Brock Lesnar's destruction during major Roman Reigns moment called "second nature" for The Beast by veteran: "The problem was Kurt Angle"
Brock Lesnar has had some of the most destructive and dangerous matches in the history of the industry. One of the most brutal matches of his career came at Summerslam 2022 when he challenged Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship in a Last Man Standing Match.
The Beast Incarnate entered the arena driving a tractor, making a plethora of headlines around the world. However, during the match, Lesnar used the tractor to pick up the entire ring from one side, leaving the WWE Universe in shock. This was etched in the history books as it reminded fans of another incident when a large vehicle rolled out to the arena and gave birth to a legendary moment.
In a recent episode of Sportskeeda's exclusive 'What were you thinking?' show, JBL addressed the incident and named Lesnar and Stone Cold Steve Austin as ones who could easily drive large vehicles in the arena. Not only that, but the veteran also addressed Brock Lesnar's driving as "second nature," and called out Kurt Angle for his driving.
"You know, Stone Cold was good to drive anything. And Brock Lesnar can drive anything. You know, he's a farm boy, grew up, you know, driving all kinds of stuff. So, you stick Brock on a four-wheeler. I mean, that's easy for Brock. That's second nature. You know, he did stuff like that. The problem was Kurt Angle," said JBL [8:46 onwards]
Why was Kurt Angle a 'problem' when compared to Brock Lesnar?
While Brock Lesnar's driving skills were described as second nature to The Beast, JBL called Kurt Angle a 'problem'. Further in the same Sportskeeda exclusive show, Gerald Brisco addressed the Olympic Gold medalist's driving skills and applauded the veteran for driving the milk van into the arena.
"Kurt drove around those little BMWs all the time. So he goes from a BMW to an extra-long milk truck there. So you gotta give Kurt credit there. Sometimes I wonder, 'Kurt, what were you thinking when you did it?’ I used to ask Kurt, 'cause I got the same question. ‘You're an Olympic Gold medalist. What do your former teammates say to you when they see you doing some of that stuff?’ And he said, ‘Well, they know me. They know the real, real Kurt Angle,’" said Gerald Brisco [9:15 onwards]
While WWE has not showcased a lot of instances featuring large vehicles being driven in the arena lately, any other incident like this would undoubtedly turn iconic. It would be interesting to see if the Stamford-based company features any other incident similar to this.
