Brock Lesnar to join NFL

[g-unit80744]

I can't belive it. Brock Lesnar is coming to the NFL. It said it on Wrestlemania and wwe.com backdoor. He will problably be very good if he is a defensive player with his strengh. I think he is on steriods so i dont know what will happen with that issue. Im wondering if he will enter the draft or a free agent?

Holla

[REDSFAN2004]

ive known about this for a while now being a some what wwe fan the vikings already shot down rumors of them giving him a tryout though but who ever he signs with if he does at all i hate to be the one lesnar tackles thats for sure.

[Tw0mey]

It would most likely be a free agent.
He's too old and out of college.

[g-unit80744]

i know one thing im getting his jersey.

[ut_jazz]

i wondered what happened to him. i hope the broncos get him

[Bears34]

Sorry guys no roids for BRock. For those that dont know he was a spectacular wrestler at the U of Minnesota. And has always been this big if not bigger. He was going to try and play football for the Gophers his last year in college ,but the WWE offered him too much money so he became a pro wrestler. He was a great HS football player as well. Hes on the radio a lot here in Minneapolis and has always talked about wanting to play football.

He was on the radio the other day here (KFAN) saying that he is fed up with the BS travel schedule and the FAKE wrestling of the WWE. He wants to play for the league minumum and will not want a signing bonus of any sort. He just wants a chance to play. Of course he wants to play for his local team the Viking , but so far all mike Tice has said is that hes not interested in Brock.


Also he just did a workout the other day.

4.6 40yd dash/ 35 in verticle leap/ 10 foot broad jump

I find it quite hilarious that the fans of the WWE call him a sell out for giving up millions with the WWE just to tryand play football and actually play a legit sport. no wonder he got fed up with the Fake BS of the WWE.

[ut_jazz]

Also his former manager paul heyman left (yes!) on monday.. I'm a wrestling fan and i don't consider him a sell-out, I can't wait to see what he can do on the football field.

[Freddy Foxxx]

Is this for real? 'Cause to me it sounds like a WWE publicity stunt!!

[Mariners in 2006]

I dont know if its for real or not, but look at the size of this guy... :shock:

[Freddy Foxxx]

He looks like he's about to fall over! What position does he plan on playing? He dosen't look too fast!

[g-unit80744]

He looks like he's about to fall over! What position does he plan on playing? He dosen't look too fast!

He's really fast. He was problably the fastest Heavyweight wrestler in the WWE. Heyman quit because of Lesnar which I liked but I hate Angle. Should I start a WWE Thread in the Off-Topic borad?

[REDSFAN2004]

i think heyman quit because of the storyline not because of lesnar and its looking like heyman is gonna bring back ecw real soon sometime.

[g-unit80744]

i think heyman quit because of the storyline not because of lesnar and its looking like heyman is gonna bring back ECW real soon sometime.

He could have gotten fired but I doubt that. How could he bring back ECW? Every superstar is staying in WWE. SInce WrestlemaniaXX Vince has made alot of changes like cuting Farooq and swaping wrestlers.

[REDSFAN2004]

you obviously dont go to any wrestling websites on many its stated that there bringing back ecw sometime and paul heyman will be apart of it again as well.

[Trusow]

Sorry, Im just stating my opinion.

[ut_jazz]

Does anyone know if he signed with any1? i haven't heard anything

[Stone Cold]

The last time I saw him he was getting stunned by Steve Austin!!!

[DubR8der]

I think Brock would be a good right or left end...he's fast enough to get around the corner on most tackles and strong enough to stand them up off the line. Raiders need another D-end....Brock..come to Oakland

[g-unit80744]

The last time I saw him he was getting stunned by Steve Austin!!!

So much for Stone Cold he got released and might return in a few years if him and the WWE come to any agreement.

Stone Cold will be back in a month. They could never get rid of him for longer than a few months. He is Austin. And any person who knows wrestling knows Austin is the one and only, he needs to be in the WWE

Lita vs. Victoria-Lita
Orton vs. Catus Jack-Orton
Flair vs. Benjamin-Benjamin
Edge vs. Kane-Kane
Y2J vs. Christian and Trish-Y2J

I also heard that Bret Hart and Sting will be at Backlash. 8)

[REDSFAN2004]

brock lesnar got injured in a motorcycle accident go to www.wrestlingexposed.com or www.411wrestling.com if you dont believe me and its unknown what his football future will hold now but it did say he has worked out with a few teams or caught a few teams interest.

I heard about that on backstagewrestling.com

[STYLUS1274]

No way will that over sized freak make it onto any nfl roster. Im wondering where you saw he ran a 4.6 40. yeah right. thats as fast as an nfl linebacker.

