If he can strike (which apparently he can) and can defend submissions (we'll soon find out) then he very well might skyrocket to the top of the UFC.

Hey, does anyone remember when Brock Lesnar said he wanted to kill internet wrestling fans? The people that write, read, and talk about the "dirt sheets"? Yea, and people miss the man who gave out empty death threats....

But on a sightly more serious note, Lesnar was only as good as who he was in the ring with. He couldn't carry a match by himself but if someone else held his hand during a match Lesnar looked great.
There are some guys who can have a match with a box of rocks and make it look good. Angle, HBK, Brian Kendrick, Shelton, The Undertaker, Ric Flair in his prime... Brock is not one of these guys.

Okay, I'll give you a point for the Big Show, but The Big Show is a solid worker who can work with a lot of people even though he's a freakin' giant.

But Albert.. If by carry you mean "dropped on his head" then yea, he did that. It's on one of the botchamania videos.
Let's not forget his shooting star press on Angle
Or breaking Holly's neck

Now every wrestler makes mistakes, sometimes it happens at the worst times like the biggest events, but looking at how long Brock was wrestling on TV and how many mistakes he made..... we have a pretty high ratio there.

HeartBreakMan2k
01-25-2008, 04:02 PM
That isn't a very hgih ratio, yeah he fucked up the F5, he did the right thing with the shooting star, he could have dropped down but that would have fucked up the flow of the match, he went for it and it was too far. Long run it made the match better. And Holly dead weighted Brock to TRY and make Brock look bad after being stiff with him the entire match, Brock said fuck it and let him go.

You have two botches. ANd the point still stands his matches with all THREE men who aren't extremely talented were very good.

Shelton fucks up a lot because he takes a lot of risks. Shelton is a well rounded wrestler who is good in the mic that doesn't need to take the risks and hit the high spots. He takes the risks and hits the high spots because he's the goddamn man.

HeartBreakMan2k

Aw fuck off. You bring up Brock botching his Shooting Star yet justify Shelton botching for taking "risk"? Are you FUCKING SERIOUS!?! Shelton has botched a pivotal move in every "big" match situation he has ever been in. And I'm saying this actually while LIKING Shelton, but facts are facts - he's not on Brock's level.

HeartBreakMan2k
01-25-2008, 04:13 PM

Agreed, 8 minutes come from watching the diva's match (I'm sorry, Mickie and Victoria put on better matches than most the men) and the extra 5 minutes come from sitting through Satino segments and matches in order to look at the hotness of Maria.

How do you say that word? Law-Jik? That's funny! :rofl:

Whatever, I just didn't like Lesnar in or out of the ring. He was pushed too hard, too fast, forced down our pikes like there was no tomorrow. Yea, he had a great build, and could tell a story in the ring. As a heel he could have people go over him and still look good because he was a monster. As a face he was able to allow heels to do what they need to win and then get his revenge.
Lesnar wasn't all bad, and he didn't botch is up quite like Lita. If the WWE would have taken time to build him up, maybe hold the IC or Hardcore title, before he was in the ring with The Undertaker, Kurt Angle, The Big Show, and John Cena I'd buy into Lesnar more.

Avenger
01-25-2008, 08:33 PM
The reason people think that more technical wrestlers carried Brock is that he was never able to fully show us every aspect of his wrestling talent. His character was a powerhouse wrestling machine and that is how he wrestled. He had so much more than we ever really saw, we only ever saw glimpses of what he really had.

And he carried Show to some very memorable matches that I still remember vividly.

Mr. JL
01-25-2008, 09:27 PM

I don't believe Lesnar is a complete joke, but the guy he is fighting is the former UFC Heavyweight Champion with year's of fighting under his belt. This will only be Lesnar's second MMA fight. And given Dana White and his matchmakers booking style, it won't seem like Lesnar will get any tune up matches nor will he fight any guys with his simular experience level.

So, Lesnar is jumping in there right off the bat with some of the most experienced and accomplished MMA fighters in the world. So its not difficult to foresee why his future in MMA does not look so promising.

Exactly. It's not like he said "You're being a dick to me, so I get to injure you."

Holly tried to make Lesnar look bad. Lesnar managed to pull off the move anyway. Fourfifty is just reaching for reasons to justify his hatred of Lesnar.

