Back in the early 2000s, when Lesnar was first introduced in the WWE, he was annihilating everyone in his course. Lesnar was introduced as a formidable competitor in WWE and he’s still managed to maintain that persona. But a wrestler from The Attitude Era revealed his backstage feud with The Beast.

One of the most daring high flyers wrestlers known by WWE is Matt Hardy. The superstar was known for taking risks that few athletes are willing to take. In an interview, ‘The Angelic Diablo’ revealed a shocking story about The Beast during his short-time rivalry in WWE with him.

A YouTube Channel named Wrestling Shoot Interviews uploaded this interview of Matt Hardy. The ‘Big Money Matt’ opened up about the script they had for the match and how Brock changed it at the last moment. 

“Big Show was doing a promo with Paul Heyman and Brock was coming out and I was going to blast him with a chair from behind before the match ever started.[…] Brock’s ribs were fu**ed up if you remember he had like cracked ribs for the longest time.. […] He(Brock) was like make sure don’t hit me on my lower back he said I don’t want you in my crack rib make sure you hit me behind my back,” said Matt Hardy.

Lesnar and Hardy’s backstage conflict

Matt Hardy agreed to Lesnar’s request to not hit him on the ribs with the chair. But during the segment, while attempting to hit Brock in the back, he accidentally struck Lesnar’s skull. After his segment, Hardy knew Brock was going to be upset about the incident.

Hardy said, “I remember coming to the back and I remember telling Shannon like I fu**ed him up, he is not going to be happy. I got to go out here for 12 minutes with Brock Lesnar. I know he wants to kill me.” And Hardy was not wrong when he thought that.

Further, he concluded, “I just remember him coming back to the gorilla, he was like what the f**k man, he said what the f**k I should get.., He was just furious about everything the blood was running everywhere, he said I told you why the f**k did you hit me in the head. I’m sorry man, I didn’t mean to. I said I was just trying to not hit you in the ribs. […] I f**d up dude I did that.” 

Vince McMahon and his management calmed both wrestlers and then they went on to their match. Hardy stated that even after the incident, Lesnar remained very respectful and followed the script throughout the match. 

Despite the fact that the match is scripted, the injuries these superstars suffer during the match are real. Even so, wrestlers are willing to take risks and go the extra mile for the sake of entertainment.
