Brock Lesnar appeared on ESPN Radio’s “Mike & Mike Show” this morning to promote WWE SummerSlam. Below are highlights:
* Brock said it’s been good being back with WWE so far. He says not going back to UFC was a lifestyle choice and a lifestyle commitment. He was forced out of UFC because of his illness but when he was ready to come back he felt like he was cheated out of a few fights. Then it came down to a family lifestyle choice. He says WWE treated him well in 2012 when he came back and it’s now refreshing to be back with the company. Lesnar added that he can come and do his thing when they need him and he’s not always living life on the road. He said Vince McMahon welcomed him back and they see eye to eye now. He said their relationship is better than it has been.
* He said his homecoming at RAW in Minneapolis last night was great. He was asked about UFC 100 or WrestleMania being bigger and he said WrestleMania. Lesnar talked about how you’re able to absorb the crowd in WWE but all he remembers from his UFC days is being a stone cold barbarian killer because it’s a whole different mindset as you’re out to hurt your opponent.
* Working as a heel comes very natural to Lesnar but he’s getting cheered out of the arena now. He says connecting with WWE fans is just like any other sport – without the fans you have nothing.
