During a recent interview with 102.5 THE BONE, WWE Superstar Samoa Joe spoke about a number of different topics, including what it’s like to wrestle with the WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar. In the interview, Joe revealed that Lesnar doesn’t do much preparation for his matches.
Here’s the official quote:
“When you’re going in there and you’re going to get into it with Brock. Brock isn’t going to work on a lot of stuff; he’s going to want to go out there and he’s going to want to get down, so like Brock’s not a preplanned dude at all, man, so you’ve just got to go out there and do it. For some people it trips them out, but for me, I’m like, ‘if we’re going to scrap, we’re going to scrap.'”
This isn’t the first time a WWE Superstar has said this about Lesnar, as on the Stone Cold Steve Austin Podcast, Dean Ambrose also recalled that Brock Lesnar doesn’t really plan out his matches, as the two wrestled at WrestleMania 32.
Joe later went on to compare Lesnar to someone he knows very well from his days in TNA Wrestling:
“Like, honestly, a lot of getting ready for Brock was realizing he’s basically a bigger Kurt Angle. But Kurt is… he’s crazy, man. We just had the documentary about him and everything I said is true. If Kurt Angle’s leg fell off, he’d hop twice as fast to make up for the loss of mobility, man. There’s no quit in him. It was kind of a nice primer to get ready for Brock.”
