Interesting Details On Brock Lesnar’s Out-Of-Character Backstage WWE Incident
WWE Legend Lana shares an interesting detail about an out-of-character backstage moment involving Brock Lesnar.
In her debut Yahoo Sports column, Uncrowned, Perry spoke about her husband Rusev’s matches with Lesnar. She detailed the advice The Beast gave her before they went out in front of the crowd.
Perry praised Lesnar for his high wrestling intelligence and masterful physical storytelling. She also noted that he is among the smartest performers in the business when it comes to crowd engagement.
“Back in 2016 in San Jose, I got to see up close how smart Brock is to this business. It was Brock vs. Rusev on some WWE live events, and my husband and I were just starting out. Before the show, Paul Heyman gave me pointers on part of my promo and then asked Brock what he thought about it.”
“Brock took a second and thought, and then gave me notes on how I could say it. He took what Paul and I had come up with and spun it in a completely different direction by anticipating the audience’s reaction and then having a plan to deal with that reaction.
Lana Reveals Backstage Advice Brock Lesnar Gave Before Rusev Matches
Perry then shared a unique piece of advice that Lesnar gave her, which significantly helped both her and Rusev grow in their pro wrestling careers.
“We went out there that night and did our promo, and the match with Brock vs. Rusev was incredible. When we came back, Brock pulled me aside and gave me notes on my execution.”
“He told me I was “stepping on my own pop by not allowing them to boo longer” and to “wait a bit longer for the crowd to start chanting.” It was incredible advice I got from Brock, and the whole experience really helped Miro and I grow as performers and on the mic.”
“But I was more blown away by how wise Brock was to this business. I guess I bought into what he wants us all to see, which is the Viking destroyer character, but backstage there’s few smarter than him in knowing how to pull the most from a beat, or a movement or a moment.”
Brock Lesnar and Rusev have never faced each other on WWE television, but they did square off twice at live events. Their first clash took place in February 2016 at a live event in San Jose, while their second encounter occurred at a live event in Mexico City. In both matches, The Beast Incarnate dominated The Bulgarian Brute.
Lesnar is set to face Oba Femi at WrestleMania, while Rusev will be part of the Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match as one of the six competitors.
