Brock Lesnar and NHL legend Wayne Gretzky had some drinks with each other following Lesnar’s big win at WWE’s Day 1 pay-per-view event.
Paul Bissonette, who works with Gretzky for NHL on TNT, appeared on the “Spittin’ Chiclets” podcast and said that he, Gretzky and Lesnar chatted it up in a hotel bar in Atlanta, GA. Bissonette said,
“We went back to the hotel to grab a bite to eat and a few pops in the lobby and all of a sudden, this big massive guy in a cowboy hat walks in and Wayne recognized him. He goes, ‘that’s Brock Lesnar.’ He said hello, ended up sitting down, we spent about two hours with him, having drinks, shooting the sh*t.
I had no idea that Brock Lesnar bought property in Saskatchewan and lives in Saskatchewan, he just commutes and drives over the border about two hours away and that’s where he travels out of. Great guy, very interesting, and he’s still going. I was like, ‘How are you not banged up and how are you still wrestling at this age?’ He said about 13 years ago, he got this trainer and it changed his whole life as far as eating habits and the way he trains. I think he said he could probably wrestle at a high level for another three or four years.”
He added, “He was a great guy. I know he’s known as a bit of a heel and he has to have kind of an a-hole persona as far as his character, but he was the complete opposite. He actually exchanged numbers with me and I got a text the next day, ‘Let’s keep in touch man!’ Alright, f*ckin eh, I’ll let you chokeslam me through a table for content. Let’s do it.”
