Brock Lesnar walks in the back with Paul Heyman as we go to commercial.
We are back and Michael Cole reminds us about Jerry Lawler’s stomach virus.
Brock Lesnar’s music plays and he makes his way to the ring with Paul Heyman.
Paul introduces himself and he says that he stands before you as the advocate for the self proclaimed Number One Contender for the WWE World Championship, Brock Lesnar. Paul says that his client wants to convey his dismay over the public’s misconception about the term ‘Old School’.
Old School according to his client is not trudging out ‘legends’ and giving them their last hurrah. That is not old school. According to his client, ‘Old School’ is when one man reigns supreme and every single solitary member of that locker room comes out and challenges that one man, that one champion to be the man in sports entertainment today.
Back in the day, Bruno Sammartino reigned supreme and every single solitary member of the locker room wanted a piece of Bruno. Back in the day, Hulk Hogan reigned supreme and every single member of that locker room wanted a piece of Hogan to be that man. Back in the day, Steve Austin. Paul says that he is not out here to get the acceptance of the people by mentioning these people. The people wanted a piece of Austin.
One man reigns supreme. One man is the WWE World Champion. After the Royal Rumble, whether that man is John Cena or Randy Orton, you better put an expiration stamp on the back of their neck because their time will be short. That man will have a target on their back and the man coming after them will be the Beast Incarnate . . . BROCK LESNAR
This is where the facts are more interesting than the hype. There is nobody in WWE, Mixed Marital Arts, or sports to reign supreme as the number one man. Last week, the World’s Strongest Man took Brock up on his challenge. Brock had no warning or advance notice of this challenge and he laid Mark Henry to waste and gave him the most severe beating of his career.
It did not matter who came down that aisle. Whoever comes up that aisle will end up being a loser.
