[DF2003]

i think he's trying out.... doubt he'll make it.

[LORDBLiTZ]

He quit WWE!!!

[Money Boss Hustla]

Lesnar stood up in front of the entire room at the Smackdown pre-show meeting and announced he was leaving WWE to pursue a career in the National Football League.

I read he was trying out with the Vikings.

[IronCy]

what position? has he ever played football before?
-Cy

[ItalianMuscle]

WOW.. What position ?

[Mr. Death]

More than likely both Lesnar and Goldberg are gone after Wrestlemania. I wonder what they are going to do about the belt?

[Ammar]

I would imagine him playing defensive line or something like that. Maybe even fullback...

[TOMMY-GUNN]

i agree with d line.....lesner is huge....obviosuly agile from his ncaa heav wieght wrestlin chapionship....if he does sign ill be interested in seein his progession forsh

[DF2003]

More than likely both Lesnar and Goldberg are gone after Wrestlemania. I wonder what they are going to do about the belt?

[ross3814]

i doubt lesnar will make it in the NFL. the NFL is a place for serious talent, not roided actors.

[SwoleCat]

Exactly.

~SC~

[Mr. Death]

i doubt lesnar will make it in the NFL. the NFL is a place for serious talent, not roided actors.

Yep. It doesn't matter how big, strong, and fast you are. You have to have talent and experience. If Brock was good enough to be in the NFL he would already be there.

[Ammar]

I also doubt how successful he will be in the NFL. Plus you know people are gonna go after him HARDCORE because of who he is...

[Animal Cracker]

i doubt lesnar will make it in the NFL. the NFL is a place for serious talent, not roided actors.

WELL SAID! This guy needs to stay in the WWE.

[groverman1]

More than likely you wont see Lesnar play one down.

[Money Boss Hustla]

I have been told that it's all a work! Anything for people to buy WM XX.

[jon rock]

Brock lesner really needs to do some standing calf raises

[Ammar]

Dude, dont hate on his physique. Its not bodybuilder quality at all but he has a good ass physique. I would take what he has over what I have currently...Plus being tall has its disadvantages when it comes to bodybuilding.

[ross3814]

yea... i def wouldn't dog his physique dude... he is jacked! but what i'm saying is that jus because he's big dosen't mean he can hang with world class athletes.

[RP7]

Nevertheless, he'd sell a lot of football jerseys.

[Superhuman]

haha... if he did make it though, I could see him at D-End, maybe Full Back

[daman1]

Brock Lesnar is introduced as the “Next Big Thing in the NFL”. Mike Morris asked about jumping to the NFL and to tell people why he decided to do so. Lesnar said growing up in Minnesota it was something he always wanted to do. He said he had a wonderful three years in WWE and was always kept happy but recently grew unhappy. Went on to say that he always wanted to play football, got college offers going out of high school, right now he wants to try and make it in the NFL.

He said he’s 6-foot 4-inches tall and 289-punds, people ask “why walk away from Vince McMahon, making all that money?” He said it’s just about being happy. He is 26-years-old now and doesn’t want be 40-years old and wondering if he could have made in football. “I’m not saying I may never go back there someday,” said Lesnar. But, right now he wants to try out for one team, 100 percent. Being from Minnesota he hopes to try out with the Vikings. Who knows what will happen, he says, if he can’t try out there, then somewhere else. He’s already an accomplished amateur wrestler and sports entertainer.

Mike Morris asked if he notified Vince about being so unhappy. He said yes, he told him he was going to leave about two weeks before WrestleMania and told him about being so unhappy about six months before that. He was just flat out tired with all the traveling. He said not everyone understands the traveling schedule for wrestlers.

One thing he did enjoy was meeting all the people, the good money and entertaining the fans in the ring. He bought an airplane for himself but said that was just an escape coat for him and it didn’t work.

