The Bloodline’s Special Counsel said, “Brock is an artist. Those are the reports coming out of Louisville and he’s not gonna called up to the main roster and I couldn’t understand what the delay was. I had seen him a couple of times as they had toured in Minneapolis…. Why we are not going this, my god? He is 24 years old, 23 at the time.”

Lesnar’s former Advocate added, “So they bring him up to the TV starting from the dark matches because he had enough and he left Louisville and went back to Minnesota. He said, ‘Whenever you’re ready for me, call me. There is nothing more for me to learn in Louisville. I’m ready to go. If you don’t wanna use me, my contract’s gonna run up and I’m gonna find something else to do with my life.”

As per Heyman’s words on the podcast, we can assume Lesnar believed in himself and his ability. The Beast Incarnate debuted in 2002 and quickly became a major star of the WWE roster. Since then for over 20 years he has made a huge name in WWE, NJPW, and even UFC. Moreover, The 57-year-old also shared what made Lesnar different from other stars.
