Brock Lesnar to return to the WWE? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 06-25-2005, 10:12 PM

In an interview with the Bismarck Tribune, Brock Lesnar humbly admits that he was wrong and immature and asks Vince McMahon for a second chance with WWE because he has no other options.

Here are some quotes from Brock Lesnar:

"The night that I won my (NCAA) championship, this weight was lifted off of me, and I thought, 'This is the greatest feeling ever but the next day when I woke up, I never felt so empty inside, because I didn't know what I was going to do now."

He explained that his decision to sign with WWE was influenced heavily by one factor: "Eighteen years of starving," he said with a laugh. "It was (a difficult decision). It really was. Do I stay in school and finish up and play football, since I had another year of eligibility for the Gophers in another sport? Do I go on and follow my dreams as an Olympic wrestler? I locked myself in the basement of the house that we were living at for a whole month, because I knew the WWE wanted me. I didn't know what to do. I just made that decision. When I was digging in my pockets to chase my buddies out to go grab a beer and a steak, or something, and I was digging deep and there was nothing in them, I said, 'It's time to open a new chapter and see what happens.' "

"I had to go in with an open mind, keep (my mouth) shut and my ears open. They just didn't stick me out in the ring. I trained for a year-and-a-half, every single day. I committed to myself, I committed to Vince McMahon and I wanted to be a pro wrestler. From the day I signed on the dotted line, I turned that switch, and I just wanted to become an entertainer. I got the same feeling out of it as I did as an amateur wrestler."

"I wasn't ready for what (McMahon) had put on my plate (main eventing and the WWE Championship). I couldn't eat it all. I tried to, you know. That's just me being me. He asked me, 'Are you ready for this?' And I just said, 'Bring it on. Let's go.'"

"I wasn't ready to be traveling 300 days a year. I wasn't ready for the money. I wasn't ready for the responsibilities. I wasn't ready to be a father. I wasn't ready to be a husband. I wasn't ready for a lot of things. I had a lot of growing up to do. I was forced to grow up."

"The only regret that I would ever have is not doing something (the NFL). I can tell my grandkids and my kids -- I mean, I might not have made the team. I was on the practice squad, but how many kids from Webster, S.D., have got a football card in a Minnesota Vikings jersey?"

"I'm man enough to admit that I wasn't ready for that either, but I just threw myself in there. There's only one way I know, and that's full throttle and to the wolves."

When football didn't pan out, Lesnar was left without an athletic outlet. To get out of his contract with WWE, he had agreed to a non-compete clause that reportedly lasts until 2010.

He has been embroiled in a lawsuit with WWE trying to break the deal, but on Thursday he shifted gears and opened the door for a settlement and a return to McMahon's group.

"I'm ready for it now...with the lawsuit and everything going on, I just hope we can resolve this thing, and Vince can open his doors to me and just give me a second chance."

"I have no idea (where it stands). I guess it stands on the end of your pencil, when it gets on the Internet. That's probably where he'll catch the news. It's either that or me calling him. But I don't know what else I'd be. What else is there for me?"

If he does come back I would like to see him on Raw and maybe start a feud with Batista.

Yeah that would be awesome...

The WWE does not need Lesnar, I never really saw anything in him, he was just a big goofy looking average guy. His mic skills were very unimpressive, his look was just kind of plain and not really that exciting. Plus his ring skills were sub-par. He got pushed way too soon.

Brad Russ · 06-27-2005, 09:40 AM

I hope Vince lets him come back before 2010. I don't blame him for trying out for the NFL. I think anyone would have done the same thing, had they had an opportunity to play in the NFL. I know I would have. Hopefully Vince will see that, and give him another chance. Everyone deserves a second chance.

True True.I'd like for him to feud with Matt Morgan because he's using the F5 as well

I wholeheartedly disagree. Brock is a very talented wrestler. He sucks on the mic, but overall can wrestle a very good match.

Lesnar never entertained me once during the two years he was part of the WWE. He was just very very bland. His look was terrible, his gear sucked, his ring work was ok, but it was not spectacular. He looked like he should have been more in a bodyguard role similiar to Tyson Tomko or Matt Morgan, rather than main-eventing. He added nothing to the WWE and if he returns, he should be in the mid-card field and should not even come close to main-eventing.

I'll agree that if he returns, he shouldn't be main eventing right away. He needs to prove himself again. As far as his look and ability, I don't see too many 300 pounders doing a shooting star press. He is very talented.

Brock is gonna have to show me more than F5 -ing the Big Show all the time.

Chad22 · 06-28-2005, 07:28 PM

Brock was a VERY Talented wrestler, And he was better than Batista in every way. He was also getting alot better on the mic in his last few months.

The only problem I Had with him was he was pushed way too fast. Hes already had 3 WWE Title reigns, He won the Royal Rumble, He won The King Of The Ring. They'res really not much left for him to accomplish. But either way, I'd love to see him back.

Brock hasnt faced HHH yet. I would like to see that match.

That's not true.WHen WWE went to Australia,there was a Triple Threat Match for the Undisputed Championship.The ROck vs. Brock Lesnar vs. HHH.They all did their finishing moves to each other The Rock gave The People's Elbow to Lesnar and ROck Bottomed HHH(which is how he won the match),Brock Lesnar F-5ed both Rock & HHH,HHH pedigreed The ROck & Brock Lesnar

For some reason they had Lesnar kick out of both The People's Elbow and The Pedigree