[Freddy Foxxx]

The guy cound't even make an Arena League roster! What a joke! Yeah he runs a 4.6 and Ted Washington runs a 4.5! Gimme a break! Where's this info coming from Vince McMahon? Too bad the XFL is no longer around, he might have a chance there!

[christoph]

well you wanna know what I think. I think even if he was to have played sometime before he's gonna suck because he hasn't hit in a long time and he might not know how to hit so basically he might just be usless unless he can hit and do what he's told.

[g-unit80744]

Hel! yeah Im going to Smackdown when it comes to teh Nassau Colliseium on 6/8/04. So far I no Cena Gurerro Cena and Taker will be therre.

[REDSFAN2004]

thats great man ive been to a smackdown taping myself and it was awesome.

[REDSFAN2004]

i just read on wrestlingexposed.com that brock lesnar turned down an offer from the kc chiefs to continue training and i also read that mike tice of the vikings is interested in signing lesnar he said if it helps us win why not so take that for what you will.

[GoYanks016]

Wrestinglling is ***.

Lets watch a bunch of guys in underwear grab each other...

i stopped watching it when WCW ended, that when things went down the drain. it was interesting back in the fay with shawn michaels, and the undertaker wearing purple, no smackdown, nothing was really predictable.

Now they killed it

[g-unit80744]

thats great man ive been to a smackdown taping myself and it was awesome.

And I'm also gonna try and get tickets to Summerslam 2004 since its in my hometown of Uniondale.

[REDSFAN2004]

according to www.wrestlingexposed.com more teams are interested or some what interested in brock lesnar and he will be working out for teams may 17th so take that for what you will.on a side note im going to raw the night after bad blood i cant wait. :D

[GreyHoundSteve]

I always thought wrestling was... well lame but then i gave the wwf a chance and really enjoyed it for about 2 years untill the wcw and ecw ifestation killed the wwf. The wwe now STINKS and i refuse to watch it! When Brock came on the scene i though... Whose this monster? Well Brock was never much of an actor but you couldnt argue with his athletisism. He is a monster indeed and the only guy in the wwe who can hang with him IMO is Kurt Angle who is without a doubt the best wrestler ever.
Of course being from TX i will always love Stone Cold and i even names my Dog after him but Stone Cold was never much of a wrestler and although the stunner is one of the best finishing moves ever... stone cold isnt what he used to be but without him wwe wouldnt be in business today.

Back to Brock. If Brock can truly run a 4.6 40 then i see no reason why any nfl team wouldnt be interested in him. Heres a guy that can pick up a 500lb giant over his head and throw him and can run a 4,6 and your telling me teams wouldnt give him a look? Lets also not forget that Brock was a champion college wrestler and knows a thing or two about leverage and this is just a shot in the dark but i would be willing to stack Brocks bench press numbers against any former or current nfl player and would be suprised if Brock didnt come out on top. Now im not saying that any muscle bound freak can play in the nfl because thats just stupid but i will say that any team that wouldnt want to take a look at a guy who was a champion college wrestler and can run a 4.6 40 and bench press over 600lbs repeatadly would be a fool. :wink:

[Erique]

The thing about Brock is that he was pushed faster than any other star in WWE history. He became a champion only a year after he started, while he was promoted over countless wrestlers that have put in YEARS and YEARS of service. I don't think Brock sold out, but the least he could have done was to put over some of those superstars that put HIM over. Instead, he just leaves abruptly when the WWE made him a star. Now he runied any chance of him coming back (well, this is the WWE, I guess I shouldn't say that), and in the process didn't put over ANY new talent. His last match he let Goldberg win, and it's not like Goldberg put over anybody either. He basically scr3wed the WWE, and that's why the WWE and fans are mad at him.

He's not technically a sellout, but he owed the WWE at least that much.

[GreyHoundSteve]

Goldberg was one of the main reasons i stopped watching wrestling. He is the poster boy for what wrestling shouldnt be... CHEESE!

With his stone cold knock off hair cut and his "your next" snarl he's about as lame a character as i can imagine. He is like HHH in the sense that whateve they say... sounds stupid and unbelievable. They have to get the crowd on his side because no one cares enough about him to play a villian. Goldberg is crap and the wwe was stupid to hire that fool and all the other wcw regects. IMO Y2J was the only decent aquasition from that pathetic company. When the two comapnies joined the talent pool got too daluted and these clowns took valuable air time away from guys like, Kurt Angle, Eddie Guerero, Y2J and many other talented wrestlers who can not only put on a good show but can deliver their lines as if they werent reading them off the palm of their hands.

