Paul Heyman On The Rock Avoiding Brock Lesnar, Lesnar's Schedule, If Conor McGregor Is A Bigger Draw
The Sun recently published an interview with Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar, who were promoting WWE 2K17, that was conducted this past summer. Lesnar didn't answer any questions during the interview, so Heyman did it himself. Below are some highlights:
If Brock Lesnar would be interested in facing The Rock:
"Notice how The Rock picks fights with Bray Wyatt, or fights with Rusev and John Cena? Notice how The Rock doesn't pick a fight with Brock Lesnar? Is Brock Lesnar ready for The Rock? Is The Rock ready for Brock Lesnar?"
The Rock vs. Lesnar being a big match that would sell out WrestleMania:
"I find it insulting that you would say that in front of Brock. I think Brock Lesnar against anyone is an automatic sell-out. Brock does not wrestle 52 Monday's a year on Monday Night Raw, he does not come to your home town every week, his appearances are rare. They are unique and extraordinary. Which is why, whenever Brock Lesnar appears it is a rare and unique opportunity for the paying customer to see the greatest living athlete in the history of WWE appear live in an extraordinary event that only Brock Lesnar can deliver on. This is why he is the greatest box office attraction."
Conor McGregor saying he's a bigger attraction than Lesnar:
"He's an interesting fellow. It's a shame he doesn't have his facts straight. If Conor McGregor would like to step into a ring or an Octagon against Brock Lesnar to determine not who truly is the biggest box office attraction, we can make that winner take all in bragging rights."
