Lesnar willed his way thru 1st rd. Carwin hvy hands. Lesnar & team heading 2 Minn 2nite. Brock’s new outlook on life is really amazing. His illness made him a better man & a better fighter. Great seeing Austin & Rock together after Lesnar fight talking old times & movies. Both those guys ‘felt it’ & never played role of wrestler.”

He showed a lot of class after the fight. I smell a rematch. damn what a night…Brock makes a triumphant comeback…and drinks with Goldberg… Headed back to L.A. No hangover…but I can tell I had a few.
