Shane Carwin was also sick, too much of a man to pull out of fight

    Terms are different for him though. If he pulls out of the fight, Cain moves right in and gets the title shot. If Carwin was champ, he wouldn't have to worry about losing his belt if he pulled out.

    Absolutely true.

    I just think it's fascinating that someone who says he isn't a shit-talker just won't keep Brock's name out of his mouth these past weeks.

    Yeah, I've been disappointed with Carwin lately. He seems to let Brock's ego, attitude, and WWE-style showmanship get to him easily. The closer the fight was getting, the more I felt Brock would dismantle him. I'd like Carwin to be the bigger man hear and shut his mouth up already.

    I think it's the case that some people need to talk themselves up. Shows a bit of anxiety on his part I reckon.

    As for Lesnar downplaying Carwin's opponents and wrestling record--well, nobody doubts that Lesnar is a dick. He'll be the first one to admit it.

    Then again, Carwin could just be hyping up the fight. It's not really needed but it's still part of the fight game.
