Enigma 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2004 Scott Pearson and Terry Nordenstrom set word that in today's Minneapolis Tribune, Sid Hartman wrote the following: "Friends of former Gophers and pro wrestler Brock Lesnar say he is ready to make a comeback." Hartman didn't say what Lesnar wanted to come back to, but since he only left wrestling, that would be the only thing that made sense. With The Royal Rumble and WrestleMania around the corner, it would actually make perfect sense.

RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2004 Straight-up, true or not. Brock Lesnar on RAW would have me so fucking hyped - first time since probably the ECW twist or Hogan at WM 18. Shit, Lesnar/Batista, Lesnar/Orton, Lesnar/Benjamin, Lesnar/Benoit, Lesnar/HHH, Lesnar/Jericho, Lesnar/Edge - Smackdown might need him more, but shit, he belongs on RAW. I miss Lesnar more than anyone else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest LooneyTune Report post Posted December 11, 2004 Go to Smackdown! They have 1 heel main eventer. ONE! As much as I want Batista vs. Brock, Smackdown needs the power of main event more than Raw.

Guest Ronnie755 Report post Posted December 11, 2004 Do they really mean WWE or is it just them talking about Brock wanting to take another chance on making it to the NFL? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spaceman Spiff 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2004 Personally, I think he'd give 1 more try at making the NFL next year, seeing as he wasn't exactly in top form this past year (coming off wrestling, the motorcycle accident). If he fails, then I think he'd come back at that point. Off course, if he wants to come back sooner, I'd be all for it. He'd easily be the most over heel in the entire company. I only hope the WWE doesn't job him out right away to "teach him a lesson", *especially* to Taker/HHH/Orton. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2004 I'd put more stock in the rumor if Taker was almost set in stone to retire after Mania, because Brock may find the SD locker room more hospitable with his buddy Angle running things than he would with Taker.

Considering that the plan before he left was a squash feud with the Taker, it wouldn't be shocking if they picked up right where they left off. Which would just be utterly ridiculous. Brock would have nuclear heel heat, so to job him out to a guy who doesn't need the win would be insanely counter-productive, as it wouldn't help Taker and would only hurt Brock. So, yeah, I could see them doing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Vince cares about more than just money, Lesnar should be jobbed out to an extreme to show as an example of what not to do. If Vince just wants a bigger payday, fuck the future, then have him go on winning streak by all means. I would only take him back if he: relearnt how to do a proper SSP, didn't complain about his knees or the ropes, came crawling back on his sore knees, was willing to be humilated until the boys in the back could except him as someone who earned their dues ten fold. Fuck Lesnar from a long-term business standpoint. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fuck Lesnar from a long-term business standpoint. I don't really think this company is in any shape to prove a point. Interest is dying, the product on both shows is poor (for the most part). They shouldn't sacrifice a money angle to do a "that shows you." I also think they need to accept the blame for some of this. There's only so far you can push a guy before he's had enough. Especially after you've put him atop such a high pedestal to begin with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2004 What exactly is the point of taking Lesnar back? Bring him back and give him a huge push and the whole roster might revolt. If you job him out to everyone under the sun then he really has no heat and no possibility of drawing money. I suppose the best thing to do is bring him back, job him in a very tough match to someone high up on the roster (paying the dues), and then slowly begin to push him again.

Precious Roy 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2004 Send HBK and Benoit or Jericho to Smackdown and bring Lesnar over to RAW. This is good news. I'm doing the happy dance. RAW can't lose Jericho. However, HBK or Benoit would liven up SD! a great deal. I'd prefer to see Lesnar on RAW as well, and HBK has done every possible program on RAW, so something like HBK for Lesnar would be perfect IMO.
