I could genuinely sit in a room with Heyman and listen to him talk for days, he’s got to be one of the best talkers we’ve ever seen in wrestling hands down.
Paul Heyman’s wrestling knowledge is comparable to that of Jim Cornette. Both are the best wrestling historians in the business. I don’t agree with most of the shit Cornette says, but ya gotta admit it’s a pretty great comparison
When he’s talking about brock, high likely kayfabe. If it’s other wrestlers or past wrestlers he worked with, he sounded more like a life story teller which i doubt it’s kayfabe.
I don't think it's Keyfabe. Heyman's a natural storyteller, he knows how to engage you in what he's got to say, he might sound like he's cutting a promo, but he knows you're listening to every single word. Imagine him trying to sell you a warranty.
The problem with the match against Dean was it had so much build to it and so it didn't live up to the expectations. There was no need to show the chainsaw if they weren't really gonna use it.
Yeah Brock is pretty selfish because he doesn't want any spot to make him look remotely weak. He was a little more humble before he got over. It is clear that he doesn't really care much about the WWE he just wants a check. Honestly would rather him stay in the UFC.
@@Wumbology378 He sold beautifully for AJ and Daniel Bryan. Something must have happened with him and Dean, not saying he should have sabotaged the match of course.
@@uncensored008 You are 100% correct, Brock didnt want to risk a injury, he had a 8 million dollar pay day waiting. I am from Cinci and want very very badly to see Ambrose be all he can be. He got royally fucked, speaking purely creative, by WWE. This goofy poor comedic character he was for two years was horrible and never what he should have been. I also blame Ambrose, because we hear story after story of top guys taking more control of their character. It was widely reported Dean would 100% stick to script and deliver exactly what WWE wanted, that is one reason they like him. So WWE is misusing him and he is doing nothing on his end to correct that. Another thing that I think really hurt Dean in WWE and the same thing happened with Paige. They are great performers and very intelligent people, but both High School drop outs, they're intelligent but not educated. This really shows when Dean is interviewed, example The SCSA Podcast was a disaster. When The Shield broke up it looked like Dean was ready to be the guy, The Brock match, SCSA Podcast, and AJ Styles being amazing is what did Ambrose in. Lets not shed tears for Dean though, he made millions of dollars performing his craft around the world and met his wife all while in WWE. He had a good run, it just could have been so much more speaking creatively.
The bit about Braun was true. Braun legitimately kneed Lesnar in the head so Lesnar rocked Brauns jaw and told him to slow it down. I don't blame brock one bit.
I love Paul. He legit says so much and gives so much info... without actually answering the question. He never really answered the question of what happen with the Brock vs Dean match. He gave so insight and gave a few pieces of info but never really answered it. This man is a god of this business and can work a crowd like no one ever has.
@Jonathan Williams The Dean Ambrose gimmick kinda got stale for me and the germaphob gimmick didn't do any good for him. I perfer Jon Moxley because he has more input and say in how HIS character will act. The feud between Moxley and CM Punk has been glorious
basically, brock had an upcoming fight and didn't wanna do anything dangerous in the dean match. i think everyone remembers how pedestrian that match was.
@@MorrisseyMuse That's not what I heard. Ambrose said that Lesnar didn't want to do anything he suggested, and just wanted to do his usual lazy suplex spamming crap.
@@MorrisseyMuse Find that hard to believe Guy use to basically kill himself in the indies. he would have taken some awesome bumps is Lesnar was more giving.
Brock Lesnar is just as lazy as his Grandpa Paul Fatty Heyman. Liberties you say? Go fuck off you potato looking Samoan Ass kisser Paul Fatty Heyman! Ambrose on his worst day can *bitch slap* and *humiliate* and *beat the crap outta* Steve Baldy Austin,Baldy fatty Paul Heyman and Brock "Lazy" Lesnar! *Mic drop*
I wouldn't necessarily say he's lazy. When he cares about his opponent then you're probably gonna get a good match. He had a great match with Punk at Summerslam 2013. It was an extreme stipulation as well. If Brock wanted to make it a good match then he would've. But Brock had a UFC fight he was readying for... right? So he prioritized not doing much so he wouldn't get hurt before his fight. That means Dean doesn't get to do much, that means Dean goes in with an attitude.
@@rafaelflores4968 Ambrose had "crazy" ideas in his mind and knowing him he would have obviously opted for taking big time damage at the hands of Lesnar which would make him appear as a legit tough no quit person against the Beast. Now those ideas of course would have Ambrose taking big nasty bumps off the ladder,tables,etc. Brock just needed to throw Ambrose off some high spots. You are saying he couldn't even do that? Isn't that *lazy* now? Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman should not be having a job if they are so complacent. If you all scream out that Paul Heyman has a good wrestling mind then why isn't he in the WWE creative? I'll tell you why...casue he must have denied the offer which of course he has got a lot of times and he is again *lazy* just as his client.
I was asked recently who I thought had the most charisma in wrestling by a friend while we were both randomly watching an old Randy Savage promo. I’ve been a fan for 25 years but started watching religiously in the Attitude Era. My friend was astonished but then couldn’t really disagree after he thought about it, that, without hesitation, I answered Paul Heyman. He’s different class on that microphone.
Damn right, I stopped watching Wwe 4 years ago because it’s just garbage now. But yes heyman for the hof shit I’ll go back to watching wwe if they have him as the GM of smack down because Paul heyman’s smackdown that’s why.
WWE is trying to blur the lines of reality with Triple H talking about Ric Flair and Becky and Ronda but they need to have Paul teach them how to do it correctly.
I think we are starting to get into reality imitating art imitating reality. This is the kind of stuff Vince Russo said the WWE needs to do. That was 3 years ago. Bring the UFC stuff up. Bring up the fact that Lesnar doesn't care, or doesn't he? Seems most of the locker room, kayfabe, will be behind Seth to win.
Eh if that's the direction they're going in then give me a time machine and let me fuck off back to the 80s when this shit used to be about fun. Give me a cartoonish gravel voiced meathead shouting into the camera during a backstage interview any day. Better than this twitter wars will they or won't they soap opera bullshit. Heyman's an expert at weaving it and almost makes it half entertaining, but it's still a sad and boring way to take it. I haven't cared about anything Brock's been involved in in years, what would be the point? WWE are trying way too hard to outsmart unimportant internet randoms, to the detriment of being actually entertaining much. Now I heard Ronda's turned heel I was thinking of giving the main shows a look-in again for the first time since she debuted, but with shit like this still being their attitude... maybe not after all. Wasn't this all just better when it was fun? I don't care who got one intellectually over who or what particular arrangement of the fourth wall we're not entirely sure we're looking at. I want to watch a giant human cartoon beat up another giant human cartoon for the simple reason that that's what they're both there to do. Attach whatever other drama you want to that and sometimes that works (NXT for good examples) but at the end of the day I still need that core. When it's plain trunks versus plain trunks over internet beef all the time, my brain just switches off. Wrestling needs to go backwards. And if it's what Vince Russo said they need to be doing, then doesn't that just say it all?
Whether Paul is in character here or not Dean’s interview with Austin will always upset me. The questions asked were very invasive, and it’s well known that Jon is a very private man. So asking about his issues with drugs and his absent parents was unprofessional. It’s no wonder he shut down.
