Brock Lesnar quits WWE after Mania!

Da Meltz is reporting it also. That many sites all coming to agreement on a story means it must be true.

Let me just say if this proves to be a false story that it will be part of my new mission in life to delete all threads that start from that site's rumors forevermore.

 

Just saying.

..And God bless you for that.

 

 

Fuck 1Bob. Even if a little under half of their shit is correct, the popups still piss me off to no end.

[Guest Choken One]

Well, TBS was Brock’s greatest rival in the ring and gave him his best storyline and it’s perfectly understandable that TBS would be a “mentor” to Lesnar.

Amazingly, TBS 4 years was hated backstage and now he’s the “MAN”.

"Thank you, Big Show, for breaking one of my ribs a week before Survivor Series '02 and forcing WWE to take the title off me and kill my undefeated streak to you. I'll never forget it, buddy."

Who cares if the rest of the guys were pissed over Lesnar having his own private jet?

 

Didn't Flair and the Horsemen fly private? Hell, Flair crashed on a private jet.

 

Didn't Hogan fly private? There has been others as well. If you can afford it why not?

[Art Sandusky 0]

Flair and the Horsemen were in the era of kayfabe, so that's understandable that they didn't want people to see the Horsemen travelling with faces.

 

Flair crashed on a charter prop plane, I think. It was just for that occasion also, where he was in one location and had to get to another quicker than a car could carry him.

 

Hogan is understandable for the kayfabe reason as well as the fact that he was bringing in arenafuls of money for the WWF.

Brock Lesnar quit the WWE last night at the TV tapings in Atlantic City. Lesnar, 26, will face Bill Goldberg at Wrestlemania in what will be his final match unless he changes his mind in the next few days. We'll have more on this later today.

Who cares if the rest of the guys were pissed over Lesnar having his own private jet?

 

It drives home the fact that he's NOT a team player.

 

Didn't Flair and the Horsemen fly private? Hell, Flair crashed on a private jet.

 

Flair and the Horsemen.....wouldn't that be 4...5.....possibly 6 people? In that case, the plane could be justified since it's being used for more than flying just 1 guy around the country.

 

Didn't Hogan fly private? There has been others as well. If you can afford it why not?

 

I surely hope you're not comparing Hulk Hogan to Brock Lesnar. The MOST POPULAR AND WELL-KNOWN PROFESSIONAL WRESTLER IN HISTORY.....with a two year rookie.

 

Brock should not have his own plane.

 

He does. He should not have the balls to then complain about his travel schedule when he has the luxurious benefits no one else has.

 

He is.

 

Good riddance.

[Guest thetrendsetter]

Flair and the boys in the territories used charter planes as well, because they usually did a 1PM Matinee, than a 7:30 Show the same day

[Guest glennsoe]

now would be a GOOD time to try to sign Goldberg to a long term contract and ship him over to Smackdown, as far away from HHH as posible !!

[humongous2002 0]

Well, three things could happen:

 

1- Extend the Eddie/Angle feud for the time being.

 

2- Ship RVD or Booker T to SD to level out possible feuds.

 

3- Hope Edge is ready to return ASAP for a new top level wrestler.

 

 

Option two doesn't really help. So RVD or Booker T go to SD. It'll still be quite awhile before they get to respectable main event status (at least in the eyes of the WWE) again, so I don't think that'll happen anytime soon. Unless the WWE are willing to have the patience to do so.

 

Option three only works if Edge doesn't return to RAW. I'm hoping to our Almighty Wrestling God that this doesn't happen, but most likely Edge is going to RAW still.

I understand if Book is not as over as he was, but Rob is so over that the fans chant his name and all he's gotta do is point himself with his thumbs, he hasn't had a real feud since 2002(Rob was only a guest star when Kane was using him as a rag doll last year for his feud against Shane), he's been treated poorly by WWE management and the fans still care about him, believe me with Heyman in charge of RVD's booking and he will be main event material in no time.

There's no other choice, Eddie,Angle and maybe Cena can't be carrying SD all by themselves, and definitely none of us want to see Holly,Albert or Bradshaw main eventing SD PPVS, Edge is still out with an injury, he might get the welcome back pops but he is still an upper midcarder and he's been out for a year, so in the fans eyes he still has to earn his spot as a top guy.Like i said WWE is against the wall so the only choice they have is to push a wrestler that's over enough to carry the ball.

