Why Professional Wrestling Doesn't Need Brock Lesnar.

F$@! Brock Lesnar, the professional wrestler. The human being, well I don't know him so I can't pass judgment against the man. But seriously - F$@! Brock Lesnar the Professional Wrestler.

I write this to while I'm watching Monday Night Raw "live" on the west coast. I do know now that Brock Lesnar is back in the WWE. Without seeing him back, without watching the build to the moment that he comes back, as life long wrestling fan, through the good and bad, I dont want Brock back in professional wrestling, period. This guy, was given the opportunity of a lifetime - was given every big name in the WWE Universe(more on that later) to put on his defeated list. He was the guy who would beat the out going Goldberg. The Bad Ass of WWE vs. The Bad Ass of WCW. And Brock Lesnar, didn't like the lifestyle of professional wrestling so he quit to go try out for the Minnesota Vikings and on the 20th Anniversary of Wrestlemania gave us in my opinion the worst match in Wrestlemania history(Thanks Stone Cold for saving the day). He went on to do great things and then when he can't compete in the UFC is back in the WWE. Some say he has limited dates. FUCK THAT. Brock Lesnar took an opportunity that ANY WRESTLING FAN on the planet would do anything for and trashed it because he didn't like the travel schedule. ARE YOU F$@!ING SHITTIN' ME!!!

This ladies in gentleman is also proof that WWE is longer about the wrestling business. Its about making money and being entertainment. Brock Lesnar will probably be used to put over younger talent  but as a professional wrestling fan, I dont want Brock Lesnar back. You don't need "big" names like Brock Lesnar to put over talent. The Attitude Era is the best example of this. Young, Hungry PROFESSIONAL Wrestlers, did what it took to get the fans to show up. These were the guys that gave everything they had and left in the ring every night, in various cities. Believe it or not these guys still exist. They Love this business. They don't do it for the money, they do it for the fans. Wrestling is about comradeship. The reason why Professional Wrestling is special is because this comradeship extends to the fans. Its not easy being a wrestling fan, lets be honest, we get ridiculed when its not in style. But this industry is what given all of us some great thrills. Trust me I remember where I was when the SF Giants won the World Series in 2011, I also remember where I was when they lost the World Series in 2002. I remember where I was for Rock vs. Hogan - Austin vs. Rock II - HBK vs. Bret Hart Iron Man - Hitman vs. Bulldog and the matches span as far back as Hogan vs. Andre at Wrestlemania. Brock Lesnar disrespected that Comradeship. Plus how I can I ever truly believe in a character to be a tough guy, when I know he quit the industry because he couldn't handle the travel schedule?

Any PPV Lesnar is on - I don't purchase.  I am proud to be a wrestling fan - and I believe that Professional Wrestling Does Need Brock Lesnar.
