWE makes off Brock Lesnar alone on YouTube:

Yes, it's quite a larger amount of money, but for the WWE, it is quite a small amount of money. And to be fair, $500,000 is what they made from Brock Lesnar on YouTube alone, for example.

We hope this is true because it's good to see that WWE gets back an incredible amount that they invest in Brock Lesnar. He's the highest-paid Superstar on the WWE roster and for a good reason. In all likeliness, they make up a large chunk of what they pay him from merchandise sales alone. That aside, one can't deny the drawing power he brings to programming.
