It’s clear that Vince McMahon loves Brock Lesnar, maybe even dreams about “The Beast Incarnate,” but Matt Hardy takes that dream to a whole new level.
Speaking on the latest “Extreme Life” podcast, Hardy and co-host Jon Alba got onto the discussion of Lesnar’s presence in pro wrestling, particularly in WWE, and Matt made note of the affection McMahon has for the once “Next Big Thing.”
“You look at Brock. That is Vince’s wet dream. That is what Vince wants.
“(Brock’s) a big ass guy who’s just as tough as hell… someone who isn’t complicated, someone who is very easygoing to work with, especially at that stage of his career, right when he was starting.”
The love from McMahon to Lesnar goes both ways too. Back when McMahon first stepped down as WWE Chairman and CEO last year, it was reported Lesnar walked out of SmackDown before being convinced to come back to the arena.
Brock Lesnar Has A History With Matt Hardy
Matt and his brother Jeff Hardy have worked with Brock Lesnar before, specifically in Lesnar’s early days with WWE as two of his earliest targets. All three obviously remain active today, but Brock appears to be on an extended hiatus following his SummerSlam rubber match against Cody Rhodes. Matt however, knows Lesnar had to have caught Vince McMahon’s eye early on.
“When he walks in a crowd Brock Lesnar looks like something f**king special. He really does.
“He stands out as a very special human being, and on top of that he was a special athlete, so he was Vince’s wet dream, no doubt.”
