The most recent edition of Bruce Prichard’s “Something To Wrestle With” podcast was dedicated to Paul Heyman’s WWE career. During a particular portion of the podcast, Prichard spoke on how WWE and Heyman tried to convince Brock Lesnar to stay with the company following WrestleMania XX.
Here’s an excerpt from that particular portion of the podcast: (transcript by WrestlingNewsCo)
Prichard: “We all tried to get Brock to stay and Paul was in Brock’s ear whispering and constantly trying to get Brock to reconsider and stay in professional wrestling. But there was a point where there was no more talking to Brock. Brock had made up his mind; he wanted to play football and didn’t want to be a wrestler anymore, didn’t wanna travel and he was just done. So that’s one time I’ll give Paul credit for knowing when to tap out, cause Brock probably would have beaten him.”
