“Pro Wrestling Isn’t Ballet” – WWE Legend Reveals an Intriguing Truth Behind Brock Lesnar’s Destructive Style of Wrestling

WWE unlike UFC has storylines and fights that are scripted in advance. Fans know that very well and still pack stadiums just to see their favorite stars in action. But that said, the moves that the wrestlers perform in the ring are very real and sometimes cause devastating injuries. Hence wrestlers need to be extra careful when performing high-risk maneuvers or even kicks. And on the current roster, only one wrestler is infamous for his brutal style of wrestling and his name is Brock Lesnar.

But a tag team legend revealed that in spite of Lesnar’s vicious in-ring persona, he is indeed very professional.

Matt Hardy says that Brock Lesnar is “very safe” inside the ring

When it comes to Brock Lesnar’s rage, who knows it better than the ‘Hardy Boyz’. They were the first legit feud that Brock had in the WWE. It all started with Lesnar pulverizing the two brothers during their tag-team match. The next week both the brothers savagely attacked Lesnar in the middle of the ring with two massive chair shots. Despite that, Lesnar was still standing strong.

Lesnar went on to face both brothers individually, destroying each of them in the process. Then finally at ‘Judgement Day’ in 2002, there was a tag team match between ‘The Hardy Boyz’ and Lesnar and Paul Heyman. Both brothers put on a tough fight but when you are faced with someone like Lesnar, defeat is not far away. And in the end, Heyman pinned Jeff Hardy to win the match.

On a recent episode of his podcast ‘The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy’, Matt Hardy discussed their rivalry with Lesnar and said that he was quite safe in the ring. Matt Hardy stated, “He was very aggressive, I mean he laid stuff but he was also very safe. That one thing I can always say about Brock because there are guys who can lay stuff in. Pro wrestling isn’t Ballet, you will get hit.”

But in spite of being quite safe in the ring, Matt Hardy was at the receiving end of Lesnar’s brutal attack on SmackDown.