Brock Lesnar has a lot of hype surrounding him going in the UFC; there's no doubting that. He does have a lot to prove, coming from a "fake" sport, as a winner of "fake championships," and with one win over a man who no one considers near the top of the card in today's MMA landscape.

But Brock is a born competitor, he's just an incredible natural athlete. He's a former NCAA wrestling champion, and its a pattern in MMA that great amateur wrestlers make great mixed martial artists.

Lesnar's UFC career is more promising than just about any other young fighter's in that company right now. If Brock can go in there and do what we all know he can do, and be as aggressive, and powerful, and show the stamina we've all seen before, he is going to dominate the UFC heavyweight division. Frank Mir is going to get beaten down.

The Gold Standard
01-26-2008, 01:36 AM
I miss Brock a lot. I can't wait to see his debut in UFC. I think he is going to mess up Mir. With his strength and wrestling ability he could be a dominant force in the UFC for a long time to come

The Optimist
01-26-2008, 03:49 AM
I really didn't get to see alot of him. He was around in a period when I wasn't really into wrestling. It's a shame, I regret it now.

Mercury Bullet
01-26-2008, 05:21 AM
Alot of the MMA nay-sayers do so strictly because he was a "WWE Superstar". What they don't look at is his real life background. This isn't just a WWE Superstar. This isn't, say, Steve Austin jumping to MMA for a publicity stunt or something. Lesnar is a 4-Time NCAA Champion. He has a better amateur wrestling background than any heavyweight currently under contract with the UFC. So even though I was never a fan of his time in WWE, I hope he goes in and kicks some ass in "real" fighting to shut some people up.

The Optimist
01-26-2008, 05:39 AM
He has a better amatuer wrestling backround than anyone ever, baring an argument for a few other people.

Personally, I hope he does well too but he has a ton of obstacles to overcome.

Side Note.

Brock transitioned into the F-5 from so many different things.

The best was when we reversed the tombstone, then flipped him from the tombstone to a front slam posistion, then threw the Taker up over his head for the F-5 in the Hell in a Cell Match.

I'm sorry, his matches were masterpieces, next you're going to claim Shawn Michaels isnt the greatest wrestler ever.

Xero
01-26-2008, 01:36 PM
Well, I will claim that Michaels isn't.

Because Kurt Angle is.

Destor
01-26-2008, 01:36 PM
He actully had several master peices, yeah. And saying "OMG he no sold the last ryde cuz he f-5 him after, he haz no sykolgie!!!111!!' is dumb. Have you ever seen Wrestle Mania 17? The last five minutes of the main event Austin and Rock traded finishers, thats not bad psychology.

IC Champion
01-26-2008, 01:37 PM
Who hasn't, and I forgot that was the only time he no-sold.

Destor
01-26-2008, 01:38 PM
Thinking a finisher is the end all be all is.

That was a pretty hefty spot to be entirely Brock's fault. Pretty sure that was a question of overall psychology, and not just a "Brock can't work a match" thing.



Also, maybe I'm retarded, but wouldn't that stumbling and blind, desperate flailing count as selling...? Up until the mandatory last-second "adrenaline rush", of course...?

IC Champion

Oh, you mean the guy who's been wrestling the same match, with the same finishes for the last 2 years is?

I mean, maybe you'd have booked Taker as just spontaneously collapsing so Brock could pin him, but he had to get the fucking turnaround somehow or the match would have to end differently.

Destor
01-26-2008, 01:42 PM
How do you figure that one IC?

IC Champion
01-26-2008, 01:44 PM
Angle has a total of 2, maybe 3 finishes that he uses.

Xero

Angle has a total of 2, maybe 3 finishes that he uses.

Gets beat down - kick out - whipped - flying elbow block - Kip Up - Sweet Chin Music miss - goes for finisher - reversal - SCM.

Sometimes spice it up with a Sharpshooter or Crossface and you have 85% of Shawn Michaels finishes.

Destor
01-26-2008, 01:47 PM
thats why they're called finishers. You know, moves that the guy tries to end a match with. hell that's two more than most American wrestlers. It's not about the move, it's the chain of events leading up to the move.

Destor
01-26-2008, 01:48 PM
And as Xero pointed out, HBKs trasition are WAY more predicable.

IC Champion

And that's why Brock sucked, he gets the last ride, suddenly he can reserve a tombstone, throw Taker onto his shoulders than hit the F-5, while showing no ill affects what so ever from the match he had. Brock sucked because he didn't know what ring physcology is.

