Who knows when the contract expires but if Dana is flexing his muscle to keep Brock from the WWE he is just ridiculous.
I thought Dana and Vince had a very good business relationship??? I know Vince is cut throat, but he'd respect that. I also don't think Dana will flex his muscle at the wwe.

Well either he just did or he knows something we don't.
With how Dana works, the only way I see Lesnar getting back into the WWE early is that there is some promise in place that he'd have to fight x amount of times afterwards.
I think it was brought up in the other thread that Vince wanted to get Lesnar back for an event, but Dana wasn't having any of it.
I thought I read somewhere that this was his last fight on his contract. I'm not sure if it's true, but I read it somewhere unless I completely missed something about signing a new contract.
"I mean when he retires, he retires under contract," White said, indicating that Lesnar wouldn't be able to compete anywhere else, doing anything, until his contract with the UFC has expired. "I've had my moments with Brock Lesnar, but I've had a great relationship with him. We'll figure it out, no big deal. Never had a situation with a guy where we haven't done the right thing."
He reigned as heavyweight champ, headlined UFC 100, generated the most Internet traffic of any MMA fighter and actually has fights left on his contract.
UFC President Dana White and Chairman Lorenzo Fertitta took the high road with Lesnar even after the fighter blew off the post-fight news conference.
White said, "When a guy decides he wants to retire, you let him do it. This is not, 'Go hit a ball with a stick for the next two or three years on your way out.'"
"This is the real deal, guys. "We'll figure it out." He said regardless of how many fights Lesnar has on his contract, "Doesn't matter. If he's done, he's done." http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/20...stair-overeem/
This is what I could find so far. He's at least got one if not two more left on his contract.
Please, Dana White .. keep him under contract as long as possible. I don't want to see him back in the WWE.
Sign Eddie Edwards or Davey Richards if you want real talent, Vince.
Eww. American Wolves are garbage midgets.
I know WWE hates Japanese guys and only signs bad ones to reflect Japan poorly(Yoshi Tatsu was by far the worst of his class in NJPW), but Hiroshi Tanahashi would be an amazing pick up. Might be a few years too late though as he's 35 now, and will likely start to go to the Mutoh route of simplifying his matches to avoid injury. Still though if there's one guy who could step right into the main event of WWE and not look out of place it's him.
If WWE were interesting in killing NOAH I'd say go after Go Shiozaki, but I'm not sure he'd work out in the WWE as they're pretty "Anti-stiff" and Shiozaki's main attribute are his chops and pretty much ripping off Kobashi and Misawa.
Oh well, guess we'll have to stick to NJPW undercarders and Taka Michinoku trainees. Only a matter of time before they sign King Fale, which is pretty much how I'd describe him other than his look.

Pass.
If they are going to steal wrestlers from Japan, I'd rather see Dragon Kid, KENTA, BxB Hulk, or Naruki Doi.
Calling Eddie Edwards a midget is ignorant. 6 foot, 215 pounds. I guess Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart are midgets too, considering they were basically the same size.
Davey Richards is short, yes. But he's built like a tank and can wrestle better than 99% of the WWE roster.
Good to know what kind of wrestlers you like though. Bet you're looking forward to the Big Show vs. Shaq match.
I bet you think the Tiger Mask vs. Dynamite Kid matches suck too, right?

Yeah, Eddie Edwards is garbage.
To bring up Dragon Garbage wrestlers then mention Dynamite vs Tiger Mask is wrestling sacrilege. Edwards is not 6'0 and not 215. KENTA is legit 5'7 a buck fifty and he's practically the same size. You post a random NOAH match from youtube acting like I don't know who these people are. I've watched more Japanese wrestling than you've watched wrestling in general.
You're trying to promote garbage as gospel. Dragon Gate is not taken seriously by anyone but teenage girls in Japan. Same goes for KENTA and the rest of the NOAH junior division. The only thing that division has going for it is Katsuhiko Nakajima, who will leave as soon as NOAH can't afford Kensuke Office anymore. Junior wrestling in Japan has been pretty ****** for a while now. I don't think there's been an above average wrestler junior to come out of Japan since Minoru Tanaka. Unless of course you count Tiger Mask IV when he tries, which is once every five years. Any junior who does become above average does so after turning heavyweight.
Your loss really to choose your wrestling based on what ROHbots watch. I'm just going to guess you've never seen the Jumbo-Tenryu series, or anything New Japan that didn't have Liger in it. Have fun with watching midgets no-sell everything that happens to them for 30 minutes while kicking out of super tornado explosion table destroyers then losing to roll ups.

