Lesnar said as someone grows in pro wrestling, the people around you change. Lesnar said he has always been who he is, he doesn’t like being around a bunch of people, and he doesn’t like people very much in general, because that’s just who he is. That’s why he lives in the middle of nowhere and he is secluded from everyone else.
Austin brings up Lesnar’s match with Kurt Angle at WrestleMania and the botched Shooting Star Press from Lesnar, and Lesnar said he is very lucky after that move. He said that was a moment in his career when he failed to take advice from other veterans, and he was not being selfish He said he was talked into doing the spot, and it wasn’t something he wanted to do. He felt he could do it, but he really didn’t want to, but he was told it would be a “WrestleMania moment.”
Austin says he was upset with Lesnar for doing that move as he didn’t need to do it.
Austin brings up Lesnar vs Goldberg at WrestleMania 20, and the match being a “cluster”. Lesnar says both of them didn’t want to be there, and Lesnar said he had had enough of the business and he was done at that point. It was the road, it was the people, and Lesnar said he was becoming someone he didn’t want to be. A trapped animal.
Lesnar says he was built to be in the ring, but he wasn’t built for getting from one ring to the next. He didn’t like the road. Lesnar added going to the NFL after he left was just a scapegoat for him.
Austin brought up the lawsuit between Lesnar and WWE, and Lesnar said he has put that behind him and it’s water under the bridge.
Lesnar reiterates that pro wrestling is a job to him. He clocks in and out everyday and that’s it. He doesn’t hang out with the boys, and he keeps to himself because all he does is his job.
Austin then brings up Lesnar’s move to UFC, and Lesnar said they wanted him to go to Europe. He didn’t want to do that so he decided to go to New Japan Pro Wrestling to work a few dates. After that expired, Lesnar went back to fighting.
Lesnar signed with K1, and he began MMA.
