Powerslam magazine did an interview with Brock, so i thought id post the parts concerning wwe.
At Octagonside, The Undertake asked you: "You wanna do this?" What did he mean by "this"? Some believed he was challenging you to face him at Wrestlemania XXVII
I think alot of WWE guys are jealous of me. I could go back and be a pro wrestler and a very good one, any time. None of them can come and be a UFC fighter and do what I have done. Maybe they are jealous that I left that universe and did things my way and have been so successful. Maybe Mark wanted to get some publicity off of me: I don't know. I enjoyed working with The Undertaker when I was in that world. But Mark and I have a mutual friend, and some things have been relayed to me that I don't appreciate him saying about me. Maybe he's jealous. I don't know. I don't care. I haven't spoken to him in over a year, and I have no reason to.
So, was Undertaker going into business for himself then?
These guys were a big part of my life, but years ago. I have legit beef with him. I don't like some things he said about me to a mutual friend. Like I said, not one of the WWE Wrestlers can make the change I did and become a UFC champiom. If Mark meant to call me out for a real fight...Well, he doesn't have a shot in hell, does he? But I don't want to get too caught up on this. I am a TUF coach, then I fight Dos Santos, and then I want Cain and my belt back. I've got my plate full for a long time
So you won't consider a return to wrestling?
I am an Ultimate Fighter. Next question.

That'd pretty interesting. I understand everything he's saying, but damn, he's so cocky. It's probably all true though, lol.

He would kill 'Taker in a real fight. I'm curious as to who this mutual friend is. I bet it's Kurt Angle.

The Miz could make the transition to UFC and KO Lesnar

Lol, what does Undertaker have to be jealous about? The man's a ing icon, something Lesnar will never be. Having said that, Lesnar would kill him in a fight.

Brock tends to forget select details..such as the fact that being in the WWE is what gave him mainstream attention. Yes, he was an NCAA Champion, but he never would have gotten the notariety that he did from thise accolades alone however awesome they are.
Taker, Rock, Hogan and just about everyone else at the time put Brock over to build him as the face of the future. Brock made millions at a very young age and basically collapsed under the pressure..the same pressure that the guys who out him over faced and continue to face this every day.
Taker and every other guy that paved the way for Brock to catapult into the UFC have the right to say whatever they want as Brock consistently brushes off the WWE as if it were a minor phase of his life. That phase enabled him to have the opportunites he has today, including his wife, Sable. Yes, that PPV may not have been the proper forum to discuss grievances it the comment was a shoot, but it's hard toi feel bad after for him after he bailed out of a committment that most guys would kill for, when he walked out of his WWE contract.
I respect Brock's abilities but as a former fan of his WWE tenure, I feel he has dissrespected the business, his peers and those who came before him.
I am also a UFC and enjoyed it when Mir handed him defeat and loved it when he was humbled by Cain.
Brock still hasn't matured in my book and karma can be a bitch.
Say what you will about Cena, Miz, Del Rio, Dolph, Morrison, Truth, Kofi, Sheamus, Orton etc....these guys are enduring the same schedule and are dedicated to the business. Orton & Cena endure a schedule 20 times worse than Brock ever did, and they carry the torch well without hesitation or issue.
I truly hope the WWE never takes Brock back after he becomes nothing more than a glorified UFC gatekeeper when Cain and other new Generation MMA fighters walk all over him.

I respect Lesnar as a fighter, but someone, (I dont know who), needs to fix that attitude problem. Outside the octigon.

Brock acts like he has been some unstoppable force. He's only 5-2-0. And he was given a title shot with only a 1 and 1 record. I think he believes in is own hype a little to much.

How did Brock collapse under pressure? He hated traveling, and he mentions that quite often when WWE is brought up, as do other entertainers. That, and the schedule burned him out.
You have to ask yourself, how much does someone have to put on the line for one company, especially WWE at a young age? Why does one have to spend years in the WWE to become a legend, when they've already been to the top?
Entertainment fans need to lighten up. Once someone 'makes it' in the WWE, it's like they aren't allowed to leave it. The Rock, Brock, Hogan (in the 90's before WCW). The WWE isn't and shouldn't be the end of someones life as a performer.
Why would a fighter doubt himself? What would you rather have him say "Ya know, I may have been the champion of the world...but I don't think I could beat that guy, ever".
As far as we know, which we aren't looking as..is The Undertaker believes his own hype. Brock didn't walk into a WWE arena as a fan and taunt The Undertaker, (although, I'm sure Vince and WWE fans would love that) Undertaker did that for what reason exactly?
So, how is Brock, who's minding his own business, doing what he loves (fighting) doing anything wrong? In comparison to the Undertaker walking into a UFC event trying to challenge Brock to something while cameras are on him?

BS. He's just trying to squash his return to the ring against "taker that never happened due to his UFC contract.

In comparison to the Undertaker walking into a UFC event trying to challenge Brock to something while cameras are on him? How did he collapse under the pressure? By say, walking out of the lucrative, long-term contract he agreed to and signed? In big boy world, that's referred to as "Breach of Contract". "Minding his own business"? The guy is his own biggest mark and fan. He downplays his WWE past yet seems to employ all of the heel trait gimmicks to promote his UFC career. His record is nothing special..he has yet to prove himself and watch where he'll be a year from now...the special attraction on UFC cards fighting new up & coming HW fighters or begging to get back into the WWE. Read up on him a bit...he has even admitted to cracking under pressure.

The guy rarely even does interviews, and I think it's great to have a personality cocky or not in the UFC. Look at other champions like Matt Hughes or BJ Penn...cocky as they come, but they're entertaining to see. I haven't heard much negative stuff from Brock about WWE at all. I think he's been fairly respectful of his WWE past. Brock became champion pretty damn quick, and has quite a few names under his belt for not making a name for himself. He won a title, beat a guy who he couldn't stand in a rematch, submitted another guy who had an undefeated streak (most of the names are slipping my mind right now)..but that's quite the proving grounds right there. Sure, he may have got his ass handed to him in the last fight, and he's not the greatest fighter by far....but he HAS proven himself in that he's a UFC contender. But no one will ever see it that way. He could knock out Anderson Silva (if they were the same weight) and people would still say it was a fluke and that he hadn't proved himself yet. You sure have something against me. I'm just going with the lingo that they themselves use every time I watch the show. Don't take offense to how I word my posts, when it's how they themselves describe what you're watching.

The guy just comes across as cocky here. He's acting as if he is bigger than wrestling himself. Sorry Brock, wake up call. You'll never be as big a name as The Rock, Hulk Hogan and Stone Cold Steve Austin.
That's a fact, in my opinion. People can argue that the UFC is becoming more popular and it certainly is. It is currently significantly more popular than the WWE. However, Brock Lesnar needs to lighten up, swallow his pride and stop believing his own hype.

Very different situation. Austin had been at the top of the business for years by then, working under injuries and such. If Austin was going to crack under the pressure, he would have done a long time earlier than when he left.

People overlook what's not convenient for them. It's not as if they used 'World Wrestling Entertainment' like they did 'World Wrestling Federation' anyway.

The man's a ing icon, something Lesnar will never be. Having said that, Lesnar would kill him in a fight. The Undertaker is a huge MMA fan and I bet it pisses him off someone like Lesnar could cross over and take over his favorite sport. I am glad someone pointed out how stupid the Undertaker sounded when he "challenged" Lesnar to a fight. Why would Brock go back to wrestling, make less money and be seen as a fake athlete play acting again?
