Brock Lesnar has opened up about breaking the streak.
The Beast Incarnate recently made a rare appearance on the Spittin’ Chiclets podcast. He talked about things such as how being a proud father trumps all his other accomplishments, how the WWE locker room environment has changed since he first joined the company, and more.
During the talk, the former World Champion also opened up about one of the most divisive moments of his career - when he broke Undertaker's famous WrestleMania streak. Brock Lesnar said that Taker is a great guy but explained that at the end of the day it's a business. According to him, the business revolves around giving and taking, and it was time for him to take:
Obviously it wasn’t my call to make. At the time, Vince McMahon, if there was a person that could take the streak away with a legitimate background and people could believe it, I guess it was me. There’s a lot of people that are pissed that it’s me, but it’s not my call.
I Also Felt Bad: Brock Lesnar
Brock Lesnar then discussed Undertaker getting concussed in their WrestleMania 30 match. The former UFC star said that you just have to do the best you can to get through in a situation like that. The 48-year-old also explained that he went to the hospital after their match to make sure Taker was ok because he respected The Dead Man:
He was a mentor of mine. Like, I worked with Taker for many years. And so now we’re out in this match and Taker got hit left field day of. He’s coming to his [22nd] WrestleMania thinking that he’s going to win and then two hours before we go on, the rug gets pulled on him. And so a lot of different emotions there, I’m sure. I was excited, but I also felt bad too. Like, I’m the guy and I get to be the guy.
Apart from this, Brock Lesnar opened up about his WrestlePalooza return. The Monster-Sized Athlete suggested his latest WWE run would not be a long one. You can check out his remarks on the matter here.