Brock should not have his own plane.

Who are you or anyone else to say Brock shouldn't take his own money out of his own bank account and buy a plane and God forbid fly in it?

 

He wasn't a team player because he didn't fly with the rest of the guys?

[The Ghost of bps21 0]

Big Show jobbed to Jeff Hardy on his way off of Raw and won the SD title a couple months later.

 

Anyone can be built up by changing shows.

 

RVD and Booker are bad candidates for a different reason:

 

RVD's contract is up soon, and Booker is old. There's no guarantee how long either of them will be around.

 

I forsee Kane going to SD! and we get Kane/Taker feuding for months...

I said "IN THE EYES OF THE WWE". For crying out loud, you and I both know that RVD and Booker T can be a main eventer if the WWE is commited to it. However, in the eyes of the WWE, they'll want to have credible main eventers that they can push right away to the top of the card. If they have to bring in people whom they believe they have to build up as main eventers, they'll just take some of the talent of Smackdown and do the same.

 

Also there is still the possiblity of Edge going to RAW still. And frankly, I still believe that he'll end up on RAW.

 

Besides A-Train, realistically there isn't many whom WWE would consider pushing. I could only see Mysterio and Tajiri being pushed if they got lucky but they are in Crusier right now (been said many times, IE: Hell).

He did the job to and made Guerrero look like a total star in their title match at No Way Out. That's all the Team Player quality I need. Anything else I could care less about.

But God forbid he help out a fellow wrestler WITHOUT bitching about it. That's not being a team player. That's following orders.

[Enigma 0]

As long as he stays professional and does what he's supposed to on TV, I don't really care.

Who DID he bitch about?

 

Bob Holly?

 

Can you BLAME him?

Considering how often people go over the top star on the other show...

 

We'll take what we can get.

[Guest Jimmy Saint]

God I hope he turns up in Japan at some point now.

 

Lesner vs Takayama, Kobashi, Nagata, Akiyama etc etc.

 

Go on Brock you know its the right move.

[haVoc 0]

Almost no one is 110% a team player once at the top. They protect their spot. Hogan, Flair, Bret, Shawn, Taker, Austin, Nash, etc,. It's business.

 

Didn't Rock shoot down the idea to work with and put Cena over at Mania?

Yeah, but he did it because it made no sense since both were faces.

[Guest thetrendsetter]

Lesnar should be expected to put up with trash like Holly

 

Rules don't change just because Lesnar's a great worker.

 

Flair had to wrestle some fucking abortions of wrestlers in his day, Like Garvin, and he jobbed to him.

My god. I'm almost drooling at the thought of Brock Lesnar vs. Yoshihiro Takayama or Brock Lesnar vs. Kenta Kobashi. Do it, Brock! Puroresu beckons!

[bradolson 0]

I can't help thinking WWE could of made up the rumor because everyone assumed Lesner would win at Manin with Goldberg leaving. Now it's more unpredictable and I want to see the match more.

Part of me agrees with this post. There are a lot of the parts of this story that don't make much since. But we'll see...

It sounds to me like Lesnar is tired of wrestling in general, thus why he wants to go play football for the NFL. So I doubt he's gonna be showing up in a Japanese fed any time soon.

[Guest Goodear]

Pssst, Flair jobbing the NWA title was all Flair's idea so that he could win the belt back at Starcade. The only reason Ronnie was tapped is because no one else would take the job.

[Downhome 0]

You say fuck Bob Holly.

 

You say fuck The Undertaker.

 

Well I say fuck Brock Lesner.

 

 

In the history of the business, no one has been given the push that Brock Lesnar recieved from WWE. He debuted, ran over everyone he faced, won the KOTR and with that earned the right to a title shot at the second biggest show of the year, against the Rock no less, and he WON the title.

 

He's defeated Rocky, Taker, Angle, TBS, Hogan, Flair, RVD, Cena, Orton, Edge Mysterio, Eddie, A-Train, and almost every other top name in WWE. He'll, he's beat just about everyone period. Since he debuted, almost two years ago, he has main evented TEN PPVs, which is more than it sounds seeing how we've had the split RAW/SD PPVs for a while now. He has won high profile gimmick matches (Stretcher, HITC) over big names. He not only main evented WrestleMania XIX, he not only WON in said main event at WM, but he DOMINATED the very feud leading up to the match, destroying now only Angle but everyone Angle had to help him as well.

