Recently, The Undertaker discussed his long-standing friendship with Brock Lesnar, a former WWE World Champion. Lesnar won their most famous match at Wrestlemania 30 in 2014, when the two wrestlers squared off in a series of high-profile matches.
The Undertaker admitted in an interview with Inside The Ropes that he and Lesnar have always been close. He recalled giving Lesnar advice in 2004 when he was considering quitting WWE because of the exhausting schedule and lifestyle.
Lesnar was encouraged to take advantage of other opportunities by The Undertaker, who shared his perspective despite the advice of others. Additionally, The Undertaker lauded Lesnar's talent and business expertise, stating that Lesnar does not receive sufficient praise for his shrewdness.
The former World Champion of WWE acknowledged that WWE would always be there for Lesnar and that his career resumed precisely where it had left off upon his return. Lesnar defeated The Undertaker in their most famous match at Wrestlemania 30 in 2014, becoming "the one in 21-1." However, The Undertaker has since stated that he did not believe that Lesnar required that victory and that the finish was altered on the day of the event.
The Undertaker even cheated his way to winning at SummerSlam 2015 as the two wrestlers continued to compete in subsequent matches. However, in their Hell in a Cell match, Lesnar prevailed.
Success Outside of Wrestling for Lesnar
Lesnar's praise for his business acumen from The Undertaker is not without merit.
Outside of wrestling, Lesnar has succeeded in other endeavors, such as his time in the UFC, where he won the heavyweight championship. He has also appeared in movies and television shows, most notably as Eddie Brock/Venom in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Lesnar and The Undertaker have both had successful careers in WWE, and in 2022, The Undertaker will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. Given his numerous championships and memorable matches, there is a lot of speculation that Lesnar will join him there in the future.
The Undertaker's recent interview sheds light on Lesnar's talent, business acumen, and friendship with the wrestler. In WWE, their rivalry has resulted in memorable matches that fans will remember for years.