[K Bomber]

I like Eddie Guerrero a lot. If you ever pick up the game Legends of Wrestling 2 there are dozens of interviews with a bunch of the old guys like Eddie, Hulk Hogan, George "The Animal" Steele (who is hilarious.....), Terry Funk and others -- it's a riot

In the interviews Guerrero is really soft-spoken and humble, especially given that he was out of wrestling at the time. I have to admit I enjoy him and Chris Benoit at the top of the heap. Those guys are right crazy

Still love the whole Jimmy "The Superfly" Snuka of the top of the cage in MSG experience though..............

Lol, Eddie IS from WCW.

I really enjoyed WCW a long time ago, but man WWF took it over something fierce, during the whole Rock/Stone Cold/corporation thing. That was the twilight of wrestling.

I see what you mean about Goldberg, but HHH? I don't see how people can't give this guy credit. He is the best there is honestly, he can make a whole arena HATE him, and that takes some real talent. In fact, hes the only bad guy anyone takes seriously anymore.

Oh, and I think I'm the only one, but I really think Chris Benoit is overrated. To me, he just brings no intensity. Hes a great mat wrestler, but thats it. I love the wrestlers than can wrestle AND entertain ex. Angle, HHH, Eddie, etc. etc.

Is it also amazing when Triple H, HHH, gets close to Vince McMahans daughter, Stephenie, which they just recently for real got married, how quickly he came from nothing to a a major Superstar. He basically became a superstar in less than a year. I guess becoming a star comes very quickly when you get close to the owners daughter.

It is not hard to make a lot of people hate you. Just act like you own all them because you have money, they are your servents, and whatever everybody wants and like, goes gives a damn approach, which is his approach, is very easy to pull off.

Angle, please, Kurt Angle is just another Mat wrestler, he is in no way fun to watch. I love what Kurt does off the ring, not when he is performing. I have a lot of respect for Kurt, because he heads a lot of organizations that aims at bettering our country.

[ut_jazz]

Actually Triple H was a pretty big star before that. He was the leader of the most popular group in the WWF: DeGeneration X. Plus he got much more buff. He's my fav. wrestler.

[Erique]

Yea really. He worked his butt off. He dedicated his life to the WWE, and he's being rewarded for it.

And if its that easy, why doesn't anyone else get the reaction that HHH gets when he comes out? He's great on the mic, and can hold his own in the ring.

And you really dislike Angle? He's the best mat wrestler there is, and the fact that he's as good on the mic as he is, while growing up as an ametur wrestler, is just amazing. And Angle is DEDICATED to the WWE, unlike Brock. If Angle did wnat to go back to ameteur wrestling, you KNOW he'd at least put some people over first.

[ambrosio4]

I think he is the only "heel" to win the main event at Wrestlemania. Maybe a couple times, can't remember.... I thought the original dx/clique was absolutely hilarious. I think Scott Hall was probably one of my favorites though....

I had read at one time that Angle made quick work of Lessner wrestling (olympic style)

[Erique]

Did you hear about the Jericho/Goldberg incident? Goldberg was ****ed about something Jericho did, and was yelling at him in the locker room trying to berate him or whatever. Jericho yelled back so Goldberg tried to fight and Jericho put him down to the ground in some kind of arm bar. Big old Goldberg downed by someone half his size. Awesome story.

[Nomahh]

So whats the deal exactly with Lesnar?

[ut_jazz]

that's what i wanna know :!:

[REDSFAN2004]

last i heard about lesnar is that he will be working out for a few teams around may 17th or so.it could have changed by now though just have to wait and see.

[Reneg4de]

thats great man ive been to a smackdown taping myself and it was awesome.

And I'm also gonna try and get tickets to Summerslam 2004 since its in my hometown of Uniondale.


your not far from me im in merrick lol although im not a wrestling fan anymore cool to know there are 2k fans from long isl on the boards

[g-unit80744]

So whats the deal exactly with Lesnar?

The guys a chick magent. Sable quit cause of him. Lucky ******* has Playboy and porn stars all over him.

[REDSFAN2004]

sables getting up there but she still has an ok body if i was lesnar id drop her and get with the pornstars.

[ut_jazz]

she ain't nothing compared to stacey keibler... "she's got legs, and she knows how to use them"

[REDSFAN2004]

stacy keibler is definately one hot chick i cant wait to see her when i go to raw june 14th but anyways brock lesnar is scheduled to workout for some teams soon and sports illustrated will run a story on it and espn will broadcast his workout i forget when his workout is but go to www.wrestlingexposed.com if you dont believe me im sure there are other sites that have this same information as well.

[DubR8der]

please stop! HHH is the modern day Hulkster...calling all the shots, and up until tapping out to Benoit..wouldn't lose a match to anyone! Put someone over once in a while!! Long live the Ultimate Warrior!

[Erique]

What? HHH was a bad guy, the bad guy isn't supposed to lose but once or twice a year. He was a monster, but he always lost when it came down to it, at the end of a long fued.

