The nine reason why Brock Lesnar left.

Also details on his release and what it means...

Brock Lesnar still has another five years left on his WWE contract which has put WWE in the power position in terms of negotiating his release. Brock parted ways with super agent Barry Bloom after Bloom got him his original WWE contract. It seems likely right now that WWE will not allow him to work for any other pro-wrestling or shoot fight company for the next five years. WWE is expecting Brock to return if he is unable to land a job in the NFL. Despite what some think, Lesnar is not financially set for life. He is very young and spent money freely during the last year or so on expensive cars and other "toys."

At this point, these appear to be the nine reasons why Brock Lesnar left WWE:

1. His travel schedule. Brock has always been a farm boy and he could not handle the hectic schedule, waking up in hotel rooms everyday, etc.

2. He didn't love pro-wrestling. Brock got into wrestling for the money. He actually hated pro-wrestling when he was a standout amateur wrestler.

3. Right or wrong, he really feels he can make it to the NFL. Brock misses being involved in a "real sport."

4. He thought WWE did not appreciate him enough. Brock was not happy with how he was being booked and that he had to drop the WWE Title to a "little guy" like Eddie Guerrero. He wanted a long title reign. Having to work matches against Bob Holly in South Africa made him feel even more demoted.

5. His personal life. Brock is currently living with his young child and the child's mother, while dating Sable. His personal life has added a lot of stress and anxiety.

6. He was embarrassed that walk up ticket sales to WWE house shows went up after he dropped the WWE Title to Eddie Guerrero.

7. He did not want to feud with the Undertaker. 'Taker had been telling people that he would "set Brock straight" and humble him if he didn't show veterans respect.

8. He did not want to end up with serious injuries or be a cripple. He did not like that wrestling had no off season where he could rest his body.

9. He had nothing left to prove. He had already reached the top of the wrestling industry and thought the only place he would go now is down, then back up to where he had already been. He wanted a new challenge.

Shayde ...who?
I agree with him on the Bob Holly thing, but it isn't like Eddie beat him cleanly or anything.

I actually think Brock can make it in the NFL too, he won't be the greatest but he sure can be an average player, I'm just curious as to what team would sign him.

2. You definately need to have a passion to work in this sport

4. Being headlined against Holly would make any one feel demoted

6. People just like Eddie more because he could deliver new stuff, Brock was just the same old thing night fater night, at least HHH can last as a lomg term champ and he doesnt ALWAYS get boring

7. I would be scared too

8. If you do it right you wont end up like that, look at Flair hes 53 and can still deliver like he always has

9. Thats how it would be if you get the championship in a few monthes after your debut, not like everyone else who has to wait years

I agree, except number eight. Flair is a shell of his former self.

Well still, its still pretty cool considering his age of how good of shape he is in and that he can still take bumps really good, compared to Hogan, Slaughter and Piper who although arent bad, but arent nearly as good as they used to be.

When your banned, you're not supposed to make a new user name and come in here again. You've done it twice, now.

We decided to give him another chance. I think he's aware of what he did was wrong, so it's all good.
