Brock Lesnar To Wrestle One More Match For WWE?

Big Daddy Cool

Wrestler turned mixed martial artist Brock Lesnar says in an interview with ESPN.com that he expects to wrestle one more match for WWE.

"I think I will. I think under the right circumstances I will," he responds to Jon Robinson's query regarding one final WWE match. "I think if Vince McMahon and I were able to sit down at the same dinner table and break some bread that we could come up with some kind of game plan. At the end of the day, I'm an ultimate fighter. That's who I am and that's who I'll always be. I was an entertainer but at the end of the day, I'm still as real as it gets. I think a lot of things have to fall in the right places for something like that to happen."

Lesnar is asked who he would like to wrestle of talent he never had a match with; he responds "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.

"Ironically it's probably the guy that walked out on me. The guy that took his ball and went home. A guy that I was supposed to face and I think that he was just plain downright scared to get in the ring with me because he was one of those guys that was on top and saw a huge threat in Brock Lesnar at the time. That's "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. I worked with everybody and anybody that was anybody there and if I came back, I think the guy that I would come back to fight is "Stone Cold" Steve Austin."

Rumors surfaced last year about Lesnar possibly facing The Undertaker at WrestleMania. He comments on how the match would have been like.

"I was a true wrestler. I was a Division I national champion. I came into the business wanting one thing and one thing only, and that was to be the champion, and I wasn't going to let anybody stand in my way. I think there was one guy that had a problem with that and that was Undertaker. If I were to have gotten in the ring with him I would have ripped his arm off and f

beat him with it."

Thats bull. Austin was quite prepared to put Brock over, just not in the manner WWE wanted him to. Austin, rightly, felt that there should be a build up to their PPV match, which would then give Brock a massive rub. Instead they wanted Austin to lose in a throwaway TV match.

Austin was 100% correct in this case.

SCSA and Brock are great friends. Obviously Pro-Wrestler / promo jargon that can be ignored.

Jericho last week lambasting WWE stars for copying him comes to mind.

i know, i remember Austin in an interview saying that at the time.

Strikes me Brock is talking in kayfabe for parts of that, so if they were to build a match between Brock/Austin (big if), that's the angle they'd build on. I'm sure Brock knows what happened; he's already started trying to build the angle.

Weirdly, I can't really think of anyone who'd work well for a dream match with Brock. Even Taker is that bit older and they'd have to pay Brock a lot to do the only big match Taker has left in him at Mania and lose.

Sheamus or Matista come to mind for me anyways I found Lesnar way overrated myself

Not great on the mic, but deserved every opportunity he got to be honest.

I loved Lesnar in the ring and his character was good. He played the monster really well.

When I say I don't know who to put him against, the problem is you'd need a proper wrestler, like Punk or Bryan, but neither of those have the real character to run with a dream match scenario. Only Taker is in the position to get a proper story and match out of him but even then it would need to be a Mania match and I still think it would be shakey.

Makes me sorry someone like Angle isn't still in WWE; I think an Angle/Lesnar match at Mania again would be awesome...

He could wrestle a broom-stick.

I presume Matista is Mason Ryan? How could that possibly be a "dream match" in any reality? Apart from the fact he has a big physique he has nothing (yet anyway).

I presume Seamus was mentioned due to his physique as well and no other reason?

Yes it was more for physique but I do think him and Sheamus would put on a great match

Yep, Brock is the same person who did an angle with Undertaker at an UFC over a mysterious beef.

Tinie

I wonder if Batista was still in WWE that they could have had the match? It would probably have been terrible though, but it would be a good spectacle.

maybe im wrong but i think i read somewhere that Lesnar said Taker took it upon himself to just stand in front of him, and that Lesnar didnt know Taker was going to do that and because there is ''beef'' between them, just eyeballed him. and that there was no angle to start something cos he was/is under contract to UFC

jaykhunter

the one person i wanted to see Lesnar was face was Triple H. Two both big dudes, great wrestlers. I think they'd match up much better than Lesnar/Austin, which i can't see being as great as in-ring as with HHH.

Got to see Lesnar vs Angle, Eddie, Benoit and Test. All for me missing is vs HHH :pac:

They were going to do a pull apart backstage in front of the press but Brock wasnt feeling up to it post fight.

WWE let Taker fly before the WWE PPV the next night in extremely bad weather to cut the angle.

putting him with heyman was a genius idea he came in and dominated and was pushed very quickly and then boom he left would have loved to see how he faired if he had stayed on

if he has another match it should be against the main mvp of wwe now mark henry

I'd assume it'll be WM30, fair chance his UFC career could be more-or-less finished by then and they'll be pretty desperate by then if the trend of the last few years of failing to build up anyone continues.

not a thing, i just liked seeing henry getting the F5

Lord TSC

Thinking about it, Cena and HHH would be the logical choices since both are so pro-WWE; they could build on a "You walked out on WWE, I never would" angle...

Mr.Nice Guy

Sheamus vs Brock would be a real cool match I think since Sheamus is probably the most athletic 'big man' they have at the minute and is developing his in-ring style nicely. A match with an accomplished performer like Lesnar would do wonders for him, but I don't see it happening as if Lesnar returned I'd say a match with Taker or another more established guy would be the way they'd go.

Chris Jericho will return at some stage and I think those two could have a hell of a match if the storyline was built properly. I'm not sure those two ever wrestled each other when they were together in the company and you know it would deliver in-ring wise.

FreezeUp

For the sake of debate, in my opinion it would have been nuts for Austin, one of the biggest names ever, to job to Lesnar clean on Raw. Esspecialy at the time when Austin's character was starting to get a bit stale.

gimmick

I do not think (m)any would disgree with that. Even though Austin was horrible in 2002, a feud with the Rookie Monster would have helped both Austin and Brock. Look at how Brock was sent to the stars by The Rock at Summerslam.

It does make Austin look like a bitch if he refused to face him. Pretty much everyone else put Brock over and a loss on Raw would not have been the end of it. It would have most likely been the start of something bigger. How often did Austin lose cleanly in a first time meeting and that was that? In most cases, a clean loss for the babyface (Unless he is on his way out of the company) in the first match means he's getting the win back in the near future anyway.

Austin had zero confidence in the creative team at the time and the likelihood that it would be "the start of something bigger."

He wasnt being a bitch he was being business minded.
