DISCUSSION - Is it possible for Brock Lesnar to be used in the same way as The Rock?

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.

A few questions:

1) If Lesnar's attempt to make the NFL doesn't pan out, do you think he'll come back to the WWE?

2) If Lesnar comes back to the WWE, would Raw or Smackdown be his destination? One of Lesnar's final motivations in leaving the WWE, was that he had achieved everything. Would RAW give him a new goal and brand new motivation? He has NEVER feuded with the likes of Jericho, Edge, Benoit, Triple H, and Shawn Michaels.

1) Yeah I would think so. He might take some time off, so maybe he wouldn't be back till say Summerslam 05, but yeah if the football thing doesn't work he'll need a payday,a nd Vince will welcome him back with open arms.

2) I dont think going to RAW would change anything for him, if anything it would be worse because he doesn't like politics and HHH is the master at that. However there would be some fresher matches for him on RAW. On SD he could still do a program with Eddie (saying Eddie never beat him fairly), also a feud with Cena could be really beneficial. But that said, who knows what SD and RAW will look like by then, so its hard to predict right now.
