Brock Lesnar Explains Why He Left WWE; His Future, moreThanks to Natron who sent the following notes from Brock Lesnar's interview on KFAN this morning.
- Lesnar despite what was reported on websites about his unhappiness with the business, his leaving was only about the travel and being away from his daughter.
- He said that Vince McMahon took very good care of him, and thanked Vince several times.
- He confirmed that he was looking for a tryout with any NFL team, but if he had his choice, he'd like to be a Minnesota Viking.
- When asked if the NFL chemical testing would be an issue for him. He stated that he didn't think it would be an issue (interesting to note that he didn't come right out and give an emphatic "NO").
- When asked what position he would play, He said that he didn't really know, but would want to be on defense.
- Lesnar said that he plans to take about a week off and then will be entering a training program at Arizona State University for about a month and a half.
- He was asked if he would be willing to go to the CFL or NFL Europe to cut his teeth and said he didn't think we would do that.
- He confirmed that he hasn't closed the door completely on returning to the WWE, but he didn't think that it would happen any time in the near future, and would hinge on the outcome of the NFL pursuit.
