Brock Lesnar Is Leaving WWE

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)

You sure about RVD? They seem to be setting him and Booker up to be a team for a while....why, they have music together, that's like picking out curtains...

There might be a chance Booker will join him, SMACKDOWN is starved for talent so anything from RAW will do as long as they are talented.

Well good, I hate Brock Lesnar. I hope someone new gets pushed up in to the main event in his place.

Well, this sucks, Brock was one of the better talents to come up in the last few years. Apparently, he's quitting because he was going to get fed to Taker after WM so Taker can go on to get his annual main event push that hasn't worked in years. Frankly, I say good for Brock. Vince booked himself into a corner, as most of the SD! talent are still trying to build themselves up, and having Dead Man Taker come back just to go over them all again would kill them all (no pun intended) Hopefully, this will wake Vince up and he'll get his head on straight and start doing what's right for business instead of what entertains him.

And with Edge all but confirmed for heading to Raw, Smackdown better start pushing new people or getting some decent people from raw. And Taker should just retire, I never want to see his no-jobbing, no-selling ass on my TV ever again after WMXX.
