We have been told that yesterday at the SmackDown! tapings, Lesnar stood up in front of the entire room at the pre-show meeting and announced he was leaving WWE to persue a career in the National Football League.
Lesnar'c current WWE deal is for seven years. He met with Vince McMahon last Tuesday at the SmackDown! tapings and discussed his concern for his upcoming storyline with The Undertaker where was was supposed to put the character over. Lesnar didn't understand that if he was to be a main event player for the next several years, why was he going to be 'fed' to 'Taker.
He was also upset about going on the recent tour of South Africa where he had to wrestle Hardcore Holly. He felt that he should have been put in a much higher profile match.
From what our sources have told us, Lesnar informed everyone at the meeting that he was miserable in the business. He said that it was not any reflection on the business per se, but he just couldn't find happiness in the industry any more.
Lesnar went on to publicly thank Vince McMahon, Jim Ross and Gerry Brisco "for finding me in college," and thanked Big Show and Paul Heyman for all their help with his career. He told the crew he wouldn't be back and he was said to be very emotional and wished everyone well.

We have been told there was a meeting today to decide what they will do with the match at WMXX between Lesnar and Goldberg. It will be both men's last match, which will make it very tricky to book. It was previously thought that Lesnar would go over Goldberg, but with both men now leaving, the WWE may change their plans for the match.
Sable (Brock's current real life girlfriend), as we reported earlier, was said to be upset backstage but not just because of Brock's decision to leave WWE. She was involved in a backstage scuffle with Torrie Wilson at the tapings which you can read by clicking the headline link on the main page of this website.
The joke in the locker-room with Sable was that she would only appear on the NFL team that Brock applies for as a cheerleader. Just to note, several people have questioned our report of Sable and Brock dating in real life. Sable and Marc Mero split over a year ago and she and Brock have been together for nearly a year now.
There are also several people backstage who are shocked that Brock Lesnar believes he could play for any NFL team.
The general feeling was that Vince McMahon wouldn't be stupid enough to pull a backstage joke like this as it accomplishes nothing. Lesnar has been very down lately backstage and the feeling among just about everyone is WMXX is his last date unless he changes his mind.
We have also talked to friends of Lesnar outside of the wrestling business and they have told us that the current WWE situation is consistent with his current plans. He had talked about the NFL being one possibly but admitted that it was a long shot since he has never played in college.