I don't really care for Ring of Honor anymore because of how ridiculous things got. I basically stopped watching (still catch the odd show) around the time that Jimmy Rave left the first time around late 2006, since I absolutely loved that gimmick.
But to call Eddie Edwards a bad wrestler is reaching for straws. Actually, calling him a midget and then when I prove you wrong, defending it with a completely different argument is grasping for straws. Also, KENTA is at least 175. Either way, calling them the same size makes me wonder if you even clicked play.
I have seen lots of stuff from Japan, so don't just assume that I know nothing. Pretending like I don't know who Jumbo Tsuruta and Genichiro Tenryu is quite hilarious though. Thanks for that. And I didn't pretend you don't know who they are, I'm simply stating my opinion that Eddie Edwards is far from "garbage."
Then again, telling me I've never seen NJPW, outside of Liger (who I'm not that big of fan of), tops the last statement. Maybe I should give Liger more of a chance, but everyone has always talked about his matches with Pillman being better than sliced bread and while they were okay, I've seen a lot better. Back on topic though, especially when I just mentioned the Tiger Mask vs. Dynamite Kid matches.
NJPW has had a lot of my favourite (or at least guys I like) wrestlers travel through there. Chris Jericho, Ultimo Dragon, Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, Otani, Chono, Sasuke, Muta, Tenzan, Kanemoto, among others. I may not follow Japanese wrestling religiously, but I hear about good matches and check them out. I grab the occasional show sometimes, depending what I hear.
Hearing Dragon Kid called a "garbage" wrestler is a borderline murder attempt. I laughed so hard at that that I nearly fell over.
Well either he just did or he knows something we don't.
With how Dana works, the only way I see Lesnar getting back into the WWE early is that there is some promise in place that he'd have to fight x amount of times afterwards.
I think it was brought up in the other thread that Vince wanted to get Lesnar back for an event, but Dana wasn't having any of it.
Considering they're two different entities, can Dana even enforce that contract? He has no desire to fight, but wants to earn a living back in pro wrestling, tough to deny him that.
That being said, it wouldn't go that far because neither side would want a lawsuit. I don't see Dana refusing to let him wrestle, though, not after they work something out. Probably something about never mentioning UFC on WWE television, because he's weird like that.
Imagine if there was no Team Johnny/Team Teddy match.
Miz comes out *****ing about how he doesn't have a match. Say's he'll fight ANYONE in the locker room willing to come out a la Honkey Tonk Man. Then Lesnar comes out, everyone ***** their pants, and Brock's back in the loop again.
Damn, so there's a slight chance that Lesnar could show up at Wrestlemania. For what its worth there's another rumor that Batista might show up as well.
I think if it happens, it's either against 'Taker or The Rock. Possibly Lesnar comes out and F-5's The Undertaker on steel steps and destroys him after the Hell in a Cell match so 'Taker has an excuse to leave for another 10 months, or the ref takes a bump in the Rock/Cena match, Lesnar comes in through the crowd and hits The Rock with an F-5.
All I know, is I'd mark the **** out. I hope to God it happens.
- Brock Lesnar and WWE are still working on terms of a deal, including the number of dates he would be working for the company and financial issues. WWE wants him to have a regular role.
---------------------------
I think it'd be wise on both ends for him to work a schedule similar to Shawn Michaels a few years back. If WWE can get Lesnar back in the fold full time, it'd be HUGE. I hope so bad that it happens. I'd mark like a *****.

As would I, but I can't really see that happening, unfortunately.
I wonder how his health would be able to hold up, considering he's had two extreme bouts with sickness the past few years.
