In his autobiography Death Clutch, Brock Lesnar has claimed he loved to work with The Undertaker. Especially, The Beast claimed he happily took the bumps against The Deadman when they initially started feuding.

 Lesnar stated in the book, “Despite our personal differences, working with him was just so easy.”
