Believe it or not, there was a time when Brock Lesnar wasn't the next big thing and he was just trainee in OVW. He was even teamed with Shelton Benjamin for a time while he learned the ropes of the wrestling business. One thing he had to learn the hard way though was taught to him by Jim Cornette, and boy was it a doozy

Jim Cornette was running the developmental territory at the time and has had quite a few weird stories about The Beast Incarnate. His best story of the current WWE Champion however, came after Lesnar had hurt Cornette's girlfriend, Stacy, in the ring, and things got pretty heated from there.

According to an episode of Cornette's show, Lesnar had done something that Stacy had asked him not to and the two got in a shouting match backstage. This resulted in Lesnar cursing Stacy out in front of Cornette, which got him angry. Cornette responded by threatening to shoot Brock Lesnar.

Cornette then went on to explain that he told Lesnar no one would waste their time trying to fight him and that if he runs his mouth too much backstage, he will eventually get himself shot. The conversation was enough to scare Lesnar, and apparently had him a bit frightened.