Thank you! Exactly! Idk, how anyone can blame Ambrose and NOT Stone Cold for those questions (there was no good reason to ask them). Not to mention the part where Stone Cold was telling Ambrose to go above and beyond in WWE as if Ambrose could control his own position in the company and he's not controlled by WWE (Dean was telling him that things don't work the way he thinks they do anymore). I like both SCSA and Ambrose. However, SCSA was 100% to blame for the quality of that interview.
If SCSA just stuck to questions about wrestling, training, promos, etc., then that interview would've been MUCH better. But asking someone questions about something that CLEARLY bothers them and getting upset at them for not doing well in the interview is absolutely insane! That's not even sensitive or being a snowflake if that bothers him (ppl have claimed that, despite the fact that his past was pretty effed up). That's simply Dean being human.
that interview genuinely made me hate steve austin. he needed to take the fucking hint. dean is known for never wanting to talk about his childhood and steve austin just would not let that subject drop. it was awful.
@bill gates "The difference is Austin is an alpha, and Ambrose is a beta, and it showed." Can't believe I just read this sentence, actually typed out by someone, without a trace of irony. Anyway, Dean had just become WWE champ at the time and Steve probably made him come on the show. Dean isn't usually one for interviews but he'll concede if asked for one.
My takeaways from this interview: - Jericho was right in that Brock did take liberties with Orton - Heyman either purposely ignored or wasn’t aware Ambrose/Moxley/Goode was specifically told he wouldn’t be asked questions about his dad, which Stone Cold did and has since apologized for - Either the match goes exactly like Brock wants, or he doesn’t work and takes liberties. Cool. I mean it’s not, but cool.
@Ziad Khaled mate, vince made the call so it was scripted to happen. Many may not have known about it, doesn't mean it wasnt scripted. Why did brock get away with it then? Vince made the call randy agreed only them 4 knew about it.
In Dean’s defense, and he said this, he was pretty annoyed because Stone Cold was asking him questions that had he given honest answers to, he clearly would’ve gotten in trouble given he was working for the damn company. So he just didn’t say much at all.
@@UnclePyro21 pfft he was intoxicated in everything he did haha. Did you even hear him on Steve Austin's podcast. Slurring words, incoherent answers not even related to the question. Dean never fully explained why he said he was pissed off coming out to the ring that night.. when later on in his answer he claimed it was Brock not wanting to work that pissed him off. He didn't even have his stories half straight and they didn't make sense.
@@nicholasroberts7891 oh okay so you’re just making things up lol got it. If you can provide literally any legit article/quote/video etc with anybody saying he was intoxicated on this interview I’ll quit laughing at you.
@@nicholasroberts7891 like remember when they accused JR of being drunk on the 2k14 panel? And fired him? We always heard about Jeff Hardy, Jimmy Uso, or anybody else who gets in trouble for drinking even if it wasn’t an arrest or something, and was in a controlled situation. Even if Dean didn’t get a punishment (which he would) I guarantee you if he was “intoxicated” on this podcast with Austin, especially if he did it repeatedly we would’ve at the very least heard about it. Please don’t come into a comment section stating your opinions as proven knowledge “well he shouldn’t have showed up intoxicated” and literally not a soul has ever even alluded to such in this or any other interview. But since you don’t think his answers make since he must just be a drunk right? Gtfo 😂
He may be legit. Wrestlers deliberately having terrible matches or even deliberately injuring each other in the ring is not unheard of, and if Brock Lesnar would have wanted to sandbag or shoot on Moxley then there is nothing he could have done about it. I think he was booked to win, but Moxley's attitude (or complaints about the booking) led to Brock taking some liberties with his lighter opponent.
Normal people when they want to relax - Massage or ASMR Wrestling fans when they want to relax - listen to Paul Heyman ramble about wrestling for 48 hours
@@EasyJayce So he should be paid *only* for his matches with Balor,AJ and Bryan. Right kid? Balor,AJ and Bryan made him look good. Brock did one or two more moves than he usually does in those matches and all you bandwagon sheeps go-"Look Lesnar can have a good match when he wants to."
@@jaydhake6222 Well actually everyone knows Brock can go, and ye his move set was the same.. the point is his selling in those matches. You and me both know Brock does not have to sell for any of those guys listed hell he barely sells for Braun but he made them great match's cos of his selling and willingness to work with his opponent. It was literally Balors best match in a year so you can't say Balor carried him.
What was Ambrose supposed to do on the SC podcast, bury Brock for not wanting to do anything and effectively ruining Dean's first WM singles match? He would've been buried by WWE if he had. I'm amazed everyone is so dumb about this. Btw, how much did those people pay per ticket to get kayfabed by Heyman?
There's entertainment value worth the money spent in getting worked by someone as good as Heyman. That story from this same event about Undertaker had me rolling. He had those marks believing, just straight believing Lesnar just decided he was going to take out Taker mid match. If he'd done that at a WM match, against Taker of all people, VKM would have made sure through legal action he was never heard from again. Off WWE TV, enforce his contract to keep him off other TV, refuse to let him fight in UFC and go after intellectual property usage anytime anyone put him on UA-cam or a podcast.
Wow... coming back to watch this after Talk Is Jericho w/ Jon Moxley, after he revealed what was really going on behind the scenes... it makes you realise two things: 1) Just how depressed he was (having to go on Web MD is not a good sign) 2) Paul could give Michael Cole a run for who's Vince's top Schill.
Brock Lesnar is just as lazy as his Grandpa Paul Fatty Heyman. Liberties you say? Go fuck off you potato looking Samoan Ass kisser Paul Fatty Heyman! Ambrose on his worst day can *bitch slap* and *humiliate* and *beat the crap outta* Steve Baldy Austin,Baldy fatty Paul Heyman and Brock "Lazy" Lesnar! *Mic drop*
BossManSays Back in the day Brock boast he could best Kurt, who won a gold medal with a broken neck, in a real wrestling match. So Kurt obliged and took him to school despite a 40 lbs difference. There’s a big difference between an NCAA champion and a Olympic gold medalist.
He tested positive for Clomid. Brock didn’t take steroids to fight Mark. Brock was on steroids beforehand, which he had every right to be, because he wasn’t competing. The UFC contacted him and threw a ton of money at him if he’d save their card and fight. I’m sure he told them he was on Test. He stopped taking Test but began taking Clomid, which is what guys take after taking steroids to kickstart their natural testosterone production. It’s not that Clomid itself is a performance enhancer, as much as it shows the person was previously on performance enhancers. I’m sure Brock even told the UFC there was a chance he would fail the test. The UFC didn’t care because they needed him to sell tickets. This is why Mark Hunt was so pissed off.
@@mariosargiropoulos1715 "He did take them to beat mark & had every right to be on steroids because he wasn't competing" Yeah that totally him going into a match jumped up on steroids. He should come clean that he was full of more testosterone than a adult bull and need to get off his roids. If the company legitimately knew and didn't care then they are just as fake as the wwe.
Hell, no one they (MMA commissions) don't want to deal with can pass a drug screening. All of them are one PED's and only when they want to punish somebody or get them out for a while they will "fail" a drug test. If they are playing ball and not causing problems and drawing money... they will never fail a test unless they want the controversy. MMA is as fake as wrestling anymore in the main event scene.
BUUUUULLLLL LLLLLLLLOCCCKKKKK LLLLLEEESSSSSSNNNAAARRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!! JK I know it was a typo block/brock but it was just funny imagining Heyman saying Block Lesnar. (not trolling :) )
From what I've read he had a troubled childhood. I don't blame him for not wanting to talk about it on the podcast. It might have been awkward but I think if Stone Cold knew a little about it he would have directed his questions differently.