He does call his shots, but who here doesn't try to do that? Now he loses to the likes of Shelton Benjamin.

WWE needed a monster bad guy, and HHH was that man for a long time. And with that role comes a lot of wins (by cheating of course), and the good guys lose alot. That's just the way it goes in wrestling.

HHH is expected to win the title back at Summerslam 04. He'll beat Benoit in a Hell in a Cell. I hope he losses to HBK or Kane.

[ambrosio4]

I thought Brock had a wife and kid or something, and that spending time away from them was the reason he quit WWE?

[REDSFAN2004]

i think brock and his wife split up and thats how hes involved with sable and i think your right he has a son or daughter i cant remember which.

[GreyHoundSteve]

Y2J rules! I would love to see y2j put goldberg in the walls.lol

I'd like to know what the results of Brocks work out are... anyone with any info... post up.

[henchmen]

Last reports are Lesnar had a Workout scheduled with the Baltimore Ravens yesterday. I also heard about Jericho putting Goldberg Down. I also read that Bret Hart and Vince McMahon have come to an Agreement for Bret's Return to the WWE and soon.

There are also reports that Hogan and possibly the Ultimate Warrior would be make a return to the WWE after turning down offers from TNA who finally got a TV deal from Fox Sports Network, but TNA got a ****ty deal with a 3PM time slot.

Stone Cold was arrested again for Domestic Abuse on his Ex-Wife in San Antonio 3 days ago. He has been in the Works of Doing a Large PPV Event against Goldberg in Japan. I read they have become pretty good friend out of the Ring.

Too Bad the Macho Man has decided to go after a RAP career :roll:

BTW, did you guys know that Bret Hart suffered a Stroke a couple of years ago after Falling off his Mountain Bike and severely injuring his Skull? Sorry to all the other Wrestling fans but...

He is the Best Wrestler there ever IS, WAS, or EVER WILL BE. Austin had attitude and a great Gimmick as well as the Rock, don't get me wrong. But BRET HART is the best technical Wrestler there is. I had no idea his downfall began with a Kick from Goldberg that nearly knocked him into Century 22.

Other News and Notes..Stacy Keibler is Doing a Spread in PENTHOUSE :shock: :shock: :shock: Good Grief..I hope I can keep composed. She's a little shy up top but, my lord that woman is Dope and her legs make up for it 10 fold.

What do you guys think of Eugene? LMAO..you know the guy is straighter than George the Animal Steele was. i found it funny that The Animal was a College Professor early on in his life. YOU!!! NITH!!!

I can hear McMahon now.."He's just Salivating..Look at that Green Nasty Tongue Lapping about!" Eating the Turnbuckle and tossing the Foam up in the air?...Great and Classic Gimmick. And he's the originator of the FUR..sorry A-Train.

[ambrosio4]

Michaels v Hart were some classic "technical" matches. I guess that would be the immediate angle should he ever return. Never thought I'd see the day when Hart would return..... but then again I said the same about Hogan...

btw, unfortunately I cringe when I see Michaels wrestle now....

[GreyHoundSteve]

I dont know if there is anything more disterbing than watching the "sexy boy" *** it up out there. I have ALWAYS hated hbk but his return was one of the most imbarrasing ever. Hart had his day but even in his prime he wouldnt hold a candle to Kurt. You guys act like kurt isnt an OLYMPIC GOLD MEDAL winner and that moon saw he did off the top of the cage was one of the greatest moments ever in wwe history.

[henchmen]

I would love to see Bret Hart vs Kurt Angle..but we all know Kurt will never walk again...LMAO

I think Vince has lost his mind

[REDSFAN2004]

i hadnt heard about stacy doing a spread in penthouse when is it do you know hench? anyways i like the eugene character i just dont like the fact how wwe is pokeing fun at a kid thats really like that. that attends some of there shows i forget where i read that but i just find that part wrong of wwe.i know its sports entertainment but it just ****es me off what vince does for rateings sometimes thats all.

[g-unit80744]

I would love to see Bret Hart vs Kurt Angle..but we all know Kurt will never walk again...LMAO

I think Vince has lost his mind

Angle didn't even have a bandage on his head which " split" open. Vince could have came up with like Big Show making a return in a few months after surgery and then having Show going face and have him vs. Angle. I would have liked that or somethong simular.

Speaking of Eugene I hated the segment with him and Coach. It was mean. :lol: But the part with Rock was awsome. Never would expect it. HHH lol.

[ut_jazz]

yeah man, i was so glad to see the rock come back. the guy is the best entertainer. i really hope that he can continue to make more and more appearances.

[g-unit80744]

yeah man, i was so glad to see the rock come back. the guy is the best entertainer. i really hope that he can continue to make more and more appearances.

