Perhaps his age is catching up with him. It's ironic that he's a wrestler, where his job is to be a star in the public eye, because I remember reading that he's actually a very quiet and reclusive guy. He spends his free time farming in Saskatchewan. Maybe he's just not really into it, but it's something that pays the bills.<br /><br />I don't follow wrestling at all, but loved it as a youth. My best friend would have a WWF themed birthday party every year, where we would order pizza and rent the latest Wrestlemania VHS.Paul Calverthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11748440093206090195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745278395015428128.post-36490389284838245572017-04-18T10:29:29.352-05:002017-04-18T10:29:29.352-05:00This may be my personal bias.

Lesnar is an incredible athlete and could beat the crap out of most of the WWE roster (probably not Kurt Angle), but I'm referring to his wrestling ability. UFC is actual fighting with fists and holds, while wrestling is more like a dance being choreographed by two skilled performers. Brock Lesnar is for sure a tough dude with natural real fighting ability, but I just don't think he's very versatile in a wrestling ring. He used to do more actual moves than he does now, too. These days it's just German Suplex after German Suplex, then his finisher. Not a lot of storytelling going on, which is the kind of wrestling I prefer.

I don't follow wrestling anymore (so I don't know the answer), but I'm surprised because he did compete in the UFC for a while and did well, becoming heavyweight champion. He eventually left because of health problems, not from any lack of talent.Paul Calverthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11748440093206090195noreply@blogger.com