Here's the problem: Ambrose's complaints about Lesnar have been corroborated by other people and by anyone who has bothered to pay attention. Lesnar is only interested in things that make him look good, not putting on good matches or getting his opponent over.
@@ChadBenjamin Yes because Brock was done with MMA when he waw working with them. Against Ambrose he had one eye on his UFC return against Mark Hunt which is why he did a minimalist match with Dean
I think it was bad timing. Brock can be a good worker when his head and heart is in it (as you could tell it was during his stuff with Rollins) but by the time it came for him and Ambrose to go at it, Brock was already looking ahead to his next MMA fight and had checked out on whatever he had to do for WWE. Brock has clearly never been in the business for a genuine passion and it’s obvious that he has no problem going through the motions and putting in minimal effort if his interests lay elsewhere. I think it’s really luck of the draw as to whether you’re going to get a Lesnar who is invested in the storyline or a Lesnar who is just bored and waiting to go home and cash his check.
@Micah Mcgaffin Hahaha kid you are such a piece of garbage.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Following and getting brainwashed by an *old* *stubborn* man who advocates for a lazy farm boy and thinking that Brock is not lazy. You are a joke man.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@jaydhake6222 the fact you called him lazy and a farm boy is an oxymoron .go work on a farm then call him lazy, go train like brock trains, go compete in a ufc or wwe ring for any amount of time and call him lazy .fake or real fighting a guy in a ring for 2 to ten minutes you can't be lazy..
@@Run187 When I call Lesnar "lazy" I mean it in terms of others in his field. He doesn't care about putting someone over.He and his advocate Paul *old* *stubborn* Heyman are like arrogant kids.If you disagree with them,they would take the easy way out and won't do business in the way it should be done. First of all he rarely shows up and when he does show up he only suplexes his opponents a bunch of times,F5's and leaves. That's *lazy* compared to others who work hard everyday,wanna tell a better in ring story and are way more entertaining than Brock can ever be.
@@DisastrousIntentionally Brock Lesnar is *lazy right now* in the WWE. He has worked hard in the past and build up his resume. I ain't denying that. I'm focusing on his *current* status. If he shows up once in 4 months,then he should at least respect his position and give us a quality show instead of acting like a stubborn kid and producing a shit match everytime he steps foot in a ring. All he had to do with Ambrose was throw him here and there from high spots so that Ambrose could be presented more as a no quit guy against a beast. But he didn't cause he got stubborn and lazy when he found that Ambrose has got way more crazy, innovative and creative ideas than he himself could ever have. Same with Orton and countless others. His once in four months matches doesn't even surpass 10 minutes of in ring time. He was caught saying "Help me out man" to Braun Strowman cause he had got tired and then proceeded to end the match in 3-4 minutes. Now I ask you a real question:- "Isn't that lazy?"
@@jaydhake6222 No, it's not Lazy. You bringing up the past but how bout his match with AJ Styles, Daniel Bryan or Finn Balor? Vince got you guys hating a guy who defends his belt every 3-4 months. Brilliant. You paying/ tuning in to see if the heel gets beat. Money well spent.
Just saying...When he knocked out Randy Counture, Randy was way way way past his prime and much older and out sized. Not taking nothing away from Brock just saying.
@@sabariprasad4239 Ryback and Curtis Axel were denied pushes by the company itself. While Cesaro, Paul heyman himself confessed that he didn't do enough with him.
@@sabariprasad4239, Awesome point! I always say the same thing! All of these bias Heyman fans ignore it all the time! Remember Heidenreich? Maybe as one half of the new LOD, but never when Heyman managed him! The only wrestler that ever got over kn the WWE being managed by Heyman, was Brock Lesnar! And Lesnar was going to get pushed to the moon, regardless! No one else that Heyman managed in the WWE ever got over! The only other successful wrestlers he managed in the WWE were guys that were already over and had already made a name for themselves!
@@nihaljaiswal4869, umm Ryback was already over on his own without Heyman, so was Cesaro! People didn't chant "feed me more" because Ryback wasn't over or because the "WWE denied" him being pushed! He was already established and Heyman did nothing with him! He also didn't do shit with a well over Cesaro, hot off of his victory in the first ever Andre The Giant battle royal! All you Heyman fanboys know absolutely nothing about him! You're all nothing but bias fanboys! Who heard CM Punk call himself a "Paul Heyman guy" and jumped on the bandwagon like a bunch of sheep!
Shinku Quickman Ok? Brock lesnar is more known and has better matches than Jon Moxley how many you want ? Smark. Everyone in North America knows brock lesnar. Jon Moxley ? He’s not even known throughout the world.
We now know that this is bull shit. Austin wasn't pissed, producers told Ambrose that things wouldn't be talked about and they were. Ambrose claims he tried everything he could to make that match with Lesnar better.
And I bet by "better" he meant things like "barbed wire boards" and sugar glass and lame theatrics that would look lame and result in unnecessary cuts and potential injuries.
In all fairness, to say “Brock didn’t wanna have a good match with Dean” is kinda unfair. He’s had amazing matches with Seth, Cena, Balor and Bryan. So I kinda believe Paul. But then again none of us were there so idk.
Ripping Dean during the Stone Cold interview? Dean was pissed off because Steve kept interrupting him, Dean would try to answer, but every time......The rest of what Heyman said makes sense.
@@baxterbrownentertainment I never said he isn't.....I was only talking about the stone cold interview, Stone cold kept interrupting dean before dean could talk......Other than that yeah he may very well lazy and uncooperative....I don't know. Some people have a hard time getting things out and when you intterupt them, it makes it worse.
@@baxterbrownentertainment the point of an interview is questions are asked, then answered......but stone cold asked questions and before dean could really answer or as he's halfway through answering, stone cold would ask another question.....Give the man time to answer, then ask your next question. Sometimes I can be slow to answer, I need to think of the right wording, or I can't really think of how to answer a question.....interrupting me isn't going to help, it's going to make me agitated......maybe that's what Dean was like, maybe he's just lazy and doesn't give a shit, who knows.......I'm just putting that out there.......
@@baxterbrownentertainment How is Ambrose lazy exactly? At one point, he had the highest work rate out of everyone in the locker room (never took off days, worked every show, including most (if not all) live events). He only had a dip in that number after that arm injury, which caused him to ALMOST DIE. Then, he trained super hard to come back to wrestling to the point where he comes back jacked. This is me merely scratching the surface! Does that sound lazy to you? A lazy person, especially after almost losing their life due to an injury, would get super fat and may have even quit wrestling. Like I said before, how is this man lazy??
(Just to anyone acting as if Dean isn't a tough guy) Having a super messed up childhood (this man was the 'man of the house' super young (father wasn't there, according to Dean) before most 'men' calling this MAN beta), being in the streets and in that struggle and not letting that consume him, becoming super successful despite going through all of that horrible stuff, getting himself a wife, having such a stable living to the point where he has lots of plans, did some hardcore wrestling in the past (dangerous legit hits like hitting a real guitar over someone's head (not a thin cheap)), and he's not wrestling because of the money but because he loves it (aka no one is FORCING/MAKING him wrestle bc he WANTS to) is considered beta? I mean, the definitions of Alpha and Beta in today's society are subjective, however, if 'beta' is implying that he's some sort of weak or soft, then that's a bit ridiculous. Seems some like to talk about the man without any knowledge of his past... (not acting like an expert on his life or anything (not everything is put out), but this info is more than enough to give a basic sense of who Dean is).