 

So yeah, he's been the #1 more promoted guy in history, in such a short period of time. I don't know of anyone else, in any wrestling promotion, that has been given the push of Brock Lesnar.

 

What Brock fails to understand apparently, is that even when you are a top guy, there will still be times that others are given something more important to do, for whatever reason.

 

Brock almost killed Holly in a match (I know, it was Holly's actual fault, but I'm speaking in terms of storyline), and Holly comes back for revenge. Now, had it been me I would NEVER have had a Holly/Brock feud. I would have just had Holly return and not even mention why and how it happened to him. But, WWE decided against that and put them in a match together at the RR. While it wasn't the best thing ever, I don't see something like that worth quiting over. Ok, so Brock was in a feud with a mid-carder for a while, big deal. All the other big stars on his show were involved in other things, so why the hell not. It isn't like Brock was dominated, as every time they actually have had a match Brock all but destroyed Holly.

 

Once again, he comes out on top.

 

Then right after that we get a hell of a great feud (albeit very short) between Brock/Eddie. We got great TV out of both their segments and matches, and in the end it helped to create a brand new WWE star in Eddie. Nothing wrong with that at all.

 

For the past few weeks they have been trying to promote Brock/Goldberg, only Goldberg hasn't been able to be around for the past few weeks, so they are doing the best that they can without Goldberg being there, by using Austin. Once again, nothing wrong with that.

 

For the love of God, not only were they building that match up huge in terms of names, etc... but I assure you the idea was to have the "WWE created superstar" just destroy the "WCW guy" and send Goldberg packing back to Atlanta. Out of everyone they could have used to finish off Goldberg in his last match, they use Brock Lesnar. That in itself says a lot about their faith in Lesnar. WWE knows that the man was their future, and they have been treating him as such for the past two years.

 

Then this thing about him possibly being fed to Taker after WM. Once again, nothing at ALL a professional should actually QUIT over. Does Brock not understand that Taker is nearning the very end of his career, while Brock is only at the very beginning? At this stage of Brock's career, in anyones career, there WILL be times where you go down, where you job to someone else who has been around longer than you, where you will "play ball" and suck it up and do what you are told.

 

If he actually thought he was being burried, then he's out of his mind. Brock Lesnar, obviously, was the future of WWE. If WWE didn't have that mindset, they wouldn't have been giving him the type of push that he has recieved for the past two years.

 

So yeah, fuck you Brock Lesnar. Fuck you for not knowing how to play this game, not knowing that every once in a while you'll be depushed, not knowing that you wont always be on the very tip top of the mountain. This isn't a Benoit/Eddie, etc... that we are talking about. Brock has been a guy who has either been at the very top, or working with the only goal of getting back to the top, since he basicly debuted.

 

If this is all true and he's leaving, then I say good. It's better now for WWE to find out what a bitch with his tail between his legs that Lesnar is, instead of years down the road (see Austin). It's better now that they find out he's not a team player, instead of when they are really in a bind in the middle of a more important feud.

 

If he leaves, I'll welcome him back, as I love Brock Lesnar. He's one of my favorite actual workers of the past five years. I enjoy all of his matches, and I dig his character.

 

I'm just not too happy with the man any more.

 

Good luck in football you twat. From 1wrestling.

 

PWInsider.com reported today that Brock Lesnar has announced to coworkers that he will be leaving the WWE after Wrestlemania and will pursue a career in the NFL.

 

Lesnar has been upset in recent months about the WWE travel schedule and about the direction of his character, and has been vocal to WWE management about his feelings.

 

Lesnar's announcement came in the weekly pre-show talent meeting before yesterday's Smackdown taping. Lesnar had erupted at one of those meetings several weeks ago and threatened to kill any of his coworkers he found out was leaking to the internet.

 

And here's to Goldberg getting all the money he wants, just to piss off Brock Lesnar. Even if I hated Goldberg, I'd like to see that happen. Bwahahahahahahahaha.

and that he knew HHH would ruin it and he was afraid he'd steal cena's spotlight.

I wish Vader was in shape, that would be an awesome match.Even Scott Norton would be good for a 5 minute match.
