"I’m gonna kill him" - Brock Lesnar was allegedly furious with WWE veteran for personally calling Sable
Brock Lesnar is known for his short temper. A WWE veteran recently recalled when The Beast Incarnate threatened to kill him.
Lesnar may not be an active wrestler anymore, but he remains one of the most talked-about wrestlers today.
Speaking on the latest episode of Coach & Bro, former WWE head writer Vince Russo talked about the time he called Sable in hopes of bringing her to TNA. However, he didn't know he spoke to Brock Lesnar over the call, which got him into trouble.
"I wanted to bring Sable into TNA, so when I was in TNA, I called Sable. After my conversation with Sable, my phone rings immediately. It’s Kurt Angle, “Vince, what did you do?!” I’m like, “Kurt, seriously, I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
Russo said the next thing he knew, Lesnar called Kurt Angle and told him that he would kill him since the veteran didn't introduce himself properly.
“Vince I just got off the phone with Brock Lesnar, and he wants to kill you.” What happened was, I called Sable, a dude answered the phone, how am I supposed to know the dude is Brock Lesnar?! I’d never met Brock Lesnar, I never had a conversation…it was Brock Lesnar. “May I please speak to Sable?” He put Sable on the phone, then he calls Kurt “Who is this Vince Russo, I’m gonna kill him” because I didn’t introduce myself, I didn’t know it was Brock Lesnar for crying out loud."