It is in my humble opinion that the next the Brock decides that someone did him wrong in a match and proceeds to fight for real, the one he is wrestling should give it right back and hopefully teach Brock a lesson. If Brock had pulled that stunt on the Undertaker of 20 years ago, the conversation would be far different. Brock is not lazy by any means, however Brock has a mindset of no matter what he does in the ring (either by getting real or by phoning it in), he will be free of consequences and he is basically right. Someday soon he’s gonna pull a stunt like that and he’s the ones that’s gonna get hurt, he just has to pull it on the right guy. And hopefully the one guy will be someone he underestimates so he pulls that stunt.
I wait for that day with extreme anticipation. Also agreed on Taker. Michaels tried to pull similar 💩 back in the day. All it took was The Undertaker quietly wrapping his hands in Gorilla for Michaels to straighten up.
Dean Ambrose had every right to be annoyed with Leaner. He wanted to have a good match and Lesnar wanted to be lazy and just.squash him. Dean Ambrose hasn't got as much pull and creative freedom as Stone Cold did when he did the podcast so it's not a fair comparison.
@@arkanandi1230 From what I have heard Ambrose wanted to do all sorts of dangerous high flying spots, use barbed wire, thumbtacks and other "EXTREME" gimmicks. Lesnar didn't. Lesnar had far more clout and creative control so it went his way. According to some sources, this caused Ambrose (like in the Austin podcast) to just kind of give up, go passive, and sandbag the match since he didn't get anything he wanted. So when he started sandbagging (meaning not giving much energy and effort into the performance), Brock started getting stiffer and rougher to let him know he needs to do business or else. Ironically, the same thing happened in WCW between Chris Jericho and Goldberg. Jericho had all these great ideas for a rivalry and feud, he was denied and told to get squashed by the head guy at the time, so when the match came, Jericho did business and gave it his all even though he was pissed and disappointed that creative were being idiots that were messing up a massive opportunity. And THAT is the difference between a star and a performer. Ambrose is a performer, not a star. Jericho is a star and a performer, and Lesner/Goldberg is just a star... not a performer.
Brock Lesnar fought Couture when he was 31. I can believe by the time he got to 38 against Dean Ambrose he was a egotistical lazy guy who only cared about money.
@@MorrisseyMuse Just because someone is big, doesnt mean they can fight. Jon Jones (who is almost half the size of Braun) would mop the floor with him.
Great video as always, though, does anyone experience issues with the volume? Like, in some videos the intro is loud af, here it's the audience clapping. I hesitate to watch your videos with headphones because of that.
Not illegal, it was a fertility drug that contained a banned substance in the sports industry. He wasn't aware of it, and thus suffered a suspension for it. He certainly wasn't on anything that gave him an advantage in that fight.
He was on Clomid. It’s not really a performance enhancer but it is something guys take after they’ve taken steroids. Brock was likely on Test while working with WWE. UFC contacted him and threw a ton of money at him to save their card. Brock got off steroids but still popped for the Clomid, which kickstarts your natural testosterone production after taking testosterone. Bottom line... Brock wasn’t on steroids when he beat Hunt. Now whether he was on steroids before signing onto fight is a different story. But in that case he had every right to be. Because he wasn’t a UFC fighter and hadn’t been for years before the UFC contacted him about the Hunt fight.
@@alexubel I agree that the Clomid didn’t give him an advantage in the fight and he would have beaten down Hunt regardless. And it wouldn’t shock me if Brock legit didn’t know Clomid was on the banned list. If anything, popping for Clomid showed Brock was trying to be clean for the fight. Because Clomid kickstarts your NATURAL testosterone production. Whether he was on testosterone before signing onto fight is irrelevant because he had been retired from mma for years at that point. He was free to be on Test if he wanted to. People have an irrational hatred for Brock for some reason and try to downplay his mma accomplishments all the time.
@@mariosargiropoulos1715 if Brock doesnt know then it's okay for him to be apologized is a immature statement, this is a strict professional business, usada decides the rules not Lesnar , if it was banned ,doesn't matter how and what it took, the things that are banned are most violating drugs that gives performance boost and enhancement that's the reason usada declared it no contest cuz there were no doubts
Age has never meant a thing to Couture. He was the "grizzled old veteran" the first time he set foot in the octagon. Decisively beating everyone that people thought he couldn't compete with. "They're too young for him." "Too fast for him." "Too big for him." It never really mattered. Randy could compete with anyone.
In highest weight classes, age doesn't matter to that magnitude like they are already slow so the chin is the only suspect other than that they can hang for a while if they have a strategy
Are you talking about the Hunt fight? Pretty sure Brock popped for Clomid. That’s not testosterone. Brock wasn’t on Test when he fought Hunt. Was he on Test a few months before? Yes. That’s why he was taking Clomid. You take Clomid AFTER you take steroids. It kickstarts your natural testosterone production once you’re off Test.

so so true
@Drupiter that you even know the term 'kayfabe' should tell you something.
Its probably the only real reason Jim Cornette hates Paul Heyman. Paul Heyman is the only one who can out-kayfabe Jim Cornette.
I could genuinely sit in a room with Heyman and listen to him talk for days, he’s got to be one of the best talkers we’ve ever seen in wrestling hands down.
@DJHart if he's inspiring that kind of emotion in you, he's doing his job perfectly.
@@AshRain-nu3vz exactly
Nah. Will get boring after a while.
Paul Heyman’s wrestling knowledge is comparable to that of Jim Cornette.
Both are the best wrestling historians in the business.
I don’t agree with most of the shit Cornette says, but ya gotta admit it’s a pretty great comparison
Heyman's Austin impression is gold
He spent alot of time on the road with him? It should be
check out his austin impression on the rise and fall of ecw dvd, it's great.
Heyman has a ton of spot on impersonations.
I scrolled to like this comment
@@boobins66 The jerry jarret smokey mountain wrestling impersonation is my favorite.
Is Paul Heyman ever not in character? 😂
No his character is exactly how he is in person alot of people who have met him will straight up say that
He is a character
Yep, Paul’s always like this. He came out the womb carny.
I don't think it's much of a character I think that's just how Paul is
I don't think he acts xD he's just given a rough script and wings it!
That Stone Cold impression was 10/10
It was
Seriously that impersonation was incredible yeo
@@gangg1762 too bad Steve just apologized to Dean, so while the impression was good, the statement was false.
@@HuntertheWraithDragon He was the bigger man by apologizing. You know damn well Steve was still pissed off internally.
🔥🔥🔥💯
When Heyman talks, I can't tell if he's in kayfabe or not. It's insane
That’s that ECW state of mind
When he’s talking about brock, high likely kayfabe. If it’s other wrestlers or past wrestlers he worked with, he sounded more like a life story teller which i doubt it’s kayfabe.
I don't think it's Keyfabe. Heyman's a natural storyteller, he knows how to engage you in what he's got to say, he might sound like he's cutting a promo, but he knows you're listening to every single word. Imagine him trying to sell you a warranty.
How it's supposed to be.
This dude will forever be a legend in this business for his ability to stay in character and drop a promo like none other
Paul Heyman could disprove gravity if he wanted to lol
nailed it
Lloyd A. All without ever really answering the question lol
He could tell me the earth is flat and I'd believe every god damn word
Only to those with anti-science attitudes.