[REDSFAN2004]

if austin returns to wwe at all ive read on a few sites that it will probably be at mania21.i would like for him to return sooner but even i know it wont happen.

[KevBo2k]

Stacy Kiebler in penthouse=awesome. I saw the torrie wilson spread in playboy and that was amazing as well.

[Erique]

Honestly, Torrie Wilson is one of the finest specimens on the planet, not just wrestling. Those playboy shots are just amazing, putting Sable to shame in every possible way.

That moonsault by Kurt was amazing for the simple fact that he WAS just a wrestler before entering the WWE. I'm still amazed that someone who didn't know or care about wrestling at all has turned out to be the most entertaining figure out there today. Why are they wasting his talents on Smackdown, I'll never know.

[REDSFAN2004]

to add to the brock lesnar nfl story espn will have a segment sunday morning with him on it at 9:30a.m.

Ok ok ok, hold up.

Bret Hart better than Ric Flair? I doubt that, son. Bret was cool and all, and he was good for his time, but no one touched Slick Ric. Dominant in the 80s, dominant in the 90s, even dominant now (even though he needs a sports bra every time he wrestles). Anyway, I do feel sorry for Bret. His career was spent making every move look deadly (even though it wasn't), and it's ironic that his career was ended by a guy who didn't take much care into his moves.

But on topic, I'd be interested in the Lesnar story, just to see how the media treats him. There's no secret that wrestlers are considered somewhere near crotch rot on the human evolutionary ladder.

ESPN.com

MINNEAPOLIS -- The cute and curvy blonde 20-something had no idea what she was getting herself into. In her barely-there halter-top and her glossy red lipstick, she slithered into the giant's arms, set her chin on his chest, looked up into his eyes and delivered the message she had been sent to ask.

"My friend Shawn thinks you're kinda cute," she said.

Not Shawna. Not Shana.

Shawn.

The 6-foot-3, 290-pound Goliath, the guy who benches 475 pounds, squats 695 pounds, steamed.

"Yeah?" the former pro wrestler said, his voice growing louder, his eyes getting bigger. "Well you tell that ..."

To print what Brock Lesnar said might make even John Rocker blush. But after his curse-laden outburst, he turned to a nearby reporter and explained, "I don't like ***s. Write that down in your little notebook. I don't like ***s."

Offended? Too bad. He doesn't care what you think. What your mom thinks. Or what that guy at the end of the bar thinks, his sexual orientation not withstanding. Lesnar is a self-described "blue-collar redneck" who owns a 47-acre ranch and spends his free time jumping up and down on beds -- sometimes breaking them -- with his 2-year-old daughter, Mya. If he could choose only three television channels to watch, it'd be a 24-hour hunting and fishing network, The Weather Channel and The Penthouse Channel. "I'd be a happy man," he said.

Instead, he's his own man. A man who loves contact. Aggression. And people telling him he can't do something.

It's the reason he can walk away from a lucrative pro wrestling contract and not think twice. It's the reason he can stand in front of the world, tell everyone he's going to play in the NFL and not hear the critics that tell him he's nuts.

While Steve McMichael (a former Chicago Bear), Bill Goldberg (the one-time Atlanta Falcon) and even Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson (who played at the University of Miami) used successful football careers to catapult them onto the professional wrestling stage, Lesnar is trying to do just the opposite.

Lesnar, the former NCAA heavyweight wrestling champion and the World Wrestling Entertainment's youngest champion ever, walked away from a seven-year, $45-million contract in March. In part because he was fed up with his wrestling persona, "The Next Big Thing." In part because he was sick of the travel. But mostly because of his lifelong dream to play professional football.

Though an April motorcycle accident slowed his progress, Lesnar has spent the majority of the past three months training in Arizona, hoping to latch on with a team during summer camp, then spend a year or two on the practice squad on his way to becoming an NFL star.

Think this is like Michael Jordan trying to hit a minor league curveball? Or Terrell Owens trying to prove that he's got the moves to play hoops in the United States Basketball League?

"I'm not stupid. I know the NFL is a difficult world to crack," he says. "But I'll play defensive line to left out. I'm fighting every f------ play. I can fight for real.

"If it was legal and I wouldn't get in trouble, I'd pick a fight on every street. If I wouldn't lose any money or nothing, I would fight. I'd fight every day."

The Next Big Thing
Nobody questions his tenacity. His strength. His pure athletic ability. A few weeks after his wrestling career came to an end with a Wrestlemania loss to Goldberg, Lesnar ran the 40-yard dash in 4.7 seconds, a blistering time for a man his size. He has a 10-foot standing broad jump. A 35-inch vertical leap, not to mention the bench and squat numbers. It's the tools of an NFL running back power packed into a gladiator's frame.

