I never minded the push as much as I did the lack of respect for the bisnuess. He handled the whole wrestling career the wrong way.

After getting the biggest push in history he says this isn't good enough and goes to play football Not only in America but in Japan as well. He was given the IWGP World title in his first match and refused to drop it. He just walked off. Practically every big star put him over and he won't even drop the title. That is pathetic. I can't stand the man. |

I hate what he did, leaving after getting such a huge push, but I still marked for the guy's tenure in WWE. Yea, he was an idiot for doing what he did. I can't defend him for that. I just try to remember him for his in ring work. But for his short tenure he was AMAZING. He was a great legitimate champion. When he was champion he looked like the best guy on the roster. He was super strong and powerful, but also very technichal and fast, not to mention great at selling. Brock represents whats lacking from the WWE right now, legitimacy. People like Cena and Batista aren't believable, they aren't realistic. Both are aimed at the kids. I particularly hate Batista for his fake Brock impression, plus his stealing of the name "The Animal" which was first used by Cole to describe Brock. They used it all the time. Plus, he has no intensity. I watched my "Here comes the pain" dvd the other night, there are so many mark out moments on there for me. Made me quite sad, Brock was definately my favourite wrestler ever. Heres some videos to make everyone feel better: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XP1Q5W8bA8k - tribute www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItU8glZ9t7I - tribute www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcA-iQPQOjw - many F-5's www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKwl1iSP8Vc - something a bit special |

Agreed with Fortunato 100%.
Lesnar was always one of my favourites back when he was around. unlike so many other big guys, I really thought "wow, that guy's moves look awesome" because he just threw people around like nothing. His title match against Eddie, where he tossed Eddie around for half the match before slowly starting to wear down...super match, one of my favourites matches of the past years.
Also, I though it was really cool that he managed to avoid the "WWE Heel Policy", in other words: be able to win matches cleanly, and not have to cheating ALL THE FREAKIN' TIME like 90% of WWE's top heels.
It's not like Lesnar fans deny his behaviour. Yes, his demands were stupid and things went to his head, but let's face it: He was the top guy of the promotion for quite a while. His push was huge. He was the sort of guy everyone would pay a ticket to watch in the ring.

I lost all respect for him when he stole the IWGP belt, it was such a pretty belt too  |

Strickly kayfabe:
Another reason to hate him is because he was the guy who stopped defending the Undisputed World championship on both brands as required resulting in him being stripped of the WCW/WHC World title (which was then awarded tro #1 contender Hunter Hearst Helmsley) and seperating the titles once again.

I'd go ape scat if his music hit at the Rumble and he walked that aisle. I still want to see Brock vs - Batista
- Chris Benoit
- Triple H
- John Cena
He is, however, the exact reason OVW and DSW are a bad idea. He was signed straight out of college and trained there so he didn't know the toll that wrestling takes on a person. I think if he'd worked the Indies for years (or at all) then things would be extremely different. |

Always been a Lesnar mark, but as has been previously said: he acted like a dick.
Although if he came back, I would have several orgasms.

Really? I mean all hate aside, surely you gotta admit his matches with Kurt alone were excellent.

He was/is a supreme dick... but I still liked watching him right up until 'Mania. That one did a lot of harm to him, IMO, because he half-assed what should've been a huge match. AND that's the one folks will remember.

As much as I hated the way he handled himself in the end, I'd love to see him back, I'd mark out
and to anyone who wants to see Lesnar/Cena, watch Backlash 03

Even with his hilarious, yet trying to be lame mic skills at the end..."GIVE ME....GOLDBERGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!" and shoddy staredown at WM 20 (the match was okay after the staring and grunting stopped), Lesnar was great.
My favorite TV match was Lesnar/Mysterio in late '03 and PPV match was HIAC with 'Taker.

One of my favorite Brock moments was in an early match he had with pre-Evolution Randy Orton. At the end of the match, Orton climbed to the top rope for a cross-body block. He connected cleanly, but in one smooth, seamless motion, Brock just rolled backward with the impact, came to one knee, popped up while still holding Orton in his arms, effortlessly hoisted Orton over his head and destroyed him with an F-5. Absolutely incredible to watch!

I know he's a peice of crap with no respect for the business, but I'd crap my pants about ten times in a row if he came out one night and destroyed Cena. He'd be the perfect foil for good ole JC, the Lex Luthor to Cenas Superman, if you will.

So he's a dick...that feud he had with Benoit in late 2003 was GREAT.