You hear stories about how Paul Heyman could talk his way in and out of anything. An interview like this lets you know those stories aren't bullshit.
The problem with the match against Dean was it had so much build to it and so it didn't live up to the expectations. There was no need to show the chainsaw if they weren't really gonna use it.
This is what this whole about Dean wanted to do more in match, and had planned and pitched crazy spots in the match and Brock didn't want to do them
Yeah Brock is pretty selfish because he doesn't want any spot to make him look remotely weak. He was a little more humble before he got over. It is clear that he doesn't really care much about the WWE he just wants a check. Honestly would rather him stay in the UFC.
@@Wumbology378 He sold beautifully for AJ and Daniel Bryan. Something must have happened with him and Dean, not saying he should have sabotaged the match of course.
Brock didn't want to risk injury cause he had a fight 3-4 months later.
@@uncensored008 You are 100% correct, Brock didnt want to risk a injury, he had a 8 million dollar pay day waiting. I am from Cinci and want very very badly to see Ambrose be all he can be. He got royally fucked, speaking purely creative, by WWE. This goofy poor comedic character he was for two years was horrible and never what he should have been. I also blame Ambrose, because we hear story after story of top guys taking more control of their character. It was widely reported Dean would 100% stick to script and deliver exactly what WWE wanted, that is one reason they like him. So WWE is misusing him and he is doing nothing on his end to correct that. Another thing that I think really hurt Dean in WWE and the same thing happened with Paige. They are great performers and very intelligent people, but both High School drop outs, they're intelligent but not educated. This really shows when Dean is interviewed, example The SCSA Podcast was a disaster. When The Shield broke up it looked like Dean was ready to be the guy, The Brock match, SCSA Podcast, and AJ Styles being amazing is what did Ambrose in. Lets not shed tears for Dean though, he made millions of dollars performing his craft around the world and met his wife all while in WWE. He had a good run, it just could have been so much more speaking creatively.
Such a sleazy salesman hahaha 😂 asked a genuine question and he just cuts a worked promo
Matthew Ferris that’s what Paul does best
He's what wwe need since kayfabe is dead
Wwe needs more Heymans. They draw tickets and keep kayfabe alive sometimes
There is a lot of info he gave out if we read between the lines
The bit about Braun was true. Braun legitimately kneed Lesnar in the head so Lesnar rocked Brauns jaw and told him to slow it down. I don't blame brock one bit.
I love Paul. He legit says so much and gives so much info... without actually answering the question. He never really answered the question of what happen with the Brock vs Dean match. He gave so insight and gave a few pieces of info but never really answered it. This man is a god of this business and can work a crowd like no one ever has.
If Paul had Dean back in ECW it would've been pure blissful pro wrestling magic
for a limited time before he left because ECW stars rarely got paid.
@Jonathan Williams The Dean Ambrose gimmick kinda got stale for me and the germaphob gimmick didn't do any good for him. I perfer Jon Moxley because he has more input and say in how HIS character will act. The feud between Moxley and CM Punk has been glorious
@Jonathan Williams you do know Moxley has been on AEW for like 3 years now? Dude has had some awesome matches in that time span.
@@stuffmcstuff399 Moxley will wrestle in someone's backyard if you ask him.. I don't think he would care about the money

Most entertaining “no comment” answer in history 😂 love Heyman
basically, brock had an upcoming fight and didn't wanna do anything dangerous in the dean match. i think everyone remembers how pedestrian that match was.
Actually it was Ambrose who refused to do most spots
@@MorrisseyMuse That's not what I heard. Ambrose said that Lesnar didn't want to do anything he suggested, and just wanted to do his usual lazy suplex spamming crap.
@@MorrisseyMuse Find that hard to believe Guy use to basically kill himself in the indies. he would have taken some awesome bumps is Lesnar was more giving.
@@SithCats that I believe Brock nothing but a over payed talentless performer
@@MorrisseyMuse no it's not you dumb ass
So basically Heyman is just confirming that when Brock doesn’t get over, he throws a hissy fit and actually fights people out of frustration, shocker.
Josh V you really think that’s not how he actually is?
Lol, god ur a mark. You’re a marks mark. Lol
Brock Lesnar is just as lazy as his Grandpa Paul Fatty Heyman.
Liberties you say?
Go fuck off you potato looking Samoan Ass kisser Paul Fatty Heyman!
Ambrose on his worst day can *bitch slap* and *humiliate* and *beat the crap outta* Steve Baldy Austin,Baldy fatty Paul Heyman and Brock "Lazy" Lesnar!
*Mic drop*
I wouldn't necessarily say he's lazy. When he cares about his opponent then you're probably gonna get a good match. He had a great match with Punk at Summerslam 2013. It was an extreme stipulation as well. If Brock wanted to make it a good match then he would've. But Brock had a UFC fight he was readying for... right? So he prioritized not doing much so he wouldn't get hurt before his fight. That means Dean doesn't get to do much, that means Dean goes in with an attitude.
@@rafaelflores4968
Ambrose had "crazy" ideas in his mind and knowing him he would have obviously opted for taking big time damage at the hands of Lesnar which would make him appear as a legit tough no quit person against the Beast.
Now those ideas of course would have Ambrose taking big nasty bumps off the ladder,tables,etc.
Brock just needed to throw Ambrose off some high spots.
You are saying he couldn't even do that?
Isn't that *lazy* now?
Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman should not be having a job if they are so complacent.
If you all scream out that Paul Heyman has a good wrestling mind then why isn't he in the WWE creative?
I'll tell you why...casue he must have denied the offer which of course he has got a lot of times and he is again *lazy* just as his client.
I was asked recently who I thought had the most charisma in wrestling by a friend while we were both randomly watching an old Randy Savage promo. I’ve been a fan for 25 years but started watching religiously in the Attitude Era. My friend was astonished but then couldn’t really disagree after he thought about it, that, without hesitation, I answered Paul Heyman. He’s different class on that microphone.
This guy is awesome. He makes it seem real. We need more of this.
Why isn’t Paul heyman in the HOF already? He’s done so much for this business
SuperJoker252 not retired
Credit Edit that’s not the case, kurt angle was inducted 2 or 3 years ago & he is still with the company.
Like ripping off the majority of his employees and killing his own business?
Damn right, I stopped watching Wwe 4 years ago because it’s just garbage now. But yes heyman for the hof shit I’ll go back to watching wwe if they have him as the GM of smack down because Paul heyman’s smackdown that’s why.
Dumbfuck he isnt retired
WWE is trying to blur the lines of reality with Triple H talking about Ric Flair and Becky and Ronda but they need to have Paul teach them how to do it correctly.
I think we are starting to get into reality imitating art imitating reality. This is the kind of stuff Vince Russo said the WWE needs to do. That was 3 years ago. Bring the UFC stuff up. Bring up the fact that Lesnar doesn't care, or doesn't he? Seems most of the locker room, kayfabe, will be behind Seth to win.
Eh if that's the direction they're going in then give me a time machine and let me fuck off back to the 80s when this shit used to be about fun. Give me a cartoonish gravel voiced meathead shouting into the camera during a backstage interview any day. Better than this twitter wars will they or won't they soap opera bullshit. Heyman's an expert at weaving it and almost makes it half entertaining, but it's still a sad and boring way to take it. I haven't cared about anything Brock's been involved in in years, what would be the point? WWE are trying way too hard to outsmart unimportant internet randoms, to the detriment of being actually entertaining much. Now I heard Ronda's turned heel I was thinking of giving the main shows a look-in again for the first time since she debuted, but with shit like this still being their attitude... maybe not after all.
