Paul Heyman Spills The Beans On “Personal Moment” With Brock Lesnar In WWE
Paul Heyman shares a very close bond with Brock Lesnar. He has been managing The Beast Incarnate in WWE for many years.
At WrestleMania 42, Heyman was in Brock Lesnar’s corner when he went against Oba Femi in a singles match. After Lesnar got squashed by Femi, he took off his gloves and put them in the middle of the ring, signaling his retirement from active competition.
After that, Heyman and Brock Lesnar shared a very emotional moment, which saw them sharing a warm embrace with each other before Lesnar waved goodbye to the crowd. A few weeks later, the WWE Universe found out that it was a fake retirement and The Beast Incarnate hasn’t hung up his wrestling boots yet.
Paul Heyman Was “Happy To Participate” In Brock Lesnar’s “Surreal” WrestleMania 42 Moment
Paul Heyman recently sat down for a new interview with Chris Van Vliet on his Insight podcast, where he talked about sharing that personal moment with Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 42.
Heyman stated that he was happy to share the “emotional” moment with The Beast. He added that the fans in the audience should appreciate the fact that they got to experience the moment live.
“I thanked him for everything. He thanked me for everything. I told him that I love him. He told me that he loves me. Then I asked him if he finds it funny that the two of us are standing in the middle of the ring, in the middle of the stadium, in the middle of WrestleMania, being broadcast all over ESPN, telling each other that we love each other.”
“I said, ‘This is kind of a surreal moment.’ He goes, ‘F*ck them! Don’t worry about that, this is just for us.’ Okay, my beast. Happy to happen, happy to participate in the moment. It was just a very personal moment that we were not hesitant to share with the rest of the world. It was a very emotional moment.”
“Indeed he is (still competing). Remember how I felt if I’m an audience member. I would remember how I felt watching it. I’d remember what that moment was. I remember all that it encompassed, and I would be appreciative of the fact that I got to live that moment and experience it and hold it in my data bank as a fan.”
