Back on point fellas..
As a huge WWE and UFC fan I was almost pissing myself out of excitement leading up to the Lesnar/Mir fight. What made it even more worth it for me was seeing WWE stars sitting ringside for the first time including the Undertaker, Kurt Angle, and my favorite, the Texas Rattlesnake himself.. Stone Cold Steve Austin!
I had a measly $10 on Lesnar since my buddies are poor. I assumed Lesnar would do nothing short of smashing Mir's head and then go right on to tear the sonofabitch right off!!! I could barely stay still as the fight started and Lesnar appeared to do just that. Unfortunately, my fun was short lived as the awful truth of what a good BJJ artist can do to a ground and pounder. I have a small amount of grappling experience so I should've seen it coming.
Nevertheless.. I am sure Lesnar will be back since his performance was still probably the most exciting half round of the night. And considering how many people tuned in for the first time as WWE and collegiate wrestling talent mashed with the staple of MMA I wouldn't be surprised if more WWE stars are courted to, at the very least, "see what they can do."
And for all you assholes that think wrestling is gay.. I think you should at least concede that, even though everyone already knows it is scripted, there are undeniable factors that make it an extremely popular and awe inspiring form of entertainment. Huge guys flying off ropes and battering one another, dramatic and often hilarious story lines and rivalries, hot divas wearing almost nothing, and massive, juicing, megastars that are either comically overweight and/or dressed or guys built like human tanks.
Stone Cold's mouth was reason enough to watch IMO.
Either way, it's entertainment! And Brock Lesnar has more than considerable potential in MMA. I can't wait to see what other talent might be found from WWE.
