Brock Lesnar quits Wrestling and tries at the NFL:

26-year-old, 6-foot-4, 290-pound—pretty much all muscle—Brock Lesnar is quitting Wrestling and trying to make it in the NFL. Being in both sports is not rare; many wrestlers were former NFLers. What is rare—I think Lesnar would be the first—is that he is trying to go from Wrestling to the NFL—all the others started with football first.

Lesnar didn’t play college football, but was a star college athlete. He was the 2000 NCAA heavyweight wrestling champion for Minnesota. And based on what I’ve seen from such big wrestlers in no-hold-barred circumstances, they are some of the most effective and dangerous martial artists on the planet.

Next I’d love to see Lesnar join the UFC. I’m sure he could thrive there too. In a hypothetical no holds barred fight between Lesnar and the late Bruce Lee, I’d put all my money—literally the mortgage to my house—on Lesnar, and I doubt the fight would last more than a few seconds.

Hi,

I have been trying to search for Undertaker videos or dvd's to buy.

Can you recommend something in case you know where to order?

Thanks!
