Wrestling veteran Konnan recently revealed an unseen side of WWE star Brock Lesnar. He claimed that ‘The Beast Incarnate’ shed tears after a powerful promo delivered by a 10-time WWE champion.
It is no secret that Lesnar is a man with few words and prefers to communicate through his actions, which showcases his intimidating side. It’s difficult for the WWE Universe to imagine a side of The Beast that is different from his in-ring character, especially a softer side.
However, an incident that occurred during a 2004 episode of Friday Night SmackDown saw late WWE Superstar and legend Eddie Guerrero deliver a deeply personal and emotional promo about the highs and lows of addiction, the toll it took on him and his family, and his ultimate triumph in overcoming it
Guerrero has been a one-time WWE Champion, a two-time European Champion, a one-time United States Champion, a two-time Intercontinental Champion, and a four-time Tag Team Champion.
While speaking on an episode of the Keepin’ It 100 podcast, Konnan revealed that the former world champion’s ‘addiction’ speech sent shockwaves through the fans since it served as a testament to the power of storytelling and evoked genuine emotions.
According to Konnan, Eddie Guerrero described seeing the normally intimidating and unbreakable Brock Lesnar visibly shaken, with tears welling up in his eyes, following the promo.
“He [Eddie Guerrero] told me after the match Brock [Lesnar] was actually crying..after the promo like in the backstage.”