Wasn't this all just better when it was fun? I don't care who got one intellectually over who or what particular arrangement of the fourth wall we're not entirely sure we're looking at. I want to watch a giant human cartoon beat up another giant human cartoon for the simple reason that that's what they're both there to do. Attach whatever other drama you want to that and sometimes that works (NXT for good examples) but at the end of the day I still need that core. When it's plain trunks versus plain trunks over internet beef all the time, my brain just switches off. Wrestling needs to go backwards.
And if it's what Vince Russo said they need to be doing, then doesn't that just say it all?
Rumor has it Heyman has been working with Ronda on her promos
Whether Paul is in character here or not Dean’s interview with Austin will always upset me. The questions asked were very invasive, and it’s well known that Jon is a very private man. So asking about his issues with drugs and his absent parents was unprofessional. It’s no wonder he shut down.
Thank you! Exactly! Idk, how anyone can blame Ambrose and NOT Stone Cold for those questions (there was no good reason to ask them). Not to mention the part where Stone Cold was telling Ambrose to go above and beyond in WWE as if Ambrose could control his own position in the company and he's not controlled by WWE (Dean was telling him that things don't work the way he thinks they do anymore). I like both SCSA and Ambrose. However, SCSA was 100% to blame for the quality of that interview.
If SCSA just stuck to questions about wrestling, training, promos, etc., then that interview would've been MUCH better. But asking someone questions about something that CLEARLY bothers them and getting upset at them for not doing well in the interview is absolutely insane! That's not even sensitive or being a snowflake if that bothers him (ppl have claimed that, despite the fact that his past was pretty effed up). That's simply Dean being human.
Zascrim 100% my ass. Ambrose came off as half a man in that interview. He was like a little high school boy in the dean's office.
that interview genuinely made me hate steve austin. he needed to take the fucking hint. dean is known for never wanting to talk about his childhood and steve austin just would not let that subject drop. it was awful.
@bill gates "The difference is Austin is an alpha, and Ambrose is a beta, and it showed."
Can't believe I just read this sentence, actually typed out by someone, without a trace of irony.
Anyway, Dean had just become WWE champ at the time and Steve probably made him come on the show. Dean isn't usually one for interviews but he'll concede if asked for one.
My takeaways from this interview:
- Jericho was right in that Brock did take liberties with Orton
- Heyman either purposely ignored or wasn’t aware Ambrose/Moxley/Goode was specifically told he wouldn’t be asked questions about his dad, which Stone Cold did and has since apologized for
- Either the match goes exactly like Brock wants, or he doesn’t work and takes liberties. Cool. I mean it’s not, but cool.
Orton took liberties with many other wrestlers as well... it's part of the biz
Rodshark75 orton is one of if not the most safest to work with
lol at orton, u know the elbow to cut him open was scripted right? Randy agreed to it
No that’s just moxley’s Attitude smark
@Ziad Khaled mate, vince made the call so it was scripted to happen. Many may not have known about it, doesn't mean it wasnt scripted. Why did brock get away with it then? Vince made the call randy agreed only them 4 knew about it.
He does a damn fine Stone Cold impression 😄
He does a spot on Michael Hayes impression, a damn good Vince Mcmahon and a pretty good Stephanie one too
In Dean’s defense, and he said this, he was pretty annoyed because Stone Cold was asking him questions that had he given honest answers to, he clearly would’ve gotten in trouble given he was working for the damn company. So he just didn’t say much at all.
Well he shouldn't have shown up intoxicated. Steve is always going to take that as an insult
@@nicholasroberts7891 lol who said he showed up intoxicated? I’ve never heard that
@@UnclePyro21 pfft he was intoxicated in everything he did haha. Did you even hear him on Steve Austin's podcast. Slurring words, incoherent answers not even related to the question. Dean never fully explained why he said he was pissed off coming out to the ring that night.. when later on in his answer he claimed it was Brock not wanting to work that pissed him off. He didn't even have his stories half straight and they didn't make sense.
@@nicholasroberts7891 oh okay so you’re just making things up lol got it. If you can provide literally any legit article/quote/video etc with anybody saying he was intoxicated on this interview I’ll quit laughing at you.
@@nicholasroberts7891 like remember when they accused JR of being drunk on the 2k14 panel? And fired him? We always heard about Jeff Hardy, Jimmy Uso, or anybody else who gets in trouble for drinking even if it wasn’t an arrest or something, and was in a controlled situation. Even if Dean didn’t get a punishment (which he would) I guarantee you if he was “intoxicated” on this podcast with Austin, especially if he did it repeatedly we would’ve at the very least heard about it. Please don’t come into a comment section stating your opinions as proven knowledge “well he shouldn’t have showed up intoxicated” and literally not a soul has ever even alluded to such in this or any other interview. But since you don’t think his answers make since he must just be a drunk right? Gtfo 😂
Heyham is such a good shit talker 😂
king 304 did you add ham because he’s fat?😂good one
Heyman keeping it kayfabe. Love it.
That is what he should be doing.
He may be legit. Wrestlers deliberately having terrible matches or even deliberately injuring each other in the ring is not unheard of, and if Brock Lesnar would have wanted to sandbag or shoot on Moxley then there is nothing he could have done about it.
I think he was booked to win, but Moxley's attitude (or complaints about the booking) led to Brock taking some liberties with his lighter opponent.
Say what you will about that man but no one can deny that Paul Heyman is one of the greatest talkers in professional wrestling.
Normal people when they want to relax - Massage or ASMR
Wrestling fans when they want to relax - listen to Paul Heyman ramble about wrestling for 48 hours
Listening to Paul Heyman does not help me relax; it psyches me up way too much.

@@jaydhake6222 Well actually everyone knows Brock can go, and ye his move set was the same.. the point is his selling in those matches. You and me both know Brock does not have to sell for any of those guys listed hell he barely sells for Braun but he made them great match's cos of his selling and willingness to work with his opponent. It was literally Balors best match in a year so you can't say Balor carried him.
What was Ambrose supposed to do on the SC podcast, bury Brock for not wanting to do anything and effectively ruining Dean's first WM singles match? He would've been buried by WWE if he had. I'm amazed everyone is so dumb about this.
Btw, how much did those people pay per ticket to get kayfabed by Heyman?
There's entertainment value worth the money spent in getting worked by someone as good as Heyman.
That story from this same event about Undertaker had me rolling. He had those marks believing, just straight believing Lesnar just decided he was going to take out Taker mid match.
If he'd done that at a WM match, against Taker of all people, VKM would have made sure through legal action he was never heard from again. Off WWE TV, enforce his contract to keep him off other TV, refuse to let him fight in UFC and go after intellectual property usage anytime anyone put him on UA-cam or a podcast.
There’s legitimate respect between Taker & Brock, their 2015 matches were brutal & awesome!
Wow... coming back to watch this after Talk Is Jericho w/ Jon Moxley, after he revealed what was really going on behind the scenes... it makes you realise two things:
1) Just how depressed he was (having to go on Web MD is not a good sign)
2) Paul could give Michael Cole a run for who's Vince's top Schill.
By what I've seen.... Dean is anti social. He hates people.

