Brock Lesnar is a guaranteed future WWE Hall of Famer. His looks and in-ring dominance have earned him nicknames like The Beast, The Beast Incarnate, The Conqueror, and several others.

Despite this, The Undertaker had another nickname for the 43-year-old former WWE Superstar during their time in the company. The Deadman revealed on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast that he used to call the man who broke his WrestleMania streak Vanilla Gorilla.

"He’s a freak athlete. Oh my goodness [Brock Lesnar’s combine numbers], it’s ridiculous. He’s one of those guys that defy, you know, he was 260 pounds but his shot was like a 160. You can’t believe somebody his size can move the way he can move. He’s a freak athlete. I used to call him The Vanilla Gorilla. He was. He was just a freak, freak dude."

Brock Lesnar is a former five-time WWE Champion and three-time Universal Champion. His WWE contract expired in the summer of 2020.

Lesnar's last WWE match came at WrestleMania 36 when he lost the WWE Championship to Drew McIntyre. Although many people thought he might return at WrestleMania 37, it does not seem that it will happen.
