WWE is not the only company interested in setting up a Brock Lesnar pro wrestling match now that he has quit MMA. Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that Simon Kelly Inoki, a promoter out in Japan, is trying to put together a Brock Lesnar vs. Fedor Emelianenko dream match but have it a pro wrestling bout for the IGF Promotion. Though the chances of it happening don’t seem very likely.
Inoki would need to strike a deal with UFC and also front up more money than Vince McMahon who would no doubt want first dibs on a Lesnar pro wrestling match and Lesnar, who doesn’t like traveling, would be difficult to convince to make the long trip to Asia. Plus Inoki would have to get over the hurdle of convincing Fedor to try out a pro wrestling match.
The Russian MMA fighter is such a respected shoot fighter that the deal would probably have to be historic to get him interested. However money always talks if enough is offered.

You know..why not?
I mean REALLY….I am a fedor fan but man if this happens it needs to be a mma fight….Fedor is a great fighter was the best back 4 or 5 yrs ago and still is very dangerous but man his management ruined him
really this is going to suck cause fedor is mma fighter not a fake wwe fighter
I have too much respect for Fedor and would be a bit upset to see him compete in a fake wrestling match. They should make it into a real mma fight, should still bring a lot of excitement and media for sure. I doubt it will ever happen, too many obstacles.
