Professional wrestling fans may not have seen Brock Lesnar in action recently, and there’s no guarantee he’ll ever return to the ring, but according to 16-time world champion Ric Flair, he has developed Lesnar is not a great performer, but a good one. Flair shared his thoughts on Lesnar’s career on “Busted Open Radio”, providing a unique insight into the development of one of WWE’s most powerful athletes.
From UFC to WWE: Lesnar’s incredible journey
While speaking with Dave LaGreca and Mark Henry on the show, Flair went into Lesnar’s impressive transition from his UFC career to professional wrestling. Flair praised Lesnar’s growth in his career spanning more than two decades. “Brock Lesnar is a real worker,” Flair said. “It’s more than good. He’s a great worker,” he said of Lesnar’s three matches with Cody Rhodes in 2023 as proof of his progress.
Comparisons to Kurt Angle: Lesnar’s athleticism
Flair compared Lesnar to another great athlete, WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle. “His athleticism is almost unmatched. He’s like Kurt Angle. I mean, some guys can do it all, these two,” Flair said. These qualities define his work and set him apart from others.
WOMEN’S GROUP: RIC FLAIR TALKS CHARLOTTE FLAIR
Moving on to the women’s division, Flair admitted that there was also some athleticism involved.
