Brock Lesnar has had multiple stints in the WWE over his 21-year association with the promotion. The Beast Incarnate made his debut on RAW in 2002 and soon became a force to reckon with. Over the years, he also underwent changes in gimmicks. Undoubtedly, Lesnar’s most fun gimmick was of Cowboy Brock- wherein he played a cowboy, complete with a hat and overalls. While that was very recent, do you know Lesnar showed a glimpse of his cowboy gimmick nearly two decades ago?

Yes, an old video has resurfaced of the 46-year-old dressed in his cowboy avatar. But when exactly was this?

When Brock Lesnar unknowingly showed his future

Lesnar’s first stint in the WWE lasted for two years- from 2002 to 2004. During this short time, he had managed to win a few championships already, showing a glimpse of the legend he would become. But not just his jostling, Lesnar also, albeit unknowingly, showed one of his future gimmicks- Cowboy Brock. A prominent feature of this gimmick is Lesnar’s cowboy hat, which adds to his characterization.

Lesnar made his debut the night after WrestleMania 18. Just a year later, he was one-half of the talents involved in the main event of the following WrestleMania. At Safeco Field in Seattle, Lesnar locked horns with, Kurt Angle, who he held in high regard.

The event as a whole is considered to be one of the better WrestleManias to have been produced by the WWE.
