Brock Lesnar joined WWE in 2000. From the beginning of his tenure in the Stamford-based promotion, Paul Heyman was there to guide him to the top. Currently, Heyman serves as the Special Counsel for his Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns. However, he was beside Lesnar for most of his WWE career.
He served as the manager for ‘The Beast Incarnate’ for almost half a dozen years. Plus, they are also great friends. Thus, he knows his former client on a deeper level. Lesnar is a man of many talents. But there is one talent that Heyman admires the most and it has something to do with Vince McMahon.
Mr. McMahon and Lesnar are complete opposites in the sense that the former’s greatest strength is his mind and the latter’s is his body. But according to the 57-year-old wrestling manager, both the stars have something in common.
