Brock Lesnar is widely considered a generational talent due to his unmatched exploits in combat sports. Amongst The Beast Incarnate's many admirers is Matt Hardy, who recently admitted that Lesnar was the best athlete he'd faced in his career.
As reported earlier, the AEW star completed 30 years in the business and received heartfelt messages from wrestling icons such as The Undertaker, Kurt Angle, and many others on his recent podcast episode.
Matt Hardy remembered his legendary career and recalled wrestling Brock Lesnar during the latter's early days in WWE. Their last official match was during a SmackDown taping in 2003, in which Lesnar came out victorious against Hardy.
The tag team legend said that despite the kayfabe nature of wrestling, Lesnar felt like a real fighter whenever they competed due to his speed and explosive style in the ring.
The latest episode of The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy revolved around the WWE legend's 30-year career milestone, and here's what he briefly had to say about Brock Lesnar:
"Brock is probably the most amazing athlete I've ever been in the ring with. Just like, I've never seen someone who is so like, so fast, so explosive, and so strong. Of all the people I've faced, Brock feels like the most real and dangerous athlete I've ever competed with of all people," revealed Hardy. [30:09 - 30:30]
Brock Lesnar has returned to WWE for a massive program
Many fans didn't expect Brock Lesnar to show up before the Royal Rumble season, especially now that Vince McMahon is no longer the WWE CEO.
However, Triple H isn't planning on changing everything about WWE, as Brock Lesnar is in line to make a routine trip to Saudi Arabia. The former Universal Champion returned on the season premiere of RAW and confronted Bobby Lashley, whom he defeated at Royal Rumble 2022.
Lesnar's attack on Lashley eventually cost the latter his United States Championship, and it will be interesting to see how WWE books the renewed feud.
The highly-anticipated rematch is expected to happen at Crown Jewel on November 5th, and it will be one of the marquee bouts on the card alongside Roman Reigns vs. Logan Paul.