"He's a pitbull," said Luke Richesson, Lesnar's trainer at the International Performance Institute in Phoenix. "The guy is going to turn every single practice into a damn dog fight. They say take it easy? That ain't going to be happening. When you think long term, I would never bet against him."

“ As much as you'd like to take a shot on a guy like him because of his athletic history, do you do it at the expense of cutting another player? Probably not. At the expense of taking reps away from a promising young player? Probably not. With Brock, it's like you're starting from scratch. ”
— Scott Studwell, Vikings player personnel director
Not everybody is sold. Lesnar last played football in 1995, as a high school lineman, running back and linebacker in South Dakota's small-school division, and received a handful of Division II scholarship offers. Eight years later, his football knowledge is raw.

He's worked with former All-Pro Seth Joyner and Ty Parten, a former defensive lineman with the Kansas City Chiefs and Cincinnati Bengals, to learn everything from the proper way to get into a three-point stance to how a defensive lineman drops back into pass coverage.

"He probably knows less than a high school player because he hasn't played in so long," Parten said. "But he wants to learn more."

Still, not many NFL teams have the time to teach him. Working in Lesnar's favor is the expansion of NFL practice squads from five to eight this season. Both the Indianapolis Colts and the Minnesota Vikings worked out Lesnar this month, though neither team has signed him.

"He's a project. Big time," Vikings player personnel director Scott Studwell said. "As much as you'd like to take a shot on a guy like him because of his athletic history, do you do it at the expense of cutting another player? Probably not. At the expense of taking reps away from a promising young player? Probably not. With Brock, it's like you're starting from scratch."

Football vs. Wrestling, Round 1
But Lesnar didn't turn his back on wrestling to fail at football. It was a redo. Five years ago, when he left the University of Minnesota as the NCAA heavyweight wrestling champion, the same two options were put in front of him: Football or wrestling.

Gopher alumn Tony Dungy, then the head coach with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, wanted him to try out for the NFL. At the same time, Vince McMahon, who owns what has since become known as WWE, saw Lesnar as the future of pro wrestling. He offered him guaranteed money. And career stability.

"As a starving college kid, what are you going to do?" Lesnar said. "Money on the table, a sure thing, versus a wild card. Are you kidding me? It was a no-brainer."

Lesnar became the quickest champion in WWE history, and soon had all the fame and fortune any kid from Webster, S.D., could ever want. But the unexpected birth of his daughter to a girlfriend he's no longer dating, combined with the 280-plus days a year on the road -- often in a different city every night -- wore on him. He looked at the older wrestlers, guys like Ric Flair and the Undertaker, and saw how much they missed their families. He didn't like the direction of his wrestling persona, and he couldn't get any straight answers out of McMahon. So after a South African tour in which he spent 50 hours on a plane to wrestle four different nights, he blew up and quit.

"I think Vince thought I'd change my mind and come back," Lesnar said. "But it wasn't going to happen.

"I was at the top of my game in wrestling, I was a three-time champion, I had pretty good coin in my pocket. What was stopping me? A set of nuts. You either nut up or you don't. So I did."

Against the odds
Now comes the challenge of making it pay off. Studwell puts the odds of Lesnar making an NFL team and having a successful pro career at "less than 50 percent." Complicating matters was an April motorcycle accident in which Lesnar broke his jaw, fractured his left hand, severely pulled his groin and suffered tissue damage in his lower abdomen. His testicles were swollen and bruised for weeks.

"Any other sorry sucker who went through that," Lesnar said, "his carcass would still be laying there. He'd be six feet under pushing daisies up. I'm still here."

After the accident, Lesnar's hard-nosed, gotta-play-hurt mentality kept his body from healing. On two separate occasions, NFL workouts had to be postponed because of complications following the accident.

"My mentality was to push through, but nothing could have been worse," Lesnar said. "Now, the main goal is just to get healthy. To get my body back to 100 percent so I can sign with a team, get into camp and show what I can do."

One of the biggest concerns is Lesnar's age. At 26, he's a good five years older than most NFL rookies. If it takes Lesnar two years on the practice squad and spending the offseason playing in NFL Europe to learn the game -- a conservative estimate by most scouts -- he won't be ready to contribute until he's 28.

"At that point, you have to ask yourself if he's past his prime," Studwell said. "Because you've lost some critical years in a football career."

But the transition has been done before. Stephen Neal, who beat Lesnar for the 1999 NCAA heavyweight title as a senior at Cal-State Bakersfield, is a reserve offensive lineman with the New England Patriots. Without any college football experience, he was signed as a non-drafted free agent at the age of 24. If not for a shoulder injury suffered during the preseason, he would have started last year.

