Despite this, The Undertaker had another nickname for the 43-year-old former WWE Superstar during their time in the company. The Deadman revealed on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast that he used to call the man who broke his WrestleMania streak Vanilla Gorilla.
"He’s a freak athlete. Oh my goodness [Brock Lesnar’s combine numbers], it’s ridiculous. He’s one of those guys that defy, you know, he was 260 pounds but his shot was like a 160. You can’t believe somebody his size can move the way he can move. He’s a freak athlete. I used to call him The Vanilla Gorilla. He was. He was just a freak, freak dude."
