When Brock Lesnar first joined WWE he was quickly pushed to the top of the card, but it wasn’t long before he decided to part ways with the company. It seemed that there was bad blood between the two sides, but Brock returned to WWE in 2012 and he’s had a successful working relationship with the company ever since.
Brock Lesnar and Vince McMahon have certainly had their ups and downs, and during a recent appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, The Beast admitted that at times he and the Chairman of the Board had a love-hate relationship.
“I don’t know, I really can’t compare the two guys. They’re just so… honestly my relationship with Vince is so different than it is with Dana over the years. Vince and I have had a love-hate relationship for the last 20 years, but it’s been good. We got a lot of water under the bridge. I have a lot of respect for both men but dealing with Dana… it’s just a totally different business approach.
“I met Vince when I was younger. I look at Vince as more of a father figure actually, because I’ve learned a lot of things from him and I was able to carry those things over and handle business with Dana. Vince is a self-made person, so is Dana… you know, he took the company [UFC] and made it public, and made it big, big [money].”
Brock Lesnar is currently set to challenge for the WWE Championship at Elimination Chamber on Saturday, February 19th. Stay tuned for more updates as they become available.