"The one thing that blows coaches away is every single time he does a drill, he'll get better," Neal said. "If Brock goes in there with the approach that he knows nothing and can soak everything up like a sponge, it's just a matter of time."

The big question
Heads turn when Lesnar walks into a trendy downtown Minneapolis restaurant, his tight blue T-shirt and baggy khakis clinging to him with his every stride.


“ All that talk is jealousy. I don't need anything to get me up at the gym other than Metallica and AC/DC. When it comes down to it, bring your little **** cup and I will fill it for you. ”
— Brock Lesnar
But the question is nothing new. Neither are the looks. He says they've been there since high school. Yet Lesnar insists he's never used steroids. He points to the fact that he started working out when he was 6 years old, enduring three hernias as a child after trying to replicate his older brother's workouts, as the reason his body developed as it has. He says he was tested for steroids by his college coach, J Robinson, by the NCAA at the national championships and by the WWE. Not once, he says, did he test positive.

Because of the stigma that comes along with professional wrestlers, Lesnar said he plans to submit himself for drug testing as part of the NFL's pre-employment screening process.

"All that talk is jealousy. I don't need anything to get me up at the gym other than Metallica and AC/DC," Lesnar said. "When it comes down to it, bring your little **** cup and I will fill it for you."

A summer of change
The next month is critical for Lesnar's dream. NFL camps open in July, meaning he has less than a month to impress a team, sign a free-agent contract and get ready for camp.

Once there, the biggest challenge begins -- learning the playbook. He'll be stereotyped as the physical freak that talks lots of trash but isn't quite sure how to get into his three-point stance.

He'll have gone from one of the biggest stars in professional wrestling, the center of the spotlight, to a nobody. Once the guy everybody knows, he'll become the guy that wears a piece of masking tape across his helmet to identify who he is.

The odds are against him. His road is long. But just like that night in the club, when he not-so-politely told the 20-something girl he wasn't interested in her male friend, he doesn't care. He's doing this his way.

"This is not some half-assed shot to see what I can do and try to make the NFL," Lesnar said. "For me, this is balls out, 100 percent.

"And I plan on knocking the snot out of somebody."

[ut_jazz]

thanks for that report taylor, that answered a lot of questions i had.

[g-unit80744]

Does anybody know if Lesnar will be in the NFL games? That would rock if he is.

[REDSFAN2004]

i think it was rave that said if lesnar does make it with a team its possible he could be added to a xboxlive roster update at some point but i could be wrong.

[weasel3000]

broc will be good in the NFl, look how big and fast he is, he is a nutural athlete and he will be able to take down QBS

[ut_jazz]

no matter how good of an athlete you are, you can't just immediately play well at a sport at the professional level of a sport you haven't played in a while.

[g-unit80744]

i think it was rave that said if lesnar does make it with a team its possible he could be added to a xboxlive roster update at some point but i could be wrong.

I would love to play as Brock in NFL game. Brock picks up Warren Sapp and F-5s him to hell! :lol:

[REDSFAN2004]

lmao g-unit that would be some funny stufff if he did make a roster update if he gets with a team and then after he tackles someone he f5s them but that would be a serious penalty and fine or suspension. :lol:

[g-unit80744]

lmao g-unit that would be some funny stufff if he did make a roster update if he gets with a team and then after he tackles someone he f5s them but that would be a serious penalty and fine or suspension. :lol:

He might acually do that. He has a temper and a bad attitude. And hes bangin Sable everynight. :lol:

[REDSFAN2004]

lmao thats so true g but yet funny too. :lol:

[g-unit80744]

lmao thats so true g but yet funny too. :lol:

Hes also a baby. I mean come on he was getting a good amount of money in WWE and would have been a Hall of Famer.

[dinoz]

well i can seem him play in the NFL because Bill Goldberg played for the Atlanta Falcons for a year or so.

[The_Menace]

He might acually do that. He has a temper and a bad attitude. And hes bangin Sable everynight. :lol:

Is he really? I haven't watched wrestling since in 2 to 3 yrs now.. i was a big fan of it when i was in my younger days...but dayum i bet he's tearin' that up because i would :P

[J-Rob7]

Lesnar won't succeed in the NFL as far as I'm concerned. I doubt he'll stick with it to the point where he'll accomplish anything great. Here it is, training camp time, and he's teamless. Anyone who does sign him will stick him on the practice squad at best.

I can't believe he didn't realise he was handed what could have been one of the most storied WWE careers, hands down. Who gets the strap that quick!? When he does return to the WWE, he'll be a heel for life, that's for sure.

[g-unit80744]

and he just signed with the Vikings. If Lesnar went back to WWE that would make wrestling so much greater. Hey I dont know about you but im getting Lesnars jersey.