Morris asked about the NFL work, not as much of a bad traveling schedule but has a gruesome 7am to 7pm daily schedule. Brock said he’s always been an athletic guy, used to workouts and isn’t a push over. He’s just asking for the opportunity to try. This is something he wants to do for himself. So when he is 40 or 50-years old he can say he had the balls to walk away from a multi-million dollar contract and try this out.

Kelly asked about being tested, she wanted to know if there was any worrying about passing a chemical test with the steroid problem in wrestling, “is that a concern?” Brock said that’s not going to hinder him one bit, he has been taking drug tests since High School. “I'm just a white boy from South Dakota blessed by God to be as big as I am,” he said. “Drug tests aren’t the issue, the only issue is to see if I can be a football player.” He went on to say that this has been his dream since being a kid. Wrestling was always a secondary sport and even though he was better at football and did better there, he only excelled in wrestling.

He was asked about what position he wanted to play. He said he was open for anything. His next step is to take a couple days off to spend some time with his daughter, then fly down to tryouts with his agent “Big” John Wolf. He might be away from home still but he will sacrifice that for this opportunity. He said he wants to play on defense for sure, but he can do anything, he isn’t too slow and isn’t weak, so he’ll see what happens.

He was asked if he was a decorated player in High School. He said he made all state, but was injured in his senior year and couldn’t play at the beginning, but was moved to being a Fullback later that year.

A caller asked if he would consider going to the Canadian Football League or playing in Europe before going on into the NFL. He said that he highly doubts that, he will try to excel here in the U.S. Morris said that pretty much anyone and everyone is tested. It doesn’t matter if you’re from college or WWE.

Brock then talked about having the experience. He said there are a lot of guys, especially wrestlers, who go into the NFL without professional experience. He mentioned Stephen Neal from the New England Patriots and how he did that exact thing. Mike mentioned some other names that did the same thing, from being NCAA wrestlers to being NFL players. Brock said he just doesn’t want to be unhappy anymore, he knows a lot of people in wrestling who are so unhappy.

Kelly asked if he would consider going back to wrestling. Brock said he has been disappointed there, “I’m walking away from the wrestling business for now,” he said.

One of the other guys from the show pointed out how he isn’t the same Brock from last year, he appears to be more down, rather than that excited, up-beat Brock Lesnar. Brock said he has enjoyed his time working for Vince McMahon and WWE but right now its time to see if he can do something for himself.

Mike Morris thanks him for calling in for the interview and everyone says good bye. End of interview. Morris went on to say, “Here’s a guy walking away from a 7 or 9 million dollar contract, but what a guy to walk away to play football.”

[Ammar]

Thanks for that post MBH...I hope he makes a team somewhere. Like people said above, he would at least sell jerseys and put people in seats for a while.

COME TO THE LIONS BROCK!!!!

I doubt he would increase attendance. People dont go to football to see freaks (oh wait they do! Kyle Turley comes to mind). And **** the Lions, he should sign with the Pack.

[Phillyboy1]

brock lesnar has THE WORST physique i have seen.

agreed, he looks like a retard, i mean yeah he's big but soo out of proportion, whats up with the traps being his biggest muscle group? and whats up with not having any chest? and his legs are way to small for the rest of him

[bigol'legs]

I think Brock envys Goldberg... wants to do everthing goldberg did..

[El Diablo]

I think Brock envys Goldberg... wants to do everthing goldberg did..

Very possible...Brock did look up to him...but he better get some ****in' wheels on him REAL quick if hes going in NFL...Big Ol maybe YOU should talk to brock about this problem?

[borderbound]

kirk lowdermilk went to ohio state on a wrestling scholarship
half way through college desides to walk on to the football team
10 years later was the center for the vikings and then the colts and at one time the highest paid off . lineman in football

I know next to nothing about brok lesnar but if he was a gifted enough
athlete , with enough focus and drive to be a ncaa champ

then i wouldnt bet against him being able to play football

[palme]

If he dosent make it...will he still go back to wrestling even doh his unhappy? The $$ gotto mean something.

[big daddy k de]

i dont think he ever played ball in HS or colleg ..?
