Ric Flair Reveals Who Looked Like a Real Threat to Brock Lesnar in WWE

Brock Lesnar looks like a moving truck and hits like one as well. Time and time again, The Beast has pulled off incredible feats inside the squared circle that sometimes it gets hard to fathom.

However, two-time WWE Hall of Famer, Ric Flair recently confessed on his podcast that there was one wrestler who was a legitimate threat to Lesnar, and that was former NXT champion, Samoa Joe.

WWE even went ahead with the idea of Samoa Joe taking on Brock Lesnar and the WWE Universe couldn’t ask for a better opponent for Lesnar. Eventually, Lesnar came on top, but Flair revealed that Joe was the one who made things “believable”.

‘The Nature Boy’ Ric Flair, on his ‘Wooooo Nation Uncensored’ podcast, praised Samoa Joe, saying that he loves the in-ring ability of Samoa Joe and said he looked like a legitimate threat to Lesnar when the two were feuding in WWE.

Ric Flair thinks Samoa Joe made it “believable” while feuding with Brock Lesnar

During his podcast, when The Nature Boy was asked about his thoughts on the former NXT champion, Samoa Joe, Flair immediately confessed that he likes him and thinks that he is a formidable performer inside the ring.

However, Flair reflected back to the time when Joe and Lesnar were feuding in WWE and the WWE Universe saw the true physical capability of the former TNA performer when he choked out Lesnar.

“I like [Samoa] Joe a lot. I was with him at TNA. And then, of course, I spent some time with him at WWE when I was, you know, going over there and, you know, visiting with Ashley [Charlotte Flair] and all the kids. I think he’s good on the mic. You know he is one of the few guys that when he grabbed [Brock] Lesnar, it was believable”

“To me, he’s very talented. I knew he had an injury but I can’t remember what kind it was. He and I have talked, and I enjoy being around him, he’s a very nice guy.” said Flair.

Currently, Joe is out of action because of his injury after his title victory against the former WWE superstar, Karrion Kross. The three-time NXT champion has not mentioned any timeline about his return, but the WWE Universe is positive.
