Outlook - Brock Lesnar is like few others before him and few that will follow. He was a powerhouse amateur wrestler who the WWF signed up and began developing when the wrestling war was still ongoing. He looked very promising throughout his stint in OVW and then was brought up too early (according to many at the time) and was given a huge push with Paul Heyman as his manager. It was a bumpy road at first as the company did not protect Brock in the ring, but finally he was paired with The Undertaker and things began clicking. Lesnar was a brutal heel and eventually turned and became a top star for the next year and a half. Lesnar shocked the world by leaving the WWE to try his hand at pro football and after things didn't pan out, he tried to return to pro-wrestling. The WWE was unwilling to pay him adequately, so he went to Japan and the lawsuits began. Nearing thirty and still very good in the ring. New Japan has given him a monster push, but they are a struggling company.
