From AP Sources on August 31, 2004:

 

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Brock Lesnar won't be the next big thing in the NFL -- at least not this year.

 

The former pro wrestling star who hadn't played football in nine years, was cut by the Minnesota Vikings on Monday.

 

Lesnar developed faster than expected and impressed his teammates with hard work. But his lack of football experience -- combined with minimal playing time and a groin injury from an April motorcycle accident -- were too much to overcome in just one month of training camp.

 

"He gave me a hug," coach Mike Tice said. "He was very happy for the chance."

 

Lesnar, 27, won the 2000 NCAA heavyweight championship at the University of Minnesota, and gained pro wrestling fame as 'The Next Big Thing'.

 

But despite a seven-year, $45 million WWE contract, he decided to pursue a professional football career. On the eve of training camp, Lesnar signed a one-year contract with the Vikings for $230,000, the rookie minimum.

 

"When he called me, that's all he asked for, is an opportunity," Tice said. "I think we gave him a good opportunity to see if this is what he wanted to do."

 

Tice declined to speculate about whether Lesnar would be added to the Vikings' practice squad, but said the club would be "proud" to allocate him to the NFL's developmental league next spring.

 

"I suggest to him that he should at some point end up in NFL Europe this year and play," Tice said. "Hopefully, that will be as a Viking."

 

Lesnar wasn't available for comment. His agent, Ed Hitchcock, said Lesnar wants to continue his development on the practice squad and in NFL Europe.

 

"He's committed to this long-term," Hitchcock said. "He's realistic about what it takes to develop. There are players who've played this game all their lives who take a couple of years to develop (in the NFL)."

A WWE Diva? I would if I could! Although I'm rather diminutive to be in the roster.

 

of all the Divas though, I love Torrie Wilson the most. She's sooo cute! I mean, nevermind that she's not as hardcore as Lita, but her presence sure lights up the ring.

talk about love for the sport..

 

lesnar leaving his 7-year, $45M WWE contract to pursue his passion football for a minimum contract..

i love Stacy Keibler! love that cute face & her long long legs :evil: :heart:

Torrie Wilson is ok. i have her Playboy pictorial w/ Sable. ok lang.

Lita used to be my favorite. but ever since she came back from her injury, parang mas rough ang itsura nya ngayon. pero ok lang pa rin sya

salamat, miss ma, sa iyong magagandang salita. inis din kasi ako sa mga ganitong klaseng wreslters, na dinadaan lang sa laki (hindi ko sinabi masculado, malaki lang) tapos dagdag pa kay heidenrech ginagawa pa nilang parang hannibal lechter psycho serial killer na poem ang gimik! hindi talaga sila madala-dala.

 

eto pa, may arabyanong wrestlers pa! napaka-panis talaga ng idea na ito. isa sa mga pinakanaunang gimmick na ganito (anti-u.s.) ay si fritz von erich, tatay ng von erich brothers, na nagsimula noon na nazi wrestler. hanggang pumasok sa wwf mga anti-americans na kalaban ni hogan: iron sheik, nikolai volkoff, mr fuji... kahit sila bret hart anti-us noon, diba? hanggang ngayon pa ba ganito pa rin ang tinutulak ng wwe? buti pa sa tna, maganda ang push kay sabu at sonjay dutt.

The main reason behind all these untalented big men like Heidenreich getting massive pushes is Vince McMahon.  He doesn't like small guys (otherwise, Benoit would be the greatest champion ever).  He likes guys that are bigger than him, because he feels that bigger guys are more believable tough guys to casual fans.

you're damn right... vince has mad fancy for gargantuan crap in the likes of heidenreich, suzuki (he's around 6'6"), nathan jones (remember), mordecai (don't remember), mark jindrak (the most wasted physical specimen in the world), a-train (good, he's cut) and others... he even made a run for kevin "big lazy" nash the 2nd time around...

 

...all crap with no charisma...

 

...vince has got to have some reality check, that fans nowadays enjoys high spots more than high ceiling...

 

...peeps, what do you prefer, watching a fatal fourway between heidenreich, jindrak, orlando jordan & gene snitzky (assuming its a crossover PPV) or something to the likes of rey jr, paul london, billy kidman & shannon moore...

Bill Goldberg paid a visit to the Playboy mansion last week for some unknown reason, & he was kicked out.

Sources say that he wandered into a off-limits area & he was confronted by security, who asked him to leave. Goldberg then became confrontational, but still got booted out of the mansion.

yeah, its the fastest match (as far as movements are concerned) in the WWE lately... nga lang, the disadvantage of the "lucha libre" style, is, sometimes, you could really see the opponent (the victim) helping out the executioner (the one using the move), lalo na kapag slow mo... say, look how weak rey jr's west coast pop in slow mo... kailangan pa i-angat nung kalaban yun legs nila para maabot ni rey jr, unlike nung wcw days derecho pin move na yung west coast pop...
