And, um, coming off of Summer Slam, I, I think the most notable news, uh, that's probably the most news as of late, right? We fast-forward to Brock Lesnar's official retirement.
Um, Brock Lesnar, 49 years old, makes his retirement only 400 or so matches in his career, which is very little.
There's probably some people who got called up from NXT two years ago who have more than that.
Uh, so what do you make, well like, what, what to, to me is, is the lasting image o- of, of Brock Lesnar, and why? We all know he's a Hall of Famer.
Why is he a Hall of Famer? A- a- and what is it that you enjoyed most about Brock Lesnar in his time?
I think he, in a way, he brought some of that, like, realism to the, to WWE where, 'cause he, he was a legit badass.
Like, you know, he went to the UFC, won the championship over there, came back and, you know, he, he just tore, he tore the house down.
'Cause h- here's the thing, you know, not, and I'm not trying to say this in a bad way, but there are some wrestlers that we have in WWE that if you saw them on the street, maybe a person that's a little bit more trained in, like, the MMA style could take them in a one-on-one situation, uh, you know, more times than not.
Brock Lesnar, when he walks, when he walks into a room and you see the ears, the cauliflower ears, you're not gonna mess with a guy with cauliflower ears.
And I think Brock brought that toughness That style, you know, he brought more attention to it and he had, I think there was some crossover between WWE and UFC, obviously with, with Brock Lesnar.
And I, I don't think Ronda Rousey comes, comes to WWE if it wasn't for a Brock Lesnar.