But doesn't that rationale contradict the endings of most big main event matches? Like what Destor already brought up about Wrestlemania seventeen

LOL Brock Lesnar has no psychology because he played the part of a monster...That's right up there with "People changing the channel proves how good a heel Triple H is."

I don't see anything wrong with the "suck-it-up" F5 that Lesnar gave to Taker in HIAC. IMO the finish was booked as Lesnar's last gasp of energy to put down Taker, and then he sold the match when the bell rang.

If you were to say that Lesnar no-sold when he muscled Taker up, then what do you call HBK's bursts of energy and then goes on to deliver SCM no matter what body part was being worked on?

It's not like he was Tombstoned, kicked out at 1, sprinted at Taker, and tossed him up on his shoulders for the finish.

Look, Lesnar was very carryable. He needed some one to bring him to a 5 star match, but it didn't take much to do it. He had plenty of tools, but by himself, he kinda sucked.

Kane Knight
01-27-2008, 12:19 PM

Xero

I'm still right. Lesnar sucks. Shawn Michaels never repeats a spot. No-selling is the anti-psychology.

IC Champion
01-27-2008, 02:56 PM
I never said any such of those words, Lesnar just sucked, I couldn't help it.

IC Champion
01-27-2008, 02:57 PM
And yes, no-selling for the most part is anti-physcology, with a few exceptions.

Xero
01-27-2008, 03:06 PM

And guess what? That was one of the exceptions.

Unless it's part of the gimmick itself or part of the story of the match, no, no-selling every move is going to look like shit. The fact is Lesnar sold it after the fact as if he was blown up to an extent, and that's what makes it viable.

On the other side of this argument, over-selling every move is going to make it look like shit, too, like Rock always used to do. If you think no-selling is terrible surely you must think over-selling is.

IC Champion
01-27-2008, 03:08 PM
Im going to be honest, I watched the spot and that was it, but was that the only time he "no-sold"?

IC Champion
01-27-2008, 03:10 PM
Also, The Rock brought ALOT more to the table than a Lesnar did, charisma, personality, humor, mic skills, and IMO Rock was an underrated worker, sure he over sold a stunner or two, but I'd rather see someone over reacted than not re-act at all, just my opinion.

Xero
01-27-2008, 03:11 PM
Of course not. He was a monster, no-selling is part of the base gimmick. On top of that, he was pushed as a physical specimen, giving him the ability to have bursts of energy like he did there. You show me someone in the monster gimmick who doesn't no-sell once in a while.

Rock over-sold a lot more than Lesnar ever under-sold.

IC Champion
01-27-2008, 03:14 PM
Lesnar was better than your average mid carder, but he wasnt a great wrestler or worker, and the fact that he had no charisma, personality, or mic skills really hurt him. Now if he was an amazing worker who could have a great match with a box of nails than yeah, he would have been watchable, but really he was only average. The only thing he brought was intensity.

Taker is someone who could no-sell, just because Brock is juiced to the gills means he can no sell? Now if his sudden burst of energy was because of Roid Rage than fine, but being a 300 lb muscle head doesnt make you a monster.

The moment you claim Lesnar has no charisma my desire to argue has totally gone away.

this arguement is now a joke.

IC Champion
01-27-2008, 03:28 PM
Yeah, he was loaded with charisma, go wrestle a spot fest in front 30 people.

IC Champion
01-27-2008, 03:29 PM
Though I wouldn't expect a meth head to know what charisma is.

Destor

This comes from a guy who says a counter after a big move is poor psycology.

Yeah, you know so much.

I didn't say he had poor physcology because of that one match, Id be stupid to assume that, but Lesnar was the total package, charisma, physcology, work rate, hell next you're going to say he cut the greatest promos of his time.

Destor
01-27-2008, 03:42 PM
Nah, the guy couldn't cut a promo to save his life.

He has a better amatuer wrestling backround than anyone ever, baring an argument for a few other people.

Let's just say you meant to limit this to pro wrestling or MMA (or else it's total nonsense). Kurt Angle is an Olympic Gold medalist. Matt Lindland is an Olympic Silver medalist.

Just those two alone are leagues ahead of him. It's not barring any arguement either because there isn't one.

Then what makes you a monster able to take large amounts of punishment?

So only a Zombie can take a whipping and turn around and beat some ass?

If anyone could take it from the UT and then fight back, a 300 pound meat head seems like the perfect candidate.
