21 Years After Getting Beaten by Brock Lesnar in Under Six Minutes, WWE Hall of Famer Calls Him “One of the Most Outstanding Individuals

Brock Lesnar has been a top guy for Vince McMahon since his shocking debut after WrestleMania X-8 2002. He won the WWE Championship defeating The Rock in the 2002 Summer Slam, thus becoming the youngest Champion then. After his short stint in WWE,  he crossed over to MMA and there he won the UFC Championship.

Since then, almost everybody has accepted him as a legitimate fighter which has brought laurels to WWE and Lesnar. A recent podcast has added one more admirer of Brock Lesnar who feels Lesnar is one of the most outstanding individuals.

RVD feels Brock Lesnar is good for Business

During Lesnar’s meteoric rise in 2002, The Beast slayed many greats of the sport, including The Immortal Hulk Hogan. One of the greats in this list included WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam who once lost his match against Lesnar in under six minutes in 2002. 

1 of a kind with RVD podcast features WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam and host Dominic DeAngelo. They released episode 14 of their podcast on 22nd August which was titled “Shawn Michaels”. During the podcast, RVD briefly touched upon the meteoric rise of Brock Lesnar during his first run from 2002 to 2004.

He said “Brock Lesnar is, in my opinion, one of the most outstanding individuals to be in the industry. The fact that he can be the UFC Champion at the same time, and legitimately brag about being the toughest guy in the world … that’s so good for the business. And he’s so good for the business. He’s what a pro wrestler should be — he’s a great amateur wrestler that went pro because he was so damn good.”

RVD shares an opinion similar to that of many regarding Lesnar. He too feels that Lesnar brought legitimacy to his profile as a pro wrestler when he became UFC Heavyweight Champion. It turned out to be a good decision for Lesnar and WWE. As per RVD, that’s what an ideal pro wrestler should be.
