Brock Lesnar quits WWE after Mania!

[NYU 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.

 

They worked for years to earn their spot. I'm not saying it's right at all, but they all wound up working hard to get to where they were. Even Nash. They didn't have everything handed to them on a silver platter.

 

Brock has been in the business for two years, yet still feels he has the ability to give speeches to people in the business MUCH longer than he about "needing to work harder" and "stay off the internet, GODDAMMIT, or I'll kick your ass."

 

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

 

If we're to believe the sheets, he did that because he didn't want Triple H eventually feuding with Cena and once again beating someone that Rock had put over. Like Booker T last year.

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.

You see there is a difference between Garvin and Holly.

 

Garvin at least had a background, a story to himself. He's been around for awhile, and Flair didn't have to change anything about his character to job to him.

 

Lesnar not only had to undergo a character change (bad ass monster, to frighten scared bitch) and Holly was just returning from a neck injury and had nothing that built him up to say that he could even wrestler with Lesnar. Sure, the revenge storyline went over great for at least getting Holly to the point where he was getting a reaction, but same could be said for the storyline involving Garvin.

 

But you see the problem revolves around that they didn't keep Holly up as a main eventer player or even have him on the same level as Brock. Holly got an 8 minute match and then it was pretty much to jobber level and Holly couldn't even stand on the same footing as Lesnar. Didn't Holly just job to Lesnar in two minutes just this past Smackdown?

 

Hell, at least Garvin wasn't getting jobbed out immediately right after shot at the title.

Since we're talking about dream matches, allow me to chime in:

 

Brock Lesnar vs. Repo Man

 

COME ON, BROCK! GO INDEPENDENT!

Eddy.

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.

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!

Brock is one of about three people in the WWE who would not only draw in japan but put on cracking matches as well. The schedule for him, he could say just work one big Noah show a month and then sit on his ass recovering for a few weeks then go back.

 

 

btw the others i would say would be Kurt Angle and Benoit. Eddy could draw just not at the level I think those two could. It would be a bloody good move for Angle as well. Maybe not finacially or health wise but if he wants to actually improve as a worker it would be a wise move. I could see kurt being a bigger star in japan than he is in the WWE as well.

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 don't know BPS,but with this huge gap in SD's main event scene i feel that the WWE will offer RVD a better chance to get over and a better contract, at least they wouldn't be paying for Rob's travel expenses.Rob knows that he is in a good position to get a better contract with Lesnar quitting WWE.

Yet how different is it for Lesnar? He's been putting up with having to do everything the company says they want from him. He's probably been giving those exact speeches because guess what? That's exactly what they want him to say. He's been playing their tune, yet they haven't exactly been doing anything that would please any star that would be in his position (besides Angle, who's now the company bitch). I doubt for a second that any of the other guys would do the exact same as Brock Lesnar had, except more backstabber like.

 

Oh and onto the Rock thing, you also forgot to say Hurricane as well. Hell, Hurricane was even worse than Booker T if you ask me, since Rock did a hell of a lot more to build him up then he had with Booker T. Shit, at least Booker T got a shot at the title on a PPV.

Didnt want to lose his steam heading into Mania against Goldberg.

[Guest Krazy Karter]

I'd imagine he would come back if the football thing doesn't pan out.

 

For the next seven years he would still only be able to wrestle in WWE, unless Vince decides to let him completely out of his contract.

 

In that case a Lesnar-Goldberg rematch in Japan this summer would be crazy.

I wonder if Vince places a 7 year Gag Order on Brock...

And its for that reason that I doubt the WWE would let him completely out of his contract.

 

Personally, I think this NFL idea will go about as well as Hulk Hogan's presidential campaign.

[Guest thebigjig]

he'll be back... he'll be back

He has a legitimate point, but he had to get rid of the belt.

 

I'd say getting beat up by Gunn and Holly after the show was what killed his momentum.

 

 

And his problem seems to be more with the timing of the drop than the man himself.

Pwinsider just said that since Brock and Sable were a couple they are not sure how this will affect her.

That depends... Aren't some of the owners in the NFL looking for ways to bring money to their company any way possible?

 

I could honestly see some of the owners actually making at a run to hire Lesnar just for the possibility of the extra buck off of getting more wrestling fans to watch their product. Hell, by signing Lesnar, you'd probably get some good publicity (all publicity is good remember) as it would probably make headlines across the sports media.

ok that there destroyed any minute credibility that dirtsheet had with me, and this story as well.

Sable and Brock? Surely a lie.

Uh, everyone else reported the exact same thing about Brock leaving, so I doubt it's a lie.

 

Although, I don't doubt that Lesnar and Sable are a lie.

 

Oh and guess what people:

Lesnar update

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 toady.

 

This might mean the Goldberg vs. Lesnar match might not even be ON. Go for broke on the speculation of THAT tidbit. We might not even get the matchup.

[Guest Choken One]

it never said they weren't doing the Mania match...READ the fucking thing first.

 

Brock isn't blowing his WM paycheck by ANY means.

Actually I remember hearing that they were romatically linked a while back.

 

 

This is just very depresseing news. It's almost eerily similar to the Steve Austin situation from 2 years ago. You got to wonder if there's more to this than meets the eye. At the time Austin walked out for basically the same reasons but actually was dealing with his rapidly deterioating neck and the end of his career which he couldn't deal with to make public. I wonder if Brock is just broken down but doesn't want to admit it. I'm really hoping Brock takes a few months to cool off, think about his situation and come back. It will be just like Austin I think where they bury him on TV and run a Confidential piece about how unprofessional he was, before coming back soon enough.

 

Oh and if this means more leverage to resign Goldberg, good. I really think the WWE would be dropping the boat by not bringing back Goldberg who IS over with the crowd and could create many hot programs on Smackdown with the likes of Undertakes, Angle, Eddie, etc.

 

Is this the new trend where after Wrestlemania someone is gone forever?!

18: Austin

19: Angle

20: Brock

I took that to mean that Lesnar could still change his mind about quitting from now until Wrestlemania, not that the match wouldn't be on.
