"I don't want to be his opponent" - WWE Hall of Famer claims Brock Lesnar and 37-year-old star are the most skilled athletes in the company
WWE has some of the most talented superstars in the world, including the likes of Brock Lesnar close to the top of the list. A former World Champion recently claimed that The Beast Incarnate is one of the most skilled athletes in the company.
Earlier this year, Brock Lesnar faced new challenges and challengers under Triple H's new regime. After appearing and competing on six WWE Premium Live Events, The Beast Incarnate finally went on a hiatus after he lost to Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam 2023.
Speaking to Chris Van Vliet on Insight, the two-time WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair spoke about Brock Lesnar. The Nature Boy also claimed that The Beast Incarnate and Charlotte Flair are the most skilled athletes in the company. Check it out:
"She's [Charlotte] the most skilled athlete. She and Brock Lesnar are the two best athletes in the company. It's not even arguable. Brock is a phenomenal athlete, and Brock has learned how to work. I sent him a text the other day I just said, you know, he was so intimidating when he first came in. I had to work with him too. But you know, he's just a big guy with incredible athletic ability... I don't want to be his opponent. Now he's an incredible athlete. And they've got some really good athletes in the company."
