Let's not pretend that there was any sort of future for them.
The idea of Brock even existing just isnt fair
He's huge as fuck, fast as fuck, powerful as fuck and athletic as fuck.
For anyone who missed it, here's Jay Lethal vs El Ligero from last night's WCPW Loaded:

Avoid if your name is Vader and you detest fun.
Dude is lean as hell.

I guess this is what happens when you're in intensive training for something you care about
I'm legitimately curious about this.
Is Brock really the freak of nature he's made out to be, or is he more or less what you'd expect from an NFL player?
Not to say that professional athletes aren't freaks of nature. I'm just curious to know if Brock is comparable to the world's greatest athletes, or is he just one of the greatest athletes who are also pro wrestlers?
Indeed my friend, obviously you know he gives no fucks about wrestling. But he doesn't even look like himself.I guess this is what happens when you're in intensive training for something you care about

One time I looked at his NFL combine evaluation stats. One of the stats is how many times you can bench press 225lbs.
He had the 3rd highest ever score, 40-something reps.
the hell? 40 something is 3rd highest ever?
Shit, I'm stronger than I thought.
40+ reps of 225 in one set is a crazy combo of strength and endurance.the hell? 40 something is 3rd highest ever?
Shit, I'm stronger than I thought.
The record holder didn't even get past practice squad.
When do ratings come out?
1997 King Of The Ring :
This was a solid 3 match card. The semi-finals for the KOTR weren't bad, but you really want to see the finals with Mankind vs Triple H. They're really starting to push Mankind as a sympathetic underdog and he puts on a hell of a performance against the soon to be Game.
We were supposed to get HBK vs Bret here, but this is the feud that always seems to find a way to not happen so instead we get a stellar HBK vs Stone Cold brawl. They play up the "we're tag team champions, but we'll kick each other's ass" bit perfectly and it makes for a good one.
Undertaker vs Farooq was better than I expected. This match always felt like it was a level beneath everything else that was going on, even with the Undertaker character. But the match was a good one.
I'd give it 3 / 5 for this show.
Stone Cold vs Pillman tomorrow night on Raw!
So did Brock not make the cut when he tried out for the NFL or did he just not want to play football?
Foley was just earning some bucks, nothing wrong with that 😂If any of you unfollowed Mick Foley on Facebook, he has dropped doing the George Takei thing and gone back to being real.
That HBK match with Austin might be my favorite surprise match of his. It came out of nowhere and is just amazing fun. I know about the Ladder Match, the Taker Retirement Matches, even the Iron Man and Mankind Mind Games match, but no one talks about this gem.
I really miss Austin and Pillman as a team.1997 King Of The Ring :

Interesting.That's because the Vikings were going to send him to NFL Europe to get more acquainted with the sport. He was still green despite explosive combine numbers.
If he put forth 100% effort he could've been a player in the league.

On Bret Hart’s most recent podcast, the Hitman told a crazy story about a locker room strip club trip in the earlier nineties.
According to Bret, Vince McMahon got a little intoxicated and was in – quote – “full party mode.” Seeing this, Hulk Hogan decided to play a joke on his boss – convincing Hawk from the Legion of Doom that it would be a great idea to do their Doomsday Device finishing move on Vince McMahon in the middle of the club.
So that’s what they did. Of course, it being the boss, Hawk went a bit light on the clothesline, and the other wrestlers caught Vince on the way down.
But this didn’t sit well with Jim Neidhart – Bret’s then-tag team partner – who turned to the Hitman and insisted the Hart Foundation wouldn’t have pulled their punch. Bret, thinking Neidhart was joking, agreed. But when he turns round after getting a drink, he sees Neidhart bearhugging Vince, ready for Bret to hit him with the Hart Attack.
Not wanting to look like a “powderpuff” (his words, not mine), Bret says he hit Vince with the hardest running clothesline that he could muster. They both fell to the cement floor, hitting their heads as they landed. Vince blearily then turns to Bret and says: “You owe me a drink!”
That’s not the end of the story though.
Years later, after Vince had neck surgery, the boss told Bret he had no idea how he’d injured his neck. Bret reminded him of the clothesline incident, to which Vince replied: “Maybe it was.”
I'm not a huge fan of them or anything, but it was still sad to watch them get squashed by Golden Truth.I think I might be the only one bummed about the Vaudevillians. We could have gotten a legitimate heel team but instead they let it fizzle out.
How no one ever died during these outings is a mystery to me. Although Shawn did almost get killed by that Marine that one time.Fun Vince story from Bret Hart
