Former WWE Star Once Revealed How Brock Lesnar Not “Giving a F**k About His Kids” Made Him a Viral Sensation

The Beast Incarnate is one of the most dominating ring performers in WWE’s recent history. Brock Lesnar started out in WWE in 2002 and had an early rise to success. Also, he became the youngest WWE champion.

Lesnar has always been a skilled fighter and has tried his hands in both pro wrestling and MMA. He then became a pro wrestler for WWE and other promotions. Later, he moved into MMA and came back into the WWE.

2016 saw WWE bringing back the draft system, where various superstars got drafted. However, among them was Heath Slater, who was not picked up by any promotion. Slater remained a free agent for a long period and during this time, he was also once involved in a spot with Brock Lesnar.

The spot involved Slater being sent to Suplex-city by Lesnar, and Lesnar even mentioning that he “did not give a f**k” about Heath’s kids. The promo by Slater was appreciated by many, and even landed him his iconic catchphrase, ‘I got kids.’

Slater revealed on Title Match Wrestling about his viral segment with Brock Lesnar. He said, “I am sitting in that promo with Brock. And me and Paul like, with these promos like ‘If I go out there and I can just cut one, I’m pretty good at it but the ones that get me sometimes when there are like interactions promos and you gotta remember like a screenplay.”

Further, the former WWE Superstar also claimed, “You got to remember what you say next, and I got lost. And I’m sitting there, I’m just looking. I’m just like ‘damn I don’t know what to say right now.’ and Heyman’s cutting his line and I’m trying to think what mine is, and it’s just not coming. And I’m like, ‘Do you really think that I wanna get there and get my a** whipped? I know I am, they know I am.’ And I was like, ‘I got kids! I need this job. I have to do this.’”

Slater revealed that once he forgot his lines, he went off-script. However, it was Paul Heyman who brought him back. With Heyman’s help, Slater recollected his lines and finished the promo. But Slater feels that his “I got Kids” line got McMahon’s attention, and he loved it.

Slater’s promo and segment with Brock Lesnar made him an overnight sensation, and his catchphrase soon went viral.

Heath Slater also opened up on working with Brock Lesnar

Speaking on Title Match Wrestling, Slater opened up on Brock Lesnar in WWE. He said, “He’s looking out for him. You know, that’s just how he always has been and that’s how he always will be. You know, he looks out for himself and makes sure he’s okay, and there you go.”

Slater then spoke about working with Brock Lesnar. He said, “Working Brock? You don’t really work Brock. He just throws you around and you just gotta land safely and stuff.” Slater revealed that when Lesnar gives german suplexes to his opponents, they do not need to jump for him.

He said, “All those german suplexes man I’ve taken. He’s laying me flat. Of course, it’s like hurts but it’s just one of those things. You don’t jump for him, you don’t help him. He literally lifts you up and does it. And I am afraid to jump because he is so strong, if I do jump, I’ll probably go over him. He will pick you up if he wants to pick you up. He’ll throw you around if he wants to. He’s that guy.”

The former Nexus member also emphasized that he knows how to take his own bumps and does not get nervous in the ring with Lesnar. Slater said, “I don’t wanna say nervous, because I mean if you think about it when you like in the ring and stuff, I know how to take my own bumps. I know how to protect myself.”

Further, the former WWE Tag-team champion added that he is not nervous against Lesnar in these fights, but would be if ever there is a real fight.
