Wrestling bashers please stay out of this thread if you don't like the subject
As we reported earlier, Brock Lesnar announced yesterday that he will be leaving WWE after his final match for the company this Sunday at WrestleMania. Lesnar was said to have stood up infront of all the Smackdown! Talent yesterday at the pre-show talent meeting where he announced the news of his departure from the company and the fact that he would like to pursue a career in the National Football League.
From what we’ve heard, Lesnar informed everyone at the meeting that he was feeling miserable in the business. He said that it wasn’t a reflection on the business, but he personally could not find happiness whilst working for the company.
He publically thanked Vince McMahon, Jim Ross and Gerry Brisco "for finding me in college,". He also made another special thank you to two other members of the Smackdown! Brand who he’d worked with on many occasions - Big Show & Paul Heyman. He also told the crew that he wouldn’t return to the company, and wished everyone well. Lesnar was said to be very emotional at this point.
This shocking announcement was said to bring mix reactions from people in the company. Some felt that it opened opportunities for other members of the company where as others felt differently.
No matter which way you look at this shocking news, WWE is losing one of their elite wrestlers. Even though Lesnar has said he wont return to the business, never say never is what I say.

OWCH, that leaves only four main eventers on SMACKDOWN (Eddie, Kurt, The Undertaker, and Rob Van Dam, who is jumping to SMACKDOWN)
