Jim Ross Refutes Report of Gay Brock Lesnar Character Pitch

Last week, the Wrestling Observer reported that a pitch was once made in WWE for Brock Lesnar to debut as a gay character on WWE TV, and the idea was later shot down.

Jim Ross posted the following comment on the Q&A section of JRsBarBQ.com in response to the report:

“Another ridiculous tale from the IWC. That one is truly absurd.”

As noted, former WWE writer Seth Mates also took to Twitter to refute certain aspects of the story, noting that some of the information reported by The Wrestling Observer was incorrect.
