As a die hard WWE fan I cannot think of a worse wrestler to celebrate. To have a such a short wrestling career, have a DVD about and then disrespect the business and fans that made you what you were, that's just pathetic.
Brock Lesnar is a very impressive guy to look at. He is strong, poweful and can be very agile in the ring. But his attitude sucks. This DVD celebrates his "career" in such pantomime fashion it makes me sick.
Brock was the youngest EVER WWE champion and got his title shot quicker than any other WWE superstar of ALL TIME. He went a few eeks fighting and destroying no name wrestlers but within a month was walking all over the likes of Kurt Angle, Eddie Guererro, Undertaker and the like. He was talented, don't get me wrong, he was! But he made one mistake.....he got greedy. He was given fame, the world title and quite a bit of creative control by Vince McMahon, but he decided it wasn't enough. He went on to face The Big Show in a stretcher match, which I watch again and again even now! It was a fantastic match, with Brock Lesnar raising the title at the end. His best match of his short career, in my opinion was his match against Kurt Angle at Wrestlemania 19 where Brock attempted a shooting star press half way across thew ring, only to miss judge it slightly and land on his neck. He powered through that match, but still injured himself quite a bit. I liked his character, so would anyone, but he took it for granted and demanded too much from the business that made him.
You think he was happy with his title, the money and fame? No, Not long after this DVD was released he left to become and NFL player. He flopped and is now on the Wrestling indy circuit. There are many other DVD's you can buy if your a WWE fan: Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, Mick Foley, Bret Hart, Chris Benoit and the late great Eddie Guererro. Do not waste your money on this DVD if you are a die hard fan.
