LESNAR: The “Next Big Thing…AGAIN”
By Guest Blogger “ATRAIN”
The year is 2002 on an episode of WWE Monday night Raw, the man that was to be known as “THE NEXT BIG THING” Brock Lesnar was on the scene and ready to take the professional wrestling scene by storm just as he did in the NCAA heavyweight division. At that time little was known about the 23-year-old former University of Minnesota collegiate wrestler, but one thing was for sure the man was a genetic freak.
Led to the ring by WWE personality Paul Heyman, Lesnar destroyed everything put in his path including the likes of Hulk Hogan and the The “Rock” to become (at that time) the youngest WWE Heavyweight champion and all in just the first year. Only 3 years after the start of a very promising Pro wrestling career Brock decided to hang up his wrestling boots and pursue a short lived pro career with the NFL. While only playing a few pre-season games, he made his mark on the league. And if you don’t believe me, ask Kansas City chiefs quarterback Damon Huard if he is still feeling the effects of a Brock Lesnar sack.
Fast forward to present day and Brock is at it again, but this time testing his skills in MMA. The whole Brock in MMA thing seems to have stemmed from a pro wrestling match in Japan with pro wrestler and former Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle. More than likely perceived as a joke, Angle challenged Brock to a MMA fight. From the looks of things I guess Brock wasn’t joking. Just 2 year later Brock is now a UFC fighter with 3 fights under his belt with a pro record of 2-1. Brock’s last fight left the MMA world buzzing and salivating for more. In just 3 fights the 31 year old newcomer has proven to the world he is not a joke and shouldn’t be taken lightly, showing some signs of a promising and dominating future.
So what is the next stop on the Brock Lesnar pain train? Well none other than Randy “The Natural” Couture for the UFC World Heavyweight Championship.
