"It wasn’t a gift, it was business" - Brock Lesnar reveals his real thoughts on what Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson did for him in WWE
WWE Superstar Brock Lesnar is one of the most reserved personnel in the company, but he revealed his honest feelings about Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson in his autobiography.
Lesnar made history by becoming the youngest WWE Champion of all time when he beat The Rock at SummerSlam 2002 for the title a few months after making his main roster debut. The then 25-year-old Beast Incarnate took gold from The Rock while the latter was at the peak of unparalleled dominance in the business.
Brock Lesnar opened up about working with The Rock in his autobiography Death Clutch. He admitted to hugely appreciating everything The Great One did for him and his family by losing clean. Lesnar argued that what The Rock did was business, as the latter trusted the rising star to "carry the torch."
"I'll always appreciate what Dwayne did for me and my family. I don't know how many other guys Dwayne would have been happy to lose too clean, but he did it for me because he knew I could carry the torch for the company until he got it back. It wasn't a gift. It was business," wrote Lesnar. [H/T Ringside News]
