Brock Lesnar

Brock Edward Lesnar (born on July 12, 1977 in Webster, South Dakota) is a former professional wrestler with World Wrestling Entertainment. He "put his WWE career on hold" in 2004 to pursue a career in professional football. After failing to make the cut in the NFL, he is suing World Wrestling Entertainment to overturn the remaining 6 years of the ten-year no-compete clause included in his original WWE contract. The clause prevents him from signing with another professional wrestling or other professional fighting organisation. During the Spring of 2005, he plans to marry fellow former WWE performer Rena Mero (Sable).

Professional football career

Lesnar failed to make it past a training camp invitation with the Minnesota Vikings and after looking into other teams as well as arena football, filed a lawsuit against the WWE due to signing a worldwide no-compete clause after leaving the WWE and therefore being unable to find work after being cut from the NFL.
