Brock has ridiculous speed and agility for someone his size. He is not only a great athlete though, he is an incredible fighter as well which sets him apart from someone like LeBron James or Cam Newton

Brock has dominated in 4 different sports, and has been a world champion in 3

> MMA
> WWE
> College Wrestling
> Football


And he would have gone pro in football easily but he didn't make it only cause he got in a motorcycle accident, he was a amazing at the combine though

if its not a sport then how come it requires incredible athleticism and knowledge of wrestling moves? you know WWE fighters spend all their time training for fights right?

I would like to see you get RKO'd by a 300 pound beast without breaking your spine

also according to your logic bruce lee was not an athlete either because all the stuff he did in movies was scripted

I'm not knocking mandrama skills, but a sport is a competition first and foremost. I'm sure WWE wrestlers train hard, but the outcome is already determined. It's not a competition.

No, Bruce Lee was not an athlete. He was a performer, like WWE wrestlers.

Does someone actually earn a "title" on some merit? If all the fights are staged wouldn't they just pick a winner?

Kurt Angle beat Lesnar in real wrestling matches they had backstage according to wrestlers like Shelton Benjamin (who coached Lesnar) and Bob Holly.

of course he is. to quote him "im built like a black man"

And what? Faggrass is? Lmao

>>69490887
He got his fucking ass kicked when he was with the Vikings. It was pretty pathetic.
>>
He failed in the nfl
He won a fake belt in wwe
He was given a title fight in ufc when he had an overall losing record
He laid on a guy for 3 rds on saturday
He almost died because he couldnt handle ufc training last time.

He roided himself out in college and got away with it to beat 18 year old kids.

"Dominates 4 sports"

Bo Jackson and Deion Sanders are the only two athletes to dominate in more than one sport, and even Deion just gets in by default

No, he just sucks at football compared to the average NFL player. Getting repeated pancaked by 3rd stringers with those athletic gifts is what happens when you're not meant for a sport. In the UFC he's shown he can beat guys that aren't good at wrestling. Pic related is guy who beat Brock in wrestling and is a literal 3x SB Champ.

They pick the guy that either the fans want to win or else they give it to the guy the fans really hate and drag out rivalries forever to the point nobody gives a fuck.

Then again, any real fight fan wouldn't give a shit in the first place because nobody actually gets into a real fight. Only real fights that ever take place happen backstage.

Nobody's denying WWE wrestlers have athleticism but they're the ones deciding to 'compete' in a fake 'sport' when they could train and have all the tools to be ACTUAL fighters.
>>
>>69491015
It's a highly phisically demanding performance art and it does require ahleticism, but it's not a sport.

Golf requires less athleticism than marching band but that doesn't mean marching band (even he competitive kind) is a sport. It, like the WWE and ballet and so many other arts, is performance art.
>>
>>69491273

they get shots or earn a title based on their marketability

just like the UFC

back before I stoped watching routinely there was niggas on the facebook prelims with 3-4 wins in a row by knockouts or submissions and never got brought up cause they didnt speak english or didnt have some meme tattoos or haircut or something else and they werent in the heavier weight classes

CM Punk got a contract based on his publicity yet UFC tries to claim why this-or-that legit MMA guy isnt in already is cause of other shit

how bout the fact they routinely hold guys off cards for some bullshit event in a specific country, then suddenly they have enough Singapore fighter to fill the entire card

and every time they go to Brazil the brazil guys face some clearly non-equal talented white guy from america

how bout all the Jon Jones or the last 5 or so fights that GSP had where he clearly lost atleast 3 of the 5 rounds and kept holding on because the other guy "had to convincingly beat, not just literally win more rounds...as per the rules"

I'm sure the UFC 2 time defending heavyweight champ was tossed around.

But hey man its a real shocker that a dude that never played competitive football on the bigger stages failed to make the most moneymaking sports league on the planet

>>69506175
He did. Sorry I watched all those games. He played with zero leverage and was completely outmuscled by 4th string guys who didn't even make their respective teams.
>>
Didn't he get the main event fight by having like, three or four other main event fights get cancelled for various reasons?

Like, jesus if Kimbo was still alive, he could've easily been main stage at that rate.

He played like, one preseason game for the NFL and then got cut...

And while WWE may be very athletic, they're not a competitive sport, it's a soap opera that merchandises for men.
>>
>>69506549
Kimbo has never even had 1/5th of Brocks star power you worldstar nigger

I've only heard of Brock Lesnar a month ago.

I've known Kimbo since I was a teenager.

>>69507109
I dunno, my line of Sting action figures and the fact I know who John Cena is leads me to believe I should've heard of Brock Lesnar at some point before his MMA head line fight that was only a head line fight because the other fighters couldn't make it.

People have died wrestling. A guy from Mexico recently has died. It takes a lot of athleticism and is a sport. WWE calls itself sports entertainment. Sport is still in there so it is a sport.

I don't care who the fuck died, man. It's not competitive so it's not a sport.

doesn't headline a mania because he's seen as a B+ player, but gets a professional fighting contract based on supposed "publicity"

the fucking current year, i'll tell ya
>>
>>69490887

First off, the only sport he has done at the professional level is MMA. He has only won 2/3 of his fights. That's pretty shitty for someone even being considered for GOAT status.

He is by no means a great fighter if you actually watch him fight. The dude is really uncoordinated. He has no idea how to throw a punch with his weight behind it. He only won because he's a hulking gorilla of a man and there aren't that many other giant gorillas like that around who are any better. When you have that much muscle mass, your tiny lungs just can't oxygenate them all for very long. Heavyweights are usually practically gassed a couple minutes into the first round. Both of them were gassed in his last fight and it was pitiful. He couldn't even raise his upper body enough to punch Hunt when he was on top of him. Hunt offered no resistance, he was just too tired at that point. He just sat there on top of him giving him love taps while time ran out.
I know he's far past his prime, but even in his prime he never knew how to fight and never had any stamina.

Not everything that takes skill and athleticism is a sport. Is circus performing a sport now too?

how goes was he at (american) football? genuinely interested. i'm sure he killed it at college

>>69508070
One and done.

And I'm no talking a season. Or even a game.

One pre-season defensive stand. I think it was like, maybe 5-10 snaps total.

I think everybody is missing the point, OP. Even though I think you shitted on your fingers when you mentioned WWE as a sport, that doesn't mean that he isn't an outstanding athlete. MMA, Jesus Christ, Lesnar is a beast. But you memed again when you said he might be good at football. I seen that shit happen in Brazil with Falcão, god of futsal. Futsal is football in a court instead of a field. Does that make him a monster on football (the real one)? No. Falcão was a complete flop on football. Like me get an even better example. Jarryd Hayne, an amazing rugby player. Rugby and fake football are almost the same, right (for a dumbie)? Yeah, but that didn't make him a beast in the sport. Actually, he's a complete flop. Being good at something doesn't make you also good at an other. I rest my case OP.
>>
>>69507340
Brock Lesnar had all of the """accolades""" the OP listed before he returned to UFC, but it's only after that he's returned that this shit thread gets made. That tripshit hit the nail on the head, /sp/ over responds to everything.

Wow, I just made a fucking huge text and I don't even get a (You).

>>69491273
there was one time they made them wear boxing gloves and fight each other, and not a staged fight, an actual fight fight

of course at the time everybody thought it was fake. for one, wrestling is fake. so when you have a segment on a wrestling show, it's fake.

for two, if this boxing segment is actually real, doesn't that just call attention to the fact that everything else on the show is fake? they wouldn't do that. it's fake.

so a couple guys got fucked up pretty bad but nobody cared
