(3 seems to be gone)
Good documetary about his life leading up to wwe and then in wwe.
-
I am still pissed that brock left, as I felt he had amazing talent in the WWE.
he is like the Cat Stevens of wrestling: super talented yet cut his own career short so much that he was practically nothing more than a flash in the pan. even though he was so bright while he was there..

From the....."Land Of Make Believe".

Im glad he got out before it was too late and would risk ending up like angle.
He said he had a painkiller addiction due to wrestling with broken ribs all the time etc. entertaintment wrestling is Horrible for you, especielly if you're a big name
he was one in a million though

and looking back at that makes you realise how fucking HUGE he was lol.
-
His athleticism for his size was off the friggin charts. Just an amazing natural athlete. That moonsault off the top rope is incredible. I think that if he wasn't a wrestler with a big, thick neck....he would have had a broken neck in that wrestlemania match with Angle where he missed that move.

did you see the interview today on rome is burning swede?very good interview from brock...

As much as i dislike MMA i think MMA saved Brocks life, he would have been dead by 40 like every great wrestler before him if he didnt leave wrestling the coke, the painkillers, the booze it all goes hand in hand with wrestling

agreed. he has even said hes lucky he got out when he did, I bet its fucking HARD leaving something which makes 17k fans SCREAM your name each and ever week. And makes you a multi millionaire in the process. Im sure thats pretty damn addictive.
-
the story lines in wrestling use to be interesting now it's like day time soap opera with a little bit more violence.
now everyone is trying to be to goth mixed with ed hardy shirts

He thought he would be playing in the NFL. Lasted about a week.

funny that wrestling is a work yet is in so many ways more tuff n brutal than any other sport...
who would think that staged fightn leaves ppl more battered than real fighting...
yeah prob one of the highest forms of adrenaline someone can get... 20k pakd houses night after night,, mon nite always the high point and 1 a month paypervws,,, back in the day it was better wit 4 then therd be 70k not to mention worlwide.. everywhere these guy went...
biz changd a lot
-
I know he had his reasons but I love how everyone says he is the next coming of Hulk Hogan and he up and leaves them....
-
how much that prob devastated wwf,,, and they just bought him a plane not too long before...
they wntd to keep him for at least 10-20yrs... meanwhile angles getting worked on for 20 mins bfore each match not to mention prob a pin cushion for novcaine , cortisol/corticos what ev else/or for 10 min before walking out the curtain.
even still he was getting a big push,,, to the point where he was gona be made an icon is sport pop culture maybe thats y he pikd the time to leave wwf,,, he was blazn hot,,, prob woulda went real unnoticed if he went to combine or vik tryout or.... mma,, he would still be fightin low mid card now n maybe just start to get recognized now... (which was everyone beef back when he started) but biz is biz so he had the name, perceived capabilities and he was a draw that could sell tix so he got pushd obv hes stayn and hios true talent & colors ar shining thru which were gona anyway...
just as ppl in wwf know it,, if u follow wrestling and knew the stories when brock 1st strarted mma,,, u knew he was gona end up bein the best and for a while too.

well he made the cut but had to play for a leauge in like europe or some shit to get his skill/knowledge of the game up to par
-

potential wise about 1000 times better then hogan.
Hogan wasn't necessarily the best wrestler but Amazing charisma thats what made him popular,
I mean hogan finisher was a normal fucking legdrop lol. and no one complained ;D

yeah thats still gr8 considering he just walkd on and playd with no prior exp... just being a pure athlete... surely if he woulda liked he coulda did a yr learned the program and got on a nfl team his 2nd tryout with more experience..

there were a lot of wrestlers with bags of moves better athletes etc... it has nothing to do with actually "getting over"

To be in the nfl, I guess you pretty much have to LIVE football. ANd brock havent. and he was honest with that he didnt really know wtf he was doing lol.
He wanted to try and see if he had what it took to be on the top, and he didn't so he moved on. tried the same thing with mma and managed it. Due to wrestling since hew as 5. If he played football since he was 5 im sure he could probably play in the nfl.
-
prob rite,,, like all other foorballs that playd since 5,,,
the point that ppl miss is that he almost made the team,,, in his very 1st yr...
how many ppl can even walk into a open combine and make an arena lge or nfl europe,,,
a very small percent%
certainly, if he woulda trained at it for a yr or 2 brock woulda playd proball as a starter wthn 3-4 yrs.
better he didnt so he could dom the hvyw div of mma ufc for a long time

I think the problem was Brock wanted to play defense and they turned him into an offensive lineman and he didnt really want to play that position so he gave up, Brock is a strong and driven dude if given the shot to play defense in the NFL im sure he would have worked his ass off to make be a starter
