It is not just a passing rumor though, his tough enough stints have repeatedly shown his tendency to no sell, sand bag and work stiffer toward rookies. As for sandbagging on Lesnar, its visible, if he had just sat up he would not have been dropped on his head.
If someone is potholing to something you do not like or being too judgmental about the incident I could see removing that but the event is on camera.

I was gonna remove it outright but I'm not sure how these things work around here; fact is, the whole Brock Lesnar sandbag thing is entirely too biased, especially in how it seems to imply it's the absolute truth. From what I can tell after years of various conflicting accounts of events, we don't know shit basically. All we've got to go on are rumors, accounts from more-or-less certainly biased "business sources", and the (very questionable) sanctimonious judgment of smart marks and/or fanboys.
I know things are a lot more lax regarding these things than The Other Wiki, but that doesn't mean one should resort passing "wiki judgment" on things we don't really know any hard facts about. That just makes it less valuable as a source of information. A lack of formality shouldn't suggest that any passing rumor should stick. There's a largely believable precedent for Holly being a tough customer, sure, but there's also a more factually based precedent for fanboys buying into Lesnar's perceived toughness due to MMA or whatever.
(And yes, that last line implies you may actually be not as smart of a mark as you believe.)
To put it bluntly; I see no empirical reason as to why it should be kept; certainly, it belongs on the YMMV page if anything.
