As reported, Brock Lesnar dropped his agent Barry Bloom. Apparently, a lot of pressure from management figures in the WWF convinced Lesnar to get rid of his agent as the WWF does not like dealing with agents when negotiating with talent as it slows up the process without serving much of a purpose.
Brock originally signed Bloom as his agent due to a recommendation from Governor Jesse Ventura, who has used Barry Bloom as his agent many years ago.
Of course, Jim Ross is one of many outspoken critics of wrestlers using agents. His standard argument is simple in that he finds them unnecessary and complains that they slow the negotiation process.
Under normal circumstances Wrestling agents, like other sports agents, with knowledge of other wrestlers' salaries and popularity can demand a greater salary for his guy. However, without any major competition to the WWF they are able to deter wrestlers from using agents. The problem of agents and unions has been a sticking point in wrestling for years. For a long time now the professional wrestlers have tried to band together or retain agents to better themselves on the contract and benefit front. To no avail.
As far as Barry Bloom himself is concerned, he still represents such WWF talent as Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, X-Pac, Triple H, and Chris Jericho as agent, plus, Goldberg and Ken Shamrock outside of the WWF as two of the more recognized names.
