'''Brock Edward Lesnar''' (born [[July 12]], [[1977]]) is an [[United States|American]] [[mixed martial arts|mixed martial artist]] and former [[amateur wrestling|amateur wrestler]], best known for his [[professional wrestling]] career in [[World Wrestling Entertainment]] (WWE). He left wrestling to pursue a career in the [[National Football League|NFL]] where he played for the [[Minnesota Vikings]]. He has also competed in [[New Japan Pro Wrestling]] and is currently under contract with [[K-1|K-1 Hero's]]. |
|||
==Career== |
|||
'''Amateur Wrestling''' |
|||
Lesnar finished his amateur career as a four time all-American, two time big-ten Champion and the [[2000]] [[National Collegiate Athletic Association|NCAA heavyweight champion]] with a record of 106-5 overall in four years of college. |
|||
'''World Wrestling Federation / Entertainment''' |
|||
In Late 2000 that year he switched from [[amateur wrestling]] to [[professional wrestling]] and joined [[WWE]] (then WWF), where he went on to win its developmental territory ([[Ohio Valley Wrestling]]) tag team championship on three occasions in [[2001]], with his former college rommate and assistant coach, [[Shelton Benjamin]]. As Lesnar joined the main roster in [[2002]], he soon earned a shot at the [[WWE Undisputed Championship]], after winning the 2002 [[King of the Ring]] tournament. He defeated [[The Rock (entertainer)|The Rock]] to become the youngest [[WWE Championship|WWE Champion]] at 25. He then entered a feud with [[The Undertaker]], whom he shockingly defeated respectively inside a [[Hell in a Cell]], Undertaker´s supposedly own game. |
|||
Lesnar continued to rise in WWE and showed much potential, becoming a 3-time WWE Champion, defeating [[Kurt Angle]] twice for the title. But as [[Wrestlemania]] was approaching in [[2004]], Lesnar made his notice to WWE that he was leaving to pursue a career in the [[NFL]].<ref>[http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/2004/03/16/384461.html Brock Lesnar speaks on starting with the NFL]</ref> At Wrestlemania, Lesnar lost to [[Bill Goldberg]] in his last WWE match. |
|||
'''National Football League''' |
|||
Lesnar played for the [[Minnesota Vikings]], where he created minor fights in some games, and received heat for sack on QB [[Damon Huard]], which drew a big responce from a crowd of 6.000. Giving hard hits to QB's in scrimmages violates an unwritting understanding, and Huard had to go to the sidelines and sit out a few plays. Lesnar was featured on [[Sports Center]] on more than one occasion for his actions. After suffering an injury in the summer of 2004, Lesnar was soon cut from the team and made no attempts to continue his NFL career. |
|||
'''New Japan Pro Wrestling''' |
|||
In [[2005]], Lesnar joined [[New Japan Pro Wrestling]] and won the [[IWGP World Heavyweight Championship]]. Lesnar went on to defend the title against [[Shinsuke Nakamura]], [[Akebono Taro|Akebono]] and [[Giant Bernard]], before being stripped of the title in [[2006]]. |
|||
'''Mixed Martial Arts''' |
|||
On [[12 August]], [[2006]], Lesnar officially announced that he has joined Japan’s [[Mixed martial arts]] promotion, [[K-1|K-1 Hero´s]], and will have his first match on [[May 19]], [[2007]].<ref>[http://www.mmaweekly.com/absolutenm/templates/dailynews.asp?articleid=2488&zoneid=3 Brock Lesnar joins K-1]</ref> |
