Brock Lesnar is a locker room leader backstage according to Natalya.
Brock Lesnar had developed a reputation for being more concerned about the paycheck than about the art of wrestling. Brock Lesnar has even said that the allure of money brought him back to WWE however, there is still a performer that loves the industry inside of Brock Lesnar and now, Natalya is giving us a rare inside look at the Brock Lesnar that she has gotten to know backstage.
Speaking on the Sports Guys Talk Wrestling podcast, Natalya revealed that she is a fan of Brock Lesnar and that her husband, TJ Wilson, considers Brock Lesnar to be the greatest wrestler of all time.
"My husband actually said this, he said Brock is the greatest pro wrestler of all time," said Natalya. "He's like a wrestling connoisseur, TJ Wilson... and he said, 'You could take Brock Lesnar right now in 2022 and put him in wrestling in 1950 and his style would still hold like, strong. He's gifted at his physicality. He's more than proven himself on the mic. He evolves, he changes he's grown and he also gives back."
Continuing on, Nattie revealed that Brock has watched her matches and gives genuine advice and critiques.
"People don't know this, maybe this is too much to say, I don't want to ruin Brock's persona," she continued. "Brock watches all of our matches in gorilla. The last match that I had at SmackDown, he watched, and he critiqued, and gave us feedback gave us advice. He told us what we could do to be better. He stayed there and watched. He cares. It was so cool, getting advice from him. He's such a badass. But I really looked up to him. He gives back and even, you know, in pro wrestling, it's an inside term, it's called 'selling,' right? But when it's time to give back to somebody, he's getting knocked on his ass because he knows how to build a fight, and I love that about him. He really leads by example. I think He's very talented at what he does. But what I'm seeing backstage is him giving back and I like to go to Brock for advice, because I think that like he does know what he's talking about."
Natalya says that Brock Lesnar told her that a match against Bret Hart would have been a dream match for him.
"He said that a dream match for him would have been to wrestle Bret Hart," she revealed. "We were talking last week and he said that would have been a dream match because I told him how much Bret was a fan of his work and he said that would be a dream match. So anyway, I think Brock is awesome."
Recently, Natalya talked about training wrestlers alongside TJ Wilson in The Dungeon 2.0. Read more here.
