It’s no secret that Vince McMahon likes Brock Lesnar and considers him to be one of WWE’s top performers since the beginning of his career.
During the recent episode of his podcast, former WWE commentator Jim Ross talked about a number of things and revealed Vince McMahon’s reaction when he first saw the Beast.
According to Ross, they had signed Lesnar but Mr McMahon had forgot who he was and the former WWE employee has to refresh his memory about the former UFC Champion:
“I remember Vince walking out of his office and down [the hall] and I said, ‘Brock Lesnar is here’ and I had to refresh his memory about who that was. No face, no name – Vince didn’t know. And so, I said, ‘he’s standing out here’ and when Vince walked by, he gave him a little wave. He saw, ‘wait a minute, is that what I think it is? Is that 6’3″, 280 [lbs.]? Is that blonde hair? Looks like an angry Viking or a heifer bull.’ So Vince made a little detour, shook Brock’s hand, the rest, as they say, is history.”
Bruce Prichard who was a guest on the podcast then recalled Lesnar’s first words to McMahon and said that the Boss fell in love with him right there:
“I remember Brock saying something like ‘I want to be an entertainer,’ and Vince fell in love with him right there, Vince would have married him right there.”
