You know, I really can't beleive what Brock is saying. I really was a fan of his, but started to get tired of him after a while. But for Brock to completely bash the WWE, the place that has basically made him a household name, is crap. To say that the WWE didn't appreciate him is really egotistical or hypocritical. He was at the top of the WWE within months of his debut and has been there for nearly two years. If he's saying that, than maybe some people like Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero can say they're not appreciated because they have just now climbed to the top after years of hard work.

I'm interested to know where the writer of the article got his information from. "The reasons appear to be" line lead me to suspect some guy is trying to sum up the Brock Lesnar departure in one article.
My opinion is this. Brock was put in a position that is incredibly enviable. The schedule, travelling and punishment on his body were being compenstated by a great pay-cheque, PPV main event cuts and a fantastic push that NOBODY in WWE has received to that scale since the days of Warrior and Hogan. Brock was made to be a star, a position he took 6 months to ascend to compared to the 18 years it has taken Chris Benoit. For Brock to then decide he doesn't want to do it anymore and show a distanct lack of passion for the business is a slap in the face of all the workers and fans out there who will cut off their right arm to be anywhere close to his position. However, if he didn't want to do it anymore then best of he's gone. It saddened me to some extent, but hopefully this will be a sign of the times that the true work-horses and passionate, deserving superstars get their dues now. Guys on the top of the company need to be able to carry the work-load and should be IN LOVE with the industry. |

Vince is letting him out of his contract though isn't he? Se he's not breaking any laws, and he isn't gonna get the remained of his money. In fact, supposedly he's paying to get out of the contract. So I mean really, whatever.

this should be a lesson to Vince, to slowly bring up the new wrestlers instead of giving them Major Titles right away.

Well, in my rant I did mention that he has legitimate reasons for leaving. If the report is true (which is up in the air at this point), then he could have just kept quiet about reasons 4, 7 and 9. Some guys who are as talentented or moreso *cough*Benoit*cough* have put in nearly 20 years to his 4 before getting to the top. It just makes him sound ungrateful, which is what the fans resent.
I mean, if he wants to leave, fine, but don't be an ass about it. |

I mean, he's shit on the mic, so he had his looks and his skills. Still, as a fan of many people who have been long in the biz with little to show for it, Brock's attiude on the deal was more than a little bit frustrating. Though his attitude has always been a little less than admirable. |

Well, the reasons do make sense. They encompass a lot of areas and do adequately explain his departure for me. He did have an ego, but on the other hand, he earned the right to have a big one, somewhat.
Anyway, I'm rather ambivalent about his departure now. If he makes it in the NFL, good for him. I wouldn't be surprised to see him crawling back to the WWE though. Think of it this way: at least the next HHH has been averted. |

Oh he'll be back.
And he wouldn't be the next Triple-H. Vince has no spare daughters (that we know of). |

I doubt he'll make it in the NFL.
He's kinda risking a lot tho, and that's not too shabby... |

Sorry guys but I gotta say, who really knows that this interview is 100%?
I work in a job where I see what really happens versus the bull reported in the papers/internet every day. LESSON: Don't believe everything you read! Further to that, even if Brock's reasons listed in the interview are real, any one of them would be justification enough for him to leave. Other unlisted reasons could be that he secretly has a crush on HHH's mum, or misses getting butt-f*cked by Spike Dudley on Monday nights after RAW. Whatever the reasons are, they are justification enough for Brock. And on to my next point... Why would Vince publicly announce that the WWE wouldn't have Lesnar back? You're talking about a guy who has that much financial sense, he never lets his pride get in the way of a dollar. (return of hogan ring any bells?) Brock can always come back when it suits both parties, because at the end of the day, he IS better than Bob Holly, A-Train, Steiner or Test. He can have occasionally great matches and is fairly consistent as a performer taken over the 2 years at WWE. (And I'm more than happy to admit the Lesnar v Goldberg match was lamer than a bag full of broken horses) Anyway the point of all this rambling splaff is very simple. The guy wants to play football. Good for you Brock - live your dream! Well done for having the courage to take a risk, and put yourself on the line. Respect. |

Well, I guess if all that's true, at least he didn't stick with Wrestling til he was 50.

Its funny that like 2 months ago there was articles posted on the net saying Brock would hold the title for the next 2 years, constantly feuding for it.
If that bastard HHH wasn't married to steph-a-whore, he would be gone too I bet. |

Some of those reasons are alright, but the stuff about not wanting to drop the title to Eddie...

It is irellevant if he didn't want to or not, he did it, which is more than I can say for a lot of other guys, so we're told.
