Of course, that's also what makes it so amazing. you guys are right, of course… the fact that it was forward moving is what confused me.

Let him get in a half a dozen fights against lower tier competition and spend that time improving his all round game before he takes a step up to a bigger organization like the UFC.

First time I read no. #4 I thought it said Lesnar shot stars out his ass. Since Lesnar was in pro wrestling at the time, I immediately thought he had some sort of pyrotechnic device in his bung hole. I'm pretty sure they do that sort of thing in pro wrestling, don't they? I gotta read this stuff more closely. First time I read no. #4 I thought it said Lesnar shot stars out his ass.

They both spent the same amount of time in pro wrestling. Each had two years in OVW and then three years in WWE. “He also didn’t spend too much time in the WWE so his body hasn’t taken the punishment of oh, say, Brock Lesnar.”

Based off of what I've read, it sounds like he is taking the sport seriously, and comes in with a solid wrestling back ground. I agree that this is a good move signing with a small org that will give him a few fights to see what he has before he is thrown in with any top level guys.

He was an amateur champion in wrestling, and competed at 177 lbs (as per Bryan Alvarez, IIRC). In the WWE he was well over 300 lbs of solid muscle, and the rumors abounded at the time, including some ridicule in the pro-wrestling press over lost definition and mass once the organization rolled out its' wellness policy. He was terribly green when he debuted in the 'squared circle' (as Gorilla Monsoon used to call it) but improved his ring work in his two or three years in the WWE. His mic work was terrible. Given the rumors about the circumstances surrounding his departure from the former fed, and his stint in the military, he seems like a principled individual. I'll be watching, too, for both the crossover and freak appeals. Adam, I’m curious to see how Lashley performs as well.

He did a backflip off the ropes and landed directly on his neck? He's taken multiple chair shots to the dome? I don't know of any specific injuries that Lesnar had during his time in WWE, but with the schedule those guys work and the type of high-profile matches that Lesnar was in, his body definitely took some wear and tear.
