Wow...get well soon Brock...I always liked ya! Except when you beat Kurt at WM19...but it was a damn fine match and you returned the favor after he came back. Plus your little heel speech at UFC 100 was AMAZING. Seriously...he's probably the prime example of what you'd want out of a wrestler and an entertainer...I hope this isn't serious.

Some people don't realize how bad Mono can be if you get it later in life, one guy I know got it in his late 20's and had it for 2 YEARS. I hope Brock gets better, that's the main thing...if it is Mono, it could very well end his UFC career, which is fine as long as he recovers...he just had a new kid not too long ago too.

How do you figure he was sandbagging? WWE didn't even have any real long term goals planned for him after the Goldberg feud, they wanted to pit him up against Holly again and Lesnar refused. He was also bothered by time constraints with family, since he had a small daughter at the time.

Yes, I know he basically pissed away a great future with WWE, but he wanted to try the NFL thing, which was stupid...but it was his choice. He tried to return to WWE after that failed and they didn't want him. Consider that Goldberg match to be a joint effort with all parties involved not giving a fuck; Lesnar, Goldberg, Austin, WWE, the fans...no one gave a shit by that point.

While I agree with his tattoos...you have to be fucking INSANE to say he couldn't wrestle.

He was damn imposing, and always looked intense in the ring. Just hitting that F-5...you knew you were fucked...not to mention the triple powerbomb...he was just an absolute animal. Was he pushed too quickly? Some might argue yes, but it worked. Every feud he was in, felt real, his HIAC match with Undertaker was fucking epic. I didn't like him very much as a face, but it was temporary and he had a pretty good program with Angle, outside of the botched SSP.

Yes, he was a complete hoss, but he was intimidating on every level. The crowd marked HUGE for him as well.

As far as big muscley guys, he was better than;

Goldberg
Batista
Scott Steiner

He helped shape Smackdown into the better show, while Raw dealt with pose downs and necrophilia.

Steiner was great in WCW, Steiner is good in TNA...Steiner's 2002-03 run in WWE SUCKED. The guy can hardly work, he was great back when he wore a singlet and mullet, but after abusing his body with steroids, he can barely move nowadays. And yes, I love Steiner based soley on this:


Sorry about the poor sound....you might need to turn it up

But come on man, you can't possibly believe that Lesnar was boring to watch. I can understand if you didn't like who he was, but he had some really good matches with people.

While I see what you're saying, at least Steiner got a title feud going. DDP really got fucked over. The ovation he got when he appeared on Raw was huge. I'll never understand why they didn't use him better, because he was damn good and one of the best all around performers in the business. Kronik put on one of the worst matches ever, when they were told they were going to be sent to developmental, they quit. Kanyon always sucked in my eyes...I can't take that guy seriously at all, especially after his ridiculous shoot video came out. When Steiner came to WWE in 2002, his body was very broken down at that point, he served no purpose being in the title picture and put on some of the worst matches I've ever seen (Royal Rumble 2003).

Yeah...believe me...it's sandbagging across the entire board as far as everyone involved...the fans were fucking PISSED before the match even started...the match was placed on the card pretty poorly and WWE fucked it up by not getting Brock or Goldberg to agree on a contract months before their contracts expired...a BIG no no to pit 2 people together who essentially don't HAVE to give a fuck if they don't want to.

Yeah, I remember HATING Nowinski when he was in Tough Enough, I was pulling for Josh. Maven won, which was fine, until they started pushing him RIGHT AWAY. Completely killed any chances that Maven had to make it big. Nowinski was really good when he was brought it, except for the infamous Jackie Gayda match. It's a real shame he had that concussion problem. His work on the Benoit concussion theory was excellent as well, which is why WWE had to let him go.

He is still employed by the WWE just not in a wrestling fashion.

He did promotional work for them, but after the the Benoit thing, he did a LOT of work with athletes who suffered head injuries. He might still be under contract, but I don't think he does anything for them anymore. Basically, he spends his days advocating concussion awareness.
