#5 Goldberg talks how Brock Lesnar is in real life

Goldberg and Lesnar

WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg came back to WWE in late 2016 and immediately went into a feud with Brock Lesnar. Goldberg defeated Lesnar in a complete squash at Survivor Series 2016, in what many deem as being one of the most shocking moments in WWE's storied history.

While talking about his return, Goldberg once stated that it wouldn't have been possible if it hadn't been for Lesnar. Goldberg also said that Lesnar is a caring person in real life.

I know it’s hard to believe this, but Brock is a caring person underneath all that big giant monster’s body. The relationship he has with his sons parallels my relationship with my son, and I think Brock may have understood what I was going through. Maybe he put himself in my position, saw a little bit of himself later in life in me, and saw how much this meant to me. For that, I can never repay Brock.

As can bee seen in the photos above, Lesnar has worked with Make-A-Wish in the past. Despite being a very reserved guy, he has taken time out on several occasions to meet children and talk to them. Another instance from 2017 saw Lesnar visiting 11-year old Charlie, a kid who was diagnosed with a blood disorder and had been a huge WWE fan for a long while. Lesnar proceeded to click several photos with Charlie, talked wrestling with him for a while, and even let the kid try out a bunch of moves on him.

It's not a secret that Brock Lesnar has a lot of respect for Paul Heyman and the two are very close in real life. When Lesnar started his WWE run, Heyman was right there with him. The former ECW owner has acted as Lesnar's mouthpiece for years and continues to do so even today.

Heyman and Lesnar's children only strengthened the bond between the two men. Heyman once revealed that he has a photo of his children Azalea and Jacob, and Brock's children Turk and Duke in his wallet. The picture was taken at WrestleMania 29 and Heyman has kept the same in his wallet ever since. For someone who is incredibly protective of his family, this wholesome tidbit speaks volumes of how much Heyman means to Lesnar.

#2 Lesnar was incredibly close to Eddie Guerrero

Eddie Guerrero passed away on November 13th, 2005, leaving the wrestling world in a state of shock. At the time, Lesnar had long been gone from the company. A recent interview featuring former WWE SmackDown GM Vickie Guerrero saw her speak about Brock Lesnar and his friendship with Eddie Guerrero.

Vickie stated that she has talked with Brock on several occasions, and added that Lesnar loved Eddie. She also said that Brock has told her on several occasions how much he misses Eddie every single day.

I talk to Brock, he loved Eddie, he will just hug me and say I still miss Eddie every day and that's something really special when I see Brock every now and then.

It's clear that although Lesnar has never spoken much about this, he had nothing but love and respect for Eddie Guerrero.

#1 Brock was almost on the verge of tears while talking about Mr. Perfect

Mr. Perfect

WWE Hall of Famer Mr. Perfect passed away in 2003. He had come back to WWE for a short run a year ago, but was fired for his unruly behavior during a plane incident that is now famously dubbed as "the plane ride from hell".

Soon after Hennig's death, WWE interviewed Brock Lesnar on an episode of WWE Confidential, where he shared his thoughts on Hennig's passing. The two were close in real life and Lesnar had a lot of respect for Hennig. Lesnar was almost on the verge of tears while talking about Hennig.

Here's what Brock had to say:

It was a lot of sides I saw of Curt that other people didn't because I got to be very close with him.You know, Curt had a very serious side, his love... (pauses). There wasn't a day that he didn't talk to me.
