Is Brock Lesnar Holding Out on the UFC Over WrestleMania?

wasn't this planned by vince? i know he told taker to go there and bait him but i guess brock wants to not get hit for real for a couple million bucks.

Brock should do Mania. 2 million dollars is an easy payday for what he will have to do. He can still be a fighter and take a few weeks to put on a show for one night in the WWE. Dana should jump on the idea because it can only help the UFC imo with PPV's that has Brock fights in the future. Not to mention Brock on TUF would get a small boost from him doing Wrestlemania.

do you think he ends taker's streak?

no way brock beats taker. takers still got about 5 more years before he really calls it quit and he is gonna hold on to that streak till the end. also wont brock be alot smaller compared to his wwe days

Brock already beat Taker cleanly and also Dana already said Brock is not wrestling for WWE or anyone else as long as he is under UFC contract.


Then again you can take what ever Dana says with a grain of salt.

i was actually taking bout takes wrestlemania streak. other than that i agree with you 100%

Man I was hoping that this board would mock such a thought. Instead it's embraced and it spawns a "who wins Brock or Taker?" discussion.

Im rather dissapointed.

Ya remember when he weched on his 250,000 dollar bet that lid dell would win the pride conflict middleweight tournament.

Brock got his ass beat. Would have been twice if Carwin hadn't completely gassed out. I think his ego just can't handle losing. Time to go back to the scripted fake show and forget about real competition.

Well Mir is acting like he isn't fighting Schaub so who knows, that may still be in the works

Brock should not do this. You a fighter or an entertainer. Well, maybe he should now that I think about it.

He should do it if they are gonna pay him 2 million dollars to do it. He would dumb to pass that kind of money up. It's not like he is gonna get hurt anyways. UFC should do it and let him bring back some more WWE fans, lol.

GDP they are both entertainment! That is like saying guys in the NFL aren't really football players, because they get paid. You thik I watch the fights for the intellectual insight into the analysis of physics and the effects on gravity? I watch it to be entertained and get back to the more animal side of human behavior.

Me too Cap me too

You gotta be kidding me with that. Let me break this down as logically and technically as I can.

Pro wrestling is not MMA. Any questions?

Umm...yes? Why is it the stars of Pride could crossover to Pro-wrestling, but all of the sudden UFC stars can't? I know the difference. Now if you think it is strictly a credibility issue, then I will remind everyone that football, baseball, and basketball players have done it as well as movie and TV stars. So how bad can it really affect the sport?

Good point about the Pride guys crossing over. People are gonna hate on Brock because he is Brock.

+1

do people discredit chuck or mayweather for being on dancing with stars. also keep in mind that barnett skipped his apeal more than a year ago to go wrestled bob sapp in japan. things like that were more important to him than clearing his name or gettin a license to fight again back then.

lol at kidn stealing my thunder:
He doesn't need the money. He's already famous. He doesn't like getting punched in the face.

No one has said Brock shouldn't do this for himself. He used to do it and what he did was a lot different than other athletes and movie starts do in there, I mean the guy almost killed himself.

Anyways, like I said, Brock should go back to pro wrestling, but I think he should stay there to protect himself and the impressionable psyche of his large pro wrestling fan base.

Both are entertainment but the difference is one is athletic competition and the other is scripted performance which mocks that athletic competition.

Anyways this shits ridiculous. I'm mma over wwf all day. If he wants to go act again he should. He is and was a bigger pro wrestling star than he ever will be an MMA star, for good reason.
