Ricardo Rodriguez spoke about his relationship with Brock Lesnar, and also the one that Lesnar shared with Alberto Del Rio. Needless to say, both were very healthy indeed:
"Yeah yeah yeah, he was really cool. He was always very nice to us. He was always nice to Alberto because he knows that Alberto did MMA. And he was always nice to me because he would see me in the ring, always before the show. He would see that I would be wrestling with the extras, or somebody else, or Nattie. So, I was always in the ring. He would see me do that," said Ricardo Rodriguez.
It also helped that Rodriguez came from an amateur wrestling background:
"He knows I know how to wrestle. I don't mean pro wrestling. He knows I know how to wrestle wrestle. Like Greco or freestyle. He knows that I know how to do that," said Ricardo Rodriguez. "So, he was nice to me. He was always nice to me and Alberto because of his MMA background."
