Kevin Nash: Brock Lesnar is the ‘most giving’ wrestler on the planet
WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash is a big fan of how Brock Lesnar handles his business.
It was confirmed last week that Lesnar will face off against Oba Femi at WrestleMania 42. To help build interest for the match, WWE ran an angle where Femi laid Lesnar out and posed with his foot on top of the fallen Lesnar. Nash reacted to the segment on his Kliq This podcast, praising Lesnar for how giving he is.
“Brock, who’s the most giving motherf***er on the planet,” Nash said. “He’s just not a f***ing mark. There’s nothing about that guy that’s a f***ing mark. I guess when you’re one of the baddest motherf***ers on earth, [you have nothing to prove].”
Femi was a two-time NXT Champion and joined the WWE main roster at the start of this year. He defeated Rusev on Raw a couple weeks back, and Nash would now like to see Femi squash a smaller opponent on the road to WrestleMania to help get his move set over even more.
“Either way it’s going to f***ing sell, though,” Nash said. “If I’m Brock Lesnar and I have to make somebody to make them worthy of a WrestleMania match and I’m probably going to get a $2.5-3 million payday out of it, I’m pretty sure I’m making somebody.”
WWE’s build to the Lesnar vs. Femi match began back in January at the Royal Rumble, where they had a face-off as a teaser to see how fans would react.
There are rumors that Lesnar could be planning to retire from the ring soon, with SummerSlam in Minneapolis this August considered as a possible destination for his last match.
