Okay, no one can disagree with scripted, pre-determined, whatever.

But this is the jackass who damn near broke his neck by botching an F-5. Was that "fake"? For him to call wrestling "fake" shows he's a retard and an ingrate, considering that without that "fake" stuff, he wouldn't have a UFC career, or anything.
 
2011-12-29 04:07:21 PM
...whoops... it was a shooting star press he botched.

And here's the video! (new window)

Wow, thanks Brock. Everyone that watches knows its fake. They watch for the soap opera.

Well, everyone but that guy.

I think Alistair Overeem is going to murder Lesnar tomorrow night.
 
2011-12-29 05:15:14 PM

Can't wait for the fights tomorrow night.

Here's the full question and answer.

Areil Helwani: You mentioned obviously your background in WWE, and it seems as though you've turned a corner in terms of acceptance, people no longer really refer to you as a former WWE wrestler, they call you former UFC champion. Do you still feel as though you represent that world, though? Being probably the most popular guy to come over from that world into this world?

Brock Lesnar: Well, I was a former WWE Champion. If you've lived in a cave for the last 50 years, you probably think it's real, but it's not. Sorry. But at the end of the day, what got me to that stage was being an amateur wrestler, and being an Divsion 1 NCAA champ. It's just been my career. I haven't labeled myself that. I go as "Brock Lesnar, the UFC fighter". You guys can put whatever label you want on me, I don't really give a sh*t.

He isn't doing UFC any favors by smacktalking his old employer and drawing
attention to his background in what he terms a 'fake' sport.

/I think UFC is just as 'fixed' as pro wrestling, just in more subtle ways.
//Pro boxing too.
 
2011-12-29 06:04:27 PM
Much like Cena and his habit of making smarky comments, Brock should know that shiat talking pro wrestling isn't going to make him any friends among MMA fans. He's always gonna be who he is.

On the other hand, I do like that CM Punk retweeted a different comment Brock made in that interview -

@arielhelwani
Brock on WWE days: "There wasn't much to do other than going to the next town to scrap and steal other guy's girlfriends."

The butthurt in this thread AND that article is incredible. Get the fark over yourselves wrestling fans. it's FAKE. FAAAAKE. It's always been sweaty-tights-theatre, he just used language you all apparently don't like.

Whether something takes skill to do, or people get hurt when they screw up has nothing to do with whether its fake or not.

Hope he enjoys getting his ass kicked by Overeem.

Bleacher Report Natural Trifecta in play.
 
2011-12-29 07:03:58 PM
Did anyone actually watch the clip?

He says it's "not real". Which is correct.

He does not call it "fake". Bleacher Report uses this as an excuse for writing an incorrect headline:

He did not necessarily trash wrestling here, but let's face it, other than doing some press for WWE '12, he has not shown much love to the wrestling world over the past few years.

So what? Lesnar doesn't do what you said he did you frickin douches.

Subby, please stop using bleacher report because it makes you look dumber too.

No one has ever been able to produce evidence that pro wrestling is fake, not in 100 years of the sport.

If it was fake something would have come out by now.
 
2011-12-29 07:06:52 PM
He is just hyping his fight.

May I suggest you re-read everything again (AFTER watching the actual clip or reading Lesnar's quote)?

Subby's headline makes as much sense as "Macho Man" Jake Roberts legdropping King Kong Anderson at WrestleWar XXXVIII. :P
 
2011-12-29 07:19:37 PM
Anyone listen to the Jim Rome show in the morning? (I know, sports radio. I get what I deserve).

They had guest hosts on today talking about Shaq doing some WWE thing and called wrestling "fake" in that no one believes the storylines are actual events but the performers have to be in incredible shape.

Guy from Oklahoma calls in and gets mad at them and says it's real. His evidence? "Look how mad they get at each other. You don't get that mad and not mean it."

I think Oklahoma guy believes Harrison Ford is actually a rough and tumble archeologist who flies spaceships on the side.

So, Subby is the Sin Cara of headlines, botching an easy one and blowing out his knee in the process. I'm sure he realizes that, and deeply regrets it.

Why isn't this WWE thread in the entertainment tab ?

jk

In all seriousness I would say that his career in fake wrestling is what pretty much ruined his chances of entering MMA when his skill set of pure collegiate wrestling would have carried him quite far. People seem to forget that Cock Chestnar did "fo realz" wrestling and was a 2 time NCAA champ. Brock might have developed as a more rounded fighter if he got into MMA in it's infancy and organically added submissions and striking as the sport itself evolved . We'll never know because by now there is no way that a guy with such a narrow scope has a prayer against guys that went into wrestling in highschool or college BECAUSE they want to be fighters after college. He missed his window of feasability. Bobby Lashly too. Ha dhigher hopes for him because he began doing smaller venues but he never developed into much more than a black Mark Coleman. Vicious ground and pound but little else including cardio.


Instead he took the path of fake wrestling. It made him a farkton of money but it didn't make him happy apparently. There is no way he could have made that kind of bank in the bad old days of the UFC. Like many fake wrestlers before him he took that job mostly because he wasn't good enough for the NFL.

Oddly enough, on the subject of Lashley, he just did an interview saying he would be more than open to returning to WWE if the opportunity were available.

2011-12-29 07:36:26 PM
Wow, the naivety in that article is astounding. Is this guy 11 years old? He acknowledges that pro wrestling matches are scripted, but the comment about no other wrestler having as much "success" in such a short career implies that he doesn't get that Lesnar "won" over other big names because the handlers realized that to maximize his profitability, he had to beat everybody.

Whatever Lesnar profited as a WWE wrestler, they profited 50x as much by having him wrestle for the WWE. When they wouldn't pay him what he thought his drawing potential was worth, he walked.

And the UFC would have noticed that he was a physical freak with a huge personality without caring if he had ever wrestled. If anything, it hurt him, its not like the UFC is looking for pro wrestling comparisons.

I don't like or hate wrestling. I just think it's ridiculous that people are shiatting themselves over Lesnar's comments when he didn't say anything that wasn't blatantly obvious to a 3-year-old with a sense of what is or isn't real.