Brandon Byes
OH it’s True! It’s True. 😁
Fails to mention that after Brock beat Mark Hunt, he tested positive for performance enhancing drugs.
He tested positive before the fight, that's why marks taking them to court
He tested positive for Clomid. Brock didn’t take steroids to fight Mark. Brock was on steroids beforehand, which he had every right to be, because he wasn’t competing. The UFC contacted him and threw a ton of money at him if he’d save their card and fight.
I’m sure he told them he was on Test. He stopped taking Test but began taking Clomid, which is what guys take after taking steroids to kickstart their natural testosterone production.
It’s not that Clomid itself is a performance enhancer, as much as it shows the person was previously on performance enhancers.
I’m sure Brock even told the UFC there was a chance he would fail the test. The UFC didn’t care because they needed him to sell tickets. This is why Mark Hunt was so pissed off.
@@mariosargiropoulos1715 "He did take them to beat mark & had every right to be on steroids because he wasn't competing"
Yeah that totally him going into a match jumped up on steroids. He should come clean that he was full of more testosterone than a adult bull and need to get off his roids. If the company legitimately knew and didn't care then they are just as fake as the wwe.
Paul Hayman talks so fast and clearly. He could of had a re appearing guest spot on Gilmore Girls.
That is so funny, random, and true all at the same time.
Lazy is why block can't pass a drug screening to fight in the mma.
Hell, no one they (MMA commissions) don't want to deal with can pass a drug screening. All of them are one PED's and only when they want to punish somebody or get them out for a while they will "fail" a drug test. If they are playing ball and not causing problems and drawing money... they will never fail a test unless they want the controversy. MMA is as fake as wrestling anymore in the main event scene.
BUUUUULLLLL LLLLLLLLOCCCKKKKK LLLLLEEESSSSSSNNNAAARRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!! JK I know it was a typo block/brock but it was just funny imagining Heyman saying Block Lesnar. (not trolling :) )
turns out Austin wasn't all that mad about Dean
I can't wait to see Austin do another podcast with Moxley. He now knows what buttons not to push
From what I've read he had a troubled childhood. I don't blame him for not wanting to talk about it on the podcast. It might have been awkward but I think if Stone Cold knew a little about it he would have directed his questions differently.
2:00 god damn i thought i was hearing steve speak there for a minute, good impression
Here's the problem: Ambrose's complaints about Lesnar have been corroborated by other people and by anyone who has bothered to pay attention. Lesnar is only interested in things that make him look good, not putting on good matches or getting his opponent over.
By who? Everyone else had nothing but praise for Lesnar. AJ, Bryan and Seth all loved working with him
@@ChadBenjamin Yes because Brock was done with MMA when he waw working with them. Against Ambrose he had one eye on his UFC return against Mark Hunt which is why he did a minimalist match with Dean
I think it was bad timing. Brock can be a good worker when his head and heart is in it (as you could tell it was during his stuff with Rollins) but by the time it came for him and Ambrose to go at it, Brock was already looking ahead to his next MMA fight and had checked out on whatever he had to do for WWE.
Brock has clearly never been in the business for a genuine passion and it’s obvious that he has no problem going through the motions and putting in minimal effort if his interests lay elsewhere.
I think it’s really luck of the draw as to whether you’re going to get a Lesnar who is invested in the storyline or a Lesnar who is just bored and waiting to go home and cash his check.
absolute bullshit
Paul Heyman has the best Stone Cold impression I've ever heard 😭😂
no one walks the line between kayfabe & shoot like Heyman. Ronda should watch this & take notes

Brock Lesnar is *lazy right now* in the WWE.
He has worked hard in the past and build up his resume.

I'm focusing on his *current* status.
If he shows up once in 4 months,then he should at least respect his position and give us a quality show instead of acting like a stubborn kid and producing a shit match everytime he steps foot in a ring.
All he had to do with Ambrose was throw him here and there from high spots so that Ambrose could be presented more as a no quit guy against a beast.
But he didn't cause he got stubborn and lazy when he found that Ambrose has got way more crazy, innovative and creative ideas than he himself could ever have.
Same with Orton and countless others.
His once in four months matches doesn't even surpass 10 minutes of in ring time.
He was caught saying "Help me out man" to Braun Strowman cause he had got tired and then proceeded to end the match in 3-4 minutes.

Ripping Dean during the Stone Cold interview? Dean was pissed off because Steve kept interrupting him, Dean would try to answer, but every time......The rest of what Heyman said makes sense.
Dean has been trying to be a Steve Austin / Brian Pillman hybrid and it never worked for me.
@@baxterbrownentertainment I never said he isn't.....I was only talking about the stone cold interview, Stone cold kept interrupting dean before dean could talk......Other than that yeah he may very well lazy and uncooperative....I don't know. Some people have a hard time getting things out and when you intterupt them, it makes it worse.
@@baxterbrownentertainment the point of an interview is questions are asked, then answered......but stone cold asked questions and before dean could really answer or as he's halfway through answering, stone cold would ask another question.....Give the man time to answer, then ask your next question. Sometimes I can be slow to answer, I need to think of the right wording, or I can't really think of how to answer a question.....interrupting me isn't going to help, it's going to make me agitated......maybe that's what Dean was like, maybe he's just lazy and doesn't give a shit, who knows.......I'm just putting that out there.......
@@baxterbrownentertainment How is Ambrose lazy exactly? At one point, he had the highest work rate out of everyone in the locker room (never took off days, worked every show, including most (if not all) live events). He only had a dip in that number after that arm injury, which caused him to ALMOST DIE. Then, he trained super hard to come back to wrestling to the point where he comes back jacked. This is me merely scratching the surface! Does that sound lazy to you? A lazy person, especially after almost losing their life due to an injury, would get super fat and may have even quit wrestling. Like I said before, how is this man lazy??
(Just to anyone acting as if Dean isn't a tough guy) Having a super messed up childhood (this man was the 'man of the house' super young (father wasn't there, according to Dean) before most 'men' calling this MAN beta), being in the streets and in that struggle and not letting that consume him, becoming super successful despite going through all of that horrible stuff, getting himself a wife, having such a stable living to the point where he has lots of plans, did some hardcore wrestling in the past (dangerous legit hits like hitting a real guitar over someone's head (not a thin cheap)), and he's not wrestling because of the money but because he loves it (aka no one is FORCING/MAKING him wrestle bc he WANTS to) is considered beta? I mean, the definitions of Alpha and Beta in today's society are subjective, however, if 'beta' is implying that he's some sort of weak or soft, then that's a bit ridiculous. Seems some like to talk about the man without any knowledge of his past... (not acting like an expert on his life or anything (not everything is put out), but this info is more than enough to give a basic sense of who Dean is).
It is in my humble opinion that the next the Brock decides that someone did him wrong in a match and proceeds to fight for real, the one he is wrestling should give it right back and hopefully teach Brock a lesson. If Brock had pulled that stunt on the Undertaker of 20 years ago, the conversation would be far different.
Brock is not lazy by any means, however Brock has a mindset of no matter what he does in the ring (either by getting real or by phoning it in), he will be free of consequences and he is basically right. Someday soon he’s gonna pull a stunt like that and he’s the ones that’s gonna get hurt, he just has to pull it on the right guy. And hopefully the one guy will be someone he underestimates so he pulls that stunt.
