“He Is a Difference Maker”: Jim Ross Credits 58-Year-Old ‘Side-Guy’ As the Catalyst for Brock Lesnar’s Staggering Numbers

With Brock Lesnar making a name as one of the biggest wrestlers in modern times, the impact his former manager had on his career is timeless. The Beast has been a force to be reckoned with in the pro wrestling world for the last two decades. But do you believe that he owes most of his success to Roman Reigns’ present special counsel? Well, WWE veteran Jim Ross does.

The legendary mouthpiece has been glued to The Tribal Chief in his journey to the top. His incredible promo and brilliant strategy kept Reigns ahead of the times. That said, before Reigns enjoyed the privilege of having the most prized manager of all time by his side, Brock Lesnar and CM Punk reaped his benefits. According to Jim Ross, Brock Lesnar’s sky-high records without The Wise Man by his side are subject to serious questioning.

Jim Ross credits Lesnar’s former manager for elevating his career

Brock Lesnar’s rich history with The Beast Incarnate inside and outside of WWE has been a memory worth reliving. He has been ruling the WWE Universe as the next big thing for the company from his rookie days and he did so next to the astounding mind of manager Paul Heyman.

While the two men might be very different in nature, this seemed to be the main force behind their chemistry. Heyman was the herald of Lesnar’s unbridled destructive force and was the one to bring fans in.

Recalling that unbelievably odd yet supremely harmonized chemistry between the iconic wrestler-manager duo, WWE veteran Jim Ross added some extra spotlight to Heyman. He said that Brock Lesnar couldn’t have reached this zenith of success if Heyman hadn’t had his back for a longs time.

During a recent episode of the 71-year-old’s podcast, Grilling JR, Ross said, ”The success that Punk had and the success that Brock had wouldn’t have been as successful if Heyman wasn’t in the picture. Heyman is a difference-maker. He made those guys special. And what Paul did for Brock Lesnar I mean my god I don’t know how much money Brock Lesnar has made for the company, but it’s got to be staggering.’‘

Back in 2020, due to contract negotiations, Heyman joined forces with Roman Reigns and helped him find his footing as a new heel, but he remained loyal to Lesnar outside the ring.

Paul Heyman recently spilled info on their off-screen dynamic

Brock Lesnar is forever Paul Heyman’s guy regardless of their association in the ring. The duo have become very close friends during their prolonged tenure together. The bond is what made their professional encounters so enchanting.

Breaking the silence on their backstage friendship, the Wise Man spilled in a recent interview that Lesnar has even said ‘I love you’ to him in an open forum. Unbelievable stuff for an eternal poker face like Lesnar! To Heyman also, it hit as a massive surprise.

The Bloodline member noted that he believes he is probably the only man except his family to whom Lesnar expressed his soft side to, especially in a public place.
