Controversial WWE Official Risked Brock Lesnar’s Life That Left Wrestling Legend Furious

WWE saw a major superstar in Brock Lesnar while Jim Ross and Gerald Brisco were scouting for talents. Lesnar was almost 300 pounds, 6 ft 5 inches tall along with incredible agility inside the ring. These abilities indeed made him The Next Big Thing.

While Lesnar was young, he used to perform Shooting Star Press as his finisher move. When he debuted on the main roster, he stopped using the move. However, he climbed the top rope at WrestleMania 19 for performing the move but botched it.

Recently, on the latest episode of Grilling Jr; ‘The Voice of Wrestling’ Jim Ross shared his disappointment with the creative booking for WrestleMania 19 match between Brock Lesnar vs Kurt Angle. He told his co-host, Conrad Thompson, about lashing out at John Laurinaitis for allowing Lesnar to perform the Shooting Star Press.

Ross said, “I don’t need to see a 300-pound guy doing a shooting star press. I really don’t. And when he did it at WrestleMania 19, I was pissed. Why? Why do it? It’s a spot. That’s all it is. A guy that is a national champion should be able to convincingly beat his adversary in a variety of ways without risking his career.”

He added, “If his neck wasn’t 20 inches, and he wasn’t strong as an ox, he could’ve broken his neck on that really easy and we’d be talking about Brock Lesnar in the terms of maybe our old friend Darren Drozdov or something. It just didn’t make any sense. I think Laurinaitis put that together, and I chewed his a** out. ‘Vince liked it.’” 

Even though The Beast used to do the Shooting Star Press perfectly in his OVW days, he hadn’t performed the move for two years. Furthermore, many wrestling veterans had advised The Beast Incarnate not to use the aerial move, as he was a heavyweight wrestler.

Brock Lesnar did not like to shake hands with other superstars every time

Brock Lesnar has always been vocal about the hectic schedule he hated during his first WWE run. Moreover, he could never have his privacy as everybody knew him, so he stayed in his room. However, that’s not the only thing The Beast hated. He did not like shaking hands with everyone.

In his book, Death Clutch, Lesnar states, “Once I got to the arena, I had to shake everyone’s hand. Because that’s the unwritten law. As if God himself made it the 11th commandment.”

There is an unsaid rule in the wrestling business of shaking hands when superstars meet. However, Lesnar was not a fan of the same as he thought it was all so insincere and phony.
