Brock Lesnar Discussion Thread.

[seabs]

LOL he has no ties though. He has no other career so VKM could've played it so min that I would have have 2 PPV's in 4 and 1 RAW in 4. He's a draw but nothing without WWE! Sorry Brock!

He was a monster draw in the UFC.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

More importantly, how is he going to be used? He's not the heel.

Seems apparent he will be going after Cena as a face/face confrontation same as Cena/Rock. It will either wind up turning Cena heel eventually, or he will just rise above the hate yet again.

Yea Brock sold more PPVs than anyone in UFC History.

The reason he left WWE was mainly the schedule. Like I said, every other RAW, or something. When he's not there it'll be a Cena speech. He'll become really active for Summerslam. Who cares, he's back!!

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

Who cares he's back is my stance as well.

ADR is back as well.. dare I say WWE is on an upswing? Wouldn't want to jinx it and/or freak anyone out with my optimism

If I remember from his book he hated the constant travelling especially with house shows so take them out and he could work every Raw imo. Just fly out on the Saturday stay until Tuesday then he has 3 days off before traveling again dependant on where they are.

VKM could have him on anything will be more active than Rock though.

It doesn't matter if he was shit, he was a huge draw for the UFC.

He wasn't shit in my opinion, he was champion in dominant style in his like first year? Normally it takes guys years to accumulate a style to contend with the best fighters in the world. He's a badass dude Brock. Also, he was getting $400,000 per fight in UFC reportedly, and drew hundreds of thousands of buys in their PPV's. He, is as big as The Rock in terms of a draw. He'll be treated as such don't worry.

yeah due to WWE and he couldn't fight so imagine his draw in WWE?

Now after the big return

Shit in the UFC? Let me straighten you out brother.

He was the fucking UFC Heavyweight Champion. His ascend to the top of UFC/MMA in general was unlike anything the sport had ever seen. He beat a handful of top fighters including one of the all time greats Randy Couture to win the belt. He lost to Velasquez and Overeem, two top 3 HWs in the world, and retired. He had an intestinal infection/surgery that no athlete has ever recovered fully from. If not for the injuries/disease no telling how his UFC career would have turned out, but even with it he was far from 'shit'

True WWE made him a star, but Brock (like Rock) took that, and made quadrupled it. Brock had a massive WWE fan base, now he has a massive UFC fan base, which is more popular to casuals in the world as wrestling isn't cool anymore. He is arguably a bigger draw than Rock.

Not sure why the thread has gone that way lol. Brock will be limited, there's no doubt about that. He'll appear next week though.

Brock was never a huge WWE draw, he drew in MMA after he flipped off the crowd because people wanted to see the arrogant guy who had everything ( the title and ability) knocked down a peg. He was an MMA heel.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

He was also a big MMA draw from the start because hardcore MMA fans were at war with casual MMA fans who loved Brock. They didn't want to see a professional wrestler having success in their sport.

The Mir/Lesnar II fight was the epitome of this. I watched the fight with a ton of people who had never cared about MMA a day in their life and just wanted to watch Brock. So many hardcore MMA fans wanted Mir to beat Lesnar. I'm pretty sure that was the most bought card in UFC history (to be fair GSP was also no the card)

After watcing it about fifty billion times on YouTube, I'm convinced Brock will do something similar to Kane. Perhaps refer back to when Cena used to call out Brock, remember? Cena was pretty "tough" then, and then him kicking the hat towards the end made me feel he thinks John has grown "weaker".

Not sure, just a theory. He's not a heel here though and I'm convinced he'll be the megastar to turn Cena.