I wait for that day with extreme anticipation. Also agreed on Taker. Michaels tried to pull similar 💩 back in the day. All it took was The Undertaker quietly wrapping his hands in Gorilla for Michaels to straighten up.
that impression of Austin was spot on lol
Dean Ambrose had every right to be annoyed with Leaner. He wanted to have a good match and Lesnar wanted to be lazy and just.squash him. Dean Ambrose hasn't got as much pull and creative freedom as Stone Cold did when he did the podcast so it's not a fair comparison.
How the hell was that Dean’s fault?
@LeCoolFace How?? Kindly explain
@@arkanandi1230 From what I have heard Ambrose wanted to do all sorts of dangerous high flying spots, use barbed wire, thumbtacks and other "EXTREME" gimmicks. Lesnar didn't. Lesnar had far more clout and creative control so it went his way. According to some sources, this caused Ambrose (like in the Austin podcast) to just kind of give up, go passive, and sandbag the match since he didn't get anything he wanted. So when he started sandbagging (meaning not giving much energy and effort into the performance), Brock started getting stiffer and rougher to let him know he needs to do business or else.
Ironically, the same thing happened in WCW between Chris Jericho and Goldberg. Jericho had all these great ideas for a rivalry and feud, he was denied and told to get squashed by the head guy at the time, so when the match came, Jericho did business and gave it his all even though he was pissed and disappointed that creative were being idiots that were messing up a massive opportunity.
And THAT is the difference between a star and a performer. Ambrose is a performer, not a star. Jericho is a star and a performer, and Lesner/Goldberg is just a star... not a performer.
Paul the best talker wrestling and he just rolls like he doesn't even rehearse his lines just makes it up on the go it seems
Brock Lesnar fought Couture when he was 31. I can believe by the time he got to 38 against Dean Ambrose he was a egotistical lazy guy who only cared about money.
Jesus Paul's Stone Cold impression is ON POINT
Mark Hunt has a brother named Mike!😉
And his brother changed his last name to hawke
@Anthony Stafford sore jick!
Austin said in his podcast with Tony Kahn he and jon moxley have no beef and talked it over
Pauls face at summerslam 21 was a perfect reaction
Heyman is a Legend ..........PERIOD
I can't wait for Heyman to actually speak his mind. Please tell me he's done with this Brock Lesnar crap.
Heyman is so good with wrestling psychology. What a talent that guy is.
Paul Heyman: You dont cross BROCK LESNAR!!
Cain Velasquez, Alistair Overeem: 😂
The Ripped Reaper
USDA: I kicked both their asses!
@Mister B Lol! put a big mother like Braun in a UFC cage and he'd murder every one!
@@MorrisseyMuse Just because someone is big, doesnt mean they can fight. Jon Jones (who is almost half the size of Braun) would mop the floor with him.
@@wrath_of_thrawn2163 Valasquez was only 235 when he fought Brock, who was atleast 290 (fighting weight)
@@MorrisseyMuse Ken Shamrock, at 55 years old, 5'11", 240lbs, would absolutely MURDER Brawn Strowman in a UFC cage in about 2 1/2 minutes.
Great video as always, though, does anyone experience issues with the volume? Like, in some videos the intro is loud af, here it's the audience clapping. I hesitate to watch your videos with headphones because of that.
kayfabe alive with this one folks
Heyman has his IMPRESSIONS ON POINT!
Gotta love Heyman he’s interviewed by host and he’s looking at the crowd talking to crowd like he’s doing a promo in on Smackdown
I loved Paul Heyman's Stone Cold impersonation 🤣🤣👍
Wasn't Brock allegedly on Illegal substances when he beat Mark Hunt?
Not illegal, it was a fertility drug that contained a banned substance in the sports industry. He wasn't aware of it, and thus suffered a suspension for it. He certainly wasn't on anything that gave him an advantage in that fight.
Lol he was juiced up to his eyeballs like he always is.
He was on Clomid. It’s not really a performance enhancer but it is something guys take after they’ve taken steroids. Brock was likely on Test while working with WWE. UFC contacted him and threw a ton of money at him to save their card. Brock got off steroids but still popped for the Clomid, which kickstarts your natural testosterone production after taking testosterone.
Bottom line... Brock wasn’t on steroids when he beat Hunt.
Now whether he was on steroids before signing onto fight is a different story. But in that case he had every right to be. Because he wasn’t a UFC fighter and hadn’t been for years before the UFC contacted him about the Hunt fight.
@@alexubel I agree that the Clomid didn’t give him an advantage in the fight and he would have beaten down Hunt regardless. And it wouldn’t shock me if Brock legit didn’t know Clomid was on the banned list.
If anything, popping for Clomid showed Brock was trying to be clean for the fight. Because Clomid kickstarts your NATURAL testosterone production.
Whether he was on testosterone before signing onto fight is irrelevant because he had been retired from mma for years at that point. He was free to be on Test if he wanted to.
People have an irrational hatred for Brock for some reason and try to downplay his mma accomplishments all the time.
@@mariosargiropoulos1715 if Brock doesnt know then it's okay for him to be apologized is a immature statement, this is a strict professional business, usada decides the rules not Lesnar , if it was banned ,doesn't matter how and what it took, the things that are banned are most violating drugs that gives performance boost and enhancement that's the reason usada declared it no contest cuz there were no doubts
Paul is always a master worker. One year later when Ambrose went on the Jericho podcast, we found out the story was completely different!
Shoot? This is pure promo, man.
This is the best talker in profesional wrestling history. Even in the talkshow.
Paul Heyman is the best talker ever. Inside and outside of the wrestling world.
This man has legendary mic skill. *Mic drop*
Spot on Steve Austin Impression
Paul, say something stupid.
Paul Heyman did a _spot-on_ Stone Cold impression!!
This was literally filmed years ago and its just coming out
Fr?
Wasn't Randy Couture like 75 when he fought Brock?
he's 56 atm so. no
He was mid-40's IIRC but still rightful HW champion with a couple defenses.
Age has never meant a thing to Couture. He was the "grizzled old veteran" the first time he set foot in the octagon. Decisively beating everyone that people thought he couldn't compete with. "They're too young for him." "Too fast for him." "Too big for him." It never really mattered. Randy could compete with anyone.
He was the UFC heavyweight champion, dude.
In highest weight classes, age doesn't matter to that magnitude like they are already slow so the chin is the only suspect other than that they can hang for a while if they have a strategy
So Heyman is just cutting a Brock Lesnar promo. Shocking. Totally.
I like how Heyman left out the part where Lesnar got popped for Bull testosterone
Are you talking about the Hunt fight?
Pretty sure Brock popped for Clomid. That’s not testosterone. Brock wasn’t on Test when he fought Hunt. Was he on Test a few months before? Yes. That’s why he was taking Clomid. You take Clomid AFTER you take steroids. It kickstarts your natural testosterone production once you’re off Test.
I was not expecting his Stone Cold impression to be that fucking spot on holy shit
Paul Heyman he's just the sophisticated version of Jim cornette
If you know Jonathan Good's background, you know why he would be upset by this "angle".
now then let's compare his Austin podcast "performance" with the Jericho one... and unfortunately Heyman is covering for that shit wwe team...
@@pisto30 moxley annihilated kayfabe in the jericho interview what are you talking about
What happened when Cain and Overeem took liberties with Lesnar??
Paul is God's gift to the wrestling business. No one can fucking hang with him on the mic except for Cornette
How old was Randy Couture at the time? How long was it between Couture's fight with Lesnar and his last fight before that? 15 months of inactivity?