[REDSFAN2004]

i dont think his jersey will sell all that good but what do i know.

[g-unit80744]

i dont think his jersey will sell all that good but what do i know.

I wouldn't mind being the only one having Lesnars jersey.

[REDSFAN2004]

you just might be the only one wearing his jersey if he even makes the team.

[g-unit80744]

you just might be the only one wearing his jersey if he even makes the team.

That would be cool though. Being the only person to wear the jersey.

[REDSFAN2004]

personally im pulling for brock to make the vikings and if he does i wish him the best of luck in the nfl.brock was one of my favorite wrestlers when he was wrestling though.

[DaVePrOpHeT]

As a 15 year viking fan this has potential of being pretty cool. If he makes the team I'll get his jersey even though he'll most likely be a back up. The only chance he has of starting is if Min. can't sign there first round pick Udezi. Minnesota has to many good D linemen otherwise.

Oh yeah....I hope he F5's Brett Farve...that would be awesome.

lol that would be sick. I guess there will be two people wear Lesnars jersey.

[REDSFAN2004]

if brock wants thrown out the league for the f5 then ok do it but i dont think hes that stupid or maybe he is we will just have to wait and see.

[g-unit80744]

if brock wants thrown out the league for the f5 then ok do it but i dont think hes that stupid or maybe he is we will just have to wait and see.

Do you think he could take Sapp on?

[REDSFAN2004]

he might be able to who knows it would be interesting to see if he could get sapps big a s s in the air though.

[native1]

He has signed with the Vikings and Chris Hovan is going to be his mentor, he will be playing the same position. Coach Tice said this is a project with a capital P. Another team that was looking at him was the Ravens, that was until he hurt his groin in a motorcycle accident.

[REDSFAN2004]

if brock by any means happens to make the vikings roster i will support him since he was one of my favorite wrestlers but im not to sure i could wear a purple jersey though.

[REDSFAN2004]

brock lesnar is wearing the jersey#69 if that number stays if he makes the team i will definately get his jersey.i found this out on wrestlingexposed.com

[DubR8der]

I would wear a lesnar jersey too, I wish him all the luck in the world. If he succeeds I could also shut a lot of people in my office up! I've been saying he was gonna get signed by MIN for a while and everyone kept laughin...hahahahaha :shock:

[g-unit80744]

[PurplePeopleEater05]

if brock by any means happens to make the vikings roster i will support him since he was one of my favorite wrestlers but im not to sure i could wear a purple jersey though. Buy the white jersey. :wink:

[REDSFAN2004]

[g-unit80744]

Fo Sho lol

[jmoch082292]

Ok this is to everyone who thinks he will be "The Next Big Bust" I was watching sportscenter 2day and they had the vikings scrimmage on for a lil and Lesnar kept pancakin the lineman it was funny and a 4.6 dt is freaky and ig he can bench 400+ and squat 600+ i think he will make it :roll:

[REDSFAN2004]

he just might make it who knows.the only people that know are the coaches and brock himself when they give him the news after camp.

[REDSFAN2004]

brock started a huge fight in the vikings 1st scrimmage against the chiefs today by slamming brock huard to the ground.i found this out on wrestlingexposed.com if anyone else wants to read up on it.

[Pointguard13]

LOL...yeah i saw it on sportscenter..he DEF learned that from the wrestling he's done....lol

[REDSFAN2004]

if i actually would sit and watch sportscenter i might actually see this stuff but im just really not interested in all the baseball highlights they show im so ready for some football. :D

[REDSFAN2004]

brock got cut by the vikings today hes said he wants to continue his nfl dream though whether it be nfl europe or the vikings practice squad.i knew about him getting cut while watching espnnews but all the other stuff is taken from wrestlingexposed.com.

[ut_jazz]

:shock:, prolly really misses wrestling by now. you think he'll actually go to europe?

[REDSFAN2004]

from what i read off that site jazz he seems to still wanna play so it wouldnt surprise me if he went to play in europe but if he doesnt i have a weird feeling sooner or later he will pop up in wwe again but i could be wrong who knows only time will tell.

[ambrosio4]

I'm glad this thread will finally be done, and people will finally realize it takes more then size and strength to make it in the NFL. The likelihood of him making it, is probably the same as Ray Lewis making the Olympic wrestling team. The tools might be there, and some high school background (i understand he set his own records), but it takes skills developed through experience to compete at the highest level. In any case, NFL teams "usually" save their NFL Europe roster spots for players in the second cut. I think he can go, but he might not be affiliated with a team.

[Mr.Clean]

tru, i herd they moved him to nose guard kus he had problems remembering the plays

[steelerpsycho1982]

brock was on a roster for the preseason but was cut like 3 days ago. Sorry, boys and girls no brock in the NFL.
