5 Most controversial things Brock Lesnar has said in real life

#2 Brock Lesnar makes a serious accusation against Kurt Angle

Brock Lesnar and Kurt Angle were the best of friends during their stint in WWE. Their real-life friendship was featured in an angle soon after WrestleMania 19 in 2003, which saw both Superstars being involved in hilarious backstage segments. Brock Lesnar's feeling towards Angle did change a lot during his final days in WWE. In his book, Lesnar writes that he had made the decision to leave WWE in early 2004, and told Kurt Angle about it.

According to Brock Lesnar, Angle told Vince McMahon everything Lesnar had confided in him.

"Believing I could trust Kurt, I told him I was thinking of getting out of the business. I didn't tell anyone else, and he said he wouldn't either. But soon after I confided in him, I became convinced that Vince knew I was planning to leave. Did Kurt stooge me out?"

Brock Lesnar also wrote how Kurt Angle being an Olympic gold medalist didn't matter to Vince McMahon and Triple H, and all they saw in him was a "five-foot nine-inch guy in tights". Lesnar added that no matter how good he was in the ring, Angle could never be "larger than life".

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
