Yeah, Brock has announced that his match at WrestleMania will be his last. Good, if you ask me.
He bítched about having to job to Taker when he returned, and he also whinged about having to travel to South Africa JUST to face Hardcore Holly. That's pretty crappy if you ask me. Shows how much this rookie-retard respects his collegues.
He told Vince that he wanted to go back to National League Football. Brock in the NFL...pfft.
----------
"As we reported earlier today, Brock Lesnar announced yesterday that his last date for WWE would be at WrestleMania. We have more information on the story and this is definitely one of those situations where truth is stranger than fiction.
Brock Lesnar stood up in front of the Smackdown crew yesterday at the pre-show talent meeting and announced that he was leaving WWE after WrestleMania to pursue a career in the National Football League.
Lesnar, who recently signed a 7-year deal with the WWE, told Vince McMahon of his decision last Tuesday at Smackdown, a meeting we reported on earlier this week. As we said in that story, this situation started coming to a head when Lesnar, who has become burnt out by WWE’s travel schedule (and reportedly also by his recent push down the card from main event status) for some time, was then sent to work on the big South Africa tour but was “only” put into matches with Hardcore Holly instead of higher profile bouts. He met with Vince McMahon last week at Smackdown and voiced his concerns and informed him at that time that he was going to leave WWE.
Lesnar, has also reportedly been upset that he was going to have to put over the Undertaker’s Dead Man character after Mania, and be in a feud with a guy who, by the nature of his character, doesn’t sell for his opponent. This all led up to yesterday’s announcement.
From what our sources have told us, Lesnar informed everyone at the meeting that he was miserable in the business. He said that it was not any reflection on the business per se, but he just couldn't find happiness in the industry any more.
He publicly thanked Vince McMahon, Jim Ross and Gerry Brisco "for finding me in college," and thanked Big Show and Paul Heyman for all their help with his career. He told the crew he wouldn't be back and he was said to be very emotional and wished everyone well.
The announcement was met with mixed reactions from the people in the company that I spoke with. Some felt that it opened up opportunities for the talent. Others, who had been critical of Brock’s “elitist” behavior of late and felt that he hadn’t earned his stripes, let alone deserved to be upset about not being pushed as a main-eventer, told me that now they can understand that he may have been that way because he was unhappy.
No matter how you look at it, WWE is losing one of their top wrestlers, at least for now. I never say never in the business, but at this point in time Lesnar is completely serious about leaving wrestling."

Dunno where that's taken from, but you can find my by if you go to NoDQ.com, or something.

Not really it's just emphasising the fact HHH rules RAW and because of that actual decent wrestlers don't get pushed unless he says so. Moving Booker and RVD over to SD would be great both for SD and the respective wrestlers themselves.

1 ) Hurricane hasn't won for yonks. Do you see him whinging?
2 ) Nathan Jones couldn't handle the schedule and everyone says what a nob he is and all that. Brock can't handle the travelling and everyone kisses his ass. Doesn't seem right to me.

Speaking of the Tough Enough guys, whats happening with them at the moment? Haven't seem them on any of the shows as of yet, but I may be wrong.
'And well done for putting him in matches with Hardcore Holly too. I'm not surprised he's unhappy - he has to make Hardcore Holly look good, then he loses to Eddie Guerrero and now he's supposed to lose to Goldberg and THEN lost to The Undertaker (both of whom are nothing compared to him in terms of ability)?'

I think your forgetting Ant that Brock was very lucky indeed to get the title in the first place when he first came onto the scene.

I probably did.
What an idiot I was back then, too.
A quick search on Google, and this popped up.
“I think it’s important,” Holly responds, “because nowadays, they’ve got guys coming in that take the business for granted that weren’t really wrestling fans.” Tough Enough is an example Bob uses describing the lack of respect some of these young guys have when they come in to the business. “They haven’t paid their dues; they don’t respect the guys that have and they don’t belong where they’re at.”
If someones gunna be WWE superstar, they have to be 100% safe in the ring. I didn't see anyone bítching at Al Snow when he done something similar in one of the series.

Smackdown = Eddie Guerrero
Not Angle. Not Lesnar. EDDIE! Afterall, he is the champ. :P And hopefully he'll remain the champ for plenty of time to come. :)

WWE fans whinge that the Tough Enough guys aren't talented enough to be on Raw and Smackdown, yet you don't like it when Bob teaches them a lesson? I really don't understand that.
How are these rookies gunna learn if they aren't taught the lesson?

Rumour has it now that Goldberg is STAYING with the WWE, and will be on Smackdown.
As for Brock leaving his fiancée Nicole for Sable, rumour was that he done this because they were having personal problems.
Also, he's 26. That doesn't rule him out of a return, if he leaves, of course.
I think it's pretty ignorant to say he put Hardcore Holly over and made him look good.
Bob's a damn good athelete, he loves the business and he's generally a cool guy. I'd rather see Bob main-eventing SD, rather then Lesnar.

Thank god for that. I hated Brock Lesnar. Not in the heel way, I just hated him.
