Brock [Lesnar] is a different beast, though. Godd**n. Brock is–he doesn’t care if you’re on your way out or if you came in or if you’re John Cena or whoever it is that you are. Brock is from another planet! I honestly did not realize I was scared of Brock until I stepped in the ring with him for the first time.
