Brock Lesnar is not the guy you meet in your daily lives – the man is a freak of nature. Needless to say, he leaves a lasting impression on everyone. Recently, WWE Hall of Famer ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin looked back at the time he first met ‘The Beast Incarnate.’
Right after Clash of Champions 2020, Steve Austin released a brand new episode of The Broken Skull Sessions (h/t Sportskeeda). Fellow Hall of Famer Kurt Angle joined him and the duo spoke about Angle’s glorious career in WWE.
During the conversation, Austin spoke about Angle’s rivalry with the recently released Brock Lesnar. He also talked about the time he first met the ‘beast’ in person.

“I’ll never forget the first time I saw Brock Lesnar. I had heard a little bit about him, we were on fire, we were doing other things. That guy walks at the cafeteria, and his traps, and his big a** neck like yours, and he’s like 6’4”, and I’m like, Holy s*t! He looks like a billion dollars, and all of a sudden he was that good.”
Brock Lesnar and Kurt Angle had an outstanding main event rivalry on SmackDown for a large part of 2003. They battled at two out of the “Big Four” WWE Pay-Per-Views in 2003 and were the main event at that year’s WrestleMania.
