Parker Boudreaux commented on his resemblance to Brock Lesnar in an interview with Lucha Libre Online. Here’s what he had to say:

"I think Brock Lesnar is a tremendous athlete, and while I do take it as a compliment to be told we look alike, I look forward to people getting to see my own unique identity and character in professional wrestling, as well as watch me be my own person. I’m one of a kind. The Next Big Thing."

Brock Lesnar's WWE contract expired last year at the end of August.
