[edit] Picture

I think a new picture of him before his first UFC fight should be put up. The one of the page is so old.

Here is a link to a great picture. <a href="http://www.sherdog.com/"><img src="http://www.sherdog.com/_images/pictures/55/55446.jpg" border="0" width="300" alt="Brock Lesnar "></a>

Thank you, but Wikipedia's image use policy explains why we can't use this picture. The image needs to be licensed under a "free" license, which this one doesn't seem to be. Sancho 22:30, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Contradictions

"I got zero college offers for wrestling."

Check this out it completely comtradicts what he says in this video (2:05-2:08).

Also, I am from South Dakota, and happen to know for a fact he never won state, so how did he go 33-0 his senior year in wrestling. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.33.231.102 (talk) 00:45, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Brock Lesnar got Third in State his senior year. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SKaRoCkS (talk • contribs) 01:16, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] GAN

The article was apparently promoted here but no such review ever took place. I have reverted the decision. D.M.N. (talk) 20:03, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Certainly, did you restored them back at the GAN page? - Caribbean~H.Q. 20:05, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Yup. I've left a comment on Ziggy Sawdust's talkpage too. D.M.N. (talk) 20:07, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

I saw John Madsen from Doland, South Dakota beat Brock Lesnar in his senior year. A guy name Brian Van Emmerick won the state heavyweight title when Lesnar was a senior. Weezie81 (talk) 04:42, 6 June 2008 (UTC) Ian

[edit] GA on hold

What makes 100megsfree4.com/wiawrestling a reliable source? The cite template for ref #17 needs cleaning up, and ref #38 needs retrieval date & publisher. naerii - talk 02:04, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Y Done. I don't believe that site is in fact a reliable source, so I replaced it. King iMatthew 2008 10:37, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

This GAN has passed, and this is now a good article! If you found this review helpful, please consider helping out a fellow editor by reviewing another good article nomination. Help and advice on how to do so is available at Wikipedia:Reviewing good articles, and you can ask for the help of a GAN mentor, if you wish.

[edit] Brock Lesnar's new opponent at UFC 87

While it hasn't been announced by UFC's official site... It's been confirmed on MMAweekly.com that Brock's opponent for UFC 87 will be Heath "Texas Crazy Horse" Herring. I was going to edit the article with this information, but I am new and don't know how/if I can do that.

Here's the direct link to the article on MMAweekly... [2]

[edit] About his football career...

There is false information: Lesnar played for the Minnesota Vikings, where he created controversy in some games by starting minor fights and got heat from the Kansas City Chiefs for a sack on quarterback Damon Huard, which drew a big response from the crowd of 6,000.[52] Huard was knocked silly and had to go to the sidelines and sit out a few plays.[52] Giving hard hits to quarterbacks in scrimmages violates unwritten rules of professional football, and the Chiefs were not too happy with him

The way that it is worded makes it seem as if he did something bad, which he did not. Hitting the quarterback in scrimmage hard, is NOT an unwritten rule and the chiefs recognized it as a regular play.

If this is not changed then i will have to contact wikipedia authorities immediately —Preceding unsigned comment added by Clubberlng99 (talk • contribs) 16:17, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
