Its unlikely that Lesnar would suffer a major injury in the ring, but he already has back, neck and rib problems (among others) which could be made worse in the ring. There's no way he would risk even a small injury (which could continue to nag him and become worse throughout the football season) just for the WWE. It wouldn't make sense.

In terms of football taking smarts, dude you need to watch an NFL game before you talk $hit like that. Every position requires a great deal of knowledge, not just about your plays (where to line up, where to move after the sanp, the snap count itself, audibles, etc) but you also have to know what your opponent is likely to do so you can react faster. Lesnar would have to prove he can do that, which takes more than just a great body and being an elite athlete.

Look at it like this, if Warren Sapp decided he wanted to become a pro wrestler, would you say he has a good shot at making it? I mean I know wrestling is different, because you can push him even if he sucks in the ring. But imagine if the only way he could get in the company is if he could wrestle even a mediocre match in the WWE. And lets say Sapp had done some amatuer wrestling in high school, would you say he's got a good chance of making it in the WWE? I doubt it, it would be a long shot, a very long shot.

That said, I think Lesnar has a shot, and I wont be like some other people on here hating on him because they are giant marks, but I think if he were to make it it would be a huge surprise. I wish him luck though.
