Former WWE Champion JBL recently appeared on UnSKripted with Dr. Chris Featherstone and interacted with fans. He opened up on working and traveling with Brock Lesnar back in the day and revealed that The Beast had a lot of respect for a certain WWE legend.

Fun conversation, thanks. I could've talked wrestling all night. Appreciate the invite to be on your show. https://t.co/T1MiuY4U2a
We had a lot of fun. Brock really looked up to Curt Hennig and really respected Curt Hennig. Curt Hennig helped break me in, he rode with Curt, and I was good friends with Curt, so because of that, I traveled a lot with Brock.

Brock Lesnar and Curt Hennig were incredibly close in real life
Brock Lesnar had tons of respect for Curt Hennig and looked up to the WWE legend. Hennig's untimely passing left Brock Lesnar broken, and he was seen tearing up on camera while talking about him.
Curt Hennig passed away in February 2003, mere weeks before Brock Lesnar headlined the show in his first-ever WrestleMania. Brock went on to become one of the greatest Superstars in WWE history, and Hennig would have been proud of him had he been there to see his rise to the top.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
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.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
