Before aligning with Roman Reigns and The Bloodline, WWE Hall of Famer, Paul Heyman was Brock Lesnar's advocate. A wrestling legend now thinks he could do a better job than Heyman if he returned to manage The Beast Incarnate.

The legend in question is Sid Vicious (aka Sycho Sid). The 63-year-old was released from the Stamford-based company in 1997. Nearly 15 years later, he made a one-off return on the June 25, 2012, episode of RAW to defeat Heath Slater. In a recent interview with Attitude Era Podcast, the two-time WWE Champion revealed that his dream opponent was Brock Lesner.

Vicious also disclosed that he would be willing to return to the Stamford-based company after 12 years since his last appearance, to become The Beast Incarnate's manager, claiming he'd be better than Paul Heyman was during his run with the 47-year-old superstar.

"Brock Lesnar, that's who I'd like to work with, you know, as a dream match today. Me and him would draw money. It just hit me right now, I would like to also be his manager. You know, because we had some things in common, people compare us. And I don't know why he doesn't do his own talking. He seems like he's pretty good when he does talk. But I think I'd be a much better introduction for him than Paul Dangerly [Paul Heyman] was," he said. [5:42 - 6:07]

Former WWE Champion Sid Vicious will never return to in-ring competition

Sid Vicious last wrestled in 2017 at a Great North Wrestling (GNW) event. He defeated Paul Rosenberg in a one-on-one match. He has since stepped away from in-ring competition.

In his interview with Attitude Era Podcast, the former WWE Champion revealed that he does not plan to return to in-ring action due to his age and health condition.

"[Is there a chance we can expect a wrestling return?] No, I'm 63 years old. I had that fracture in 2000 and I've been going through that. Causes a lot of other problems like your other knee and stuff like that and I just couldn't do it," he said.

While Brock Lesnar has been absent from WWE TV since last year's SummerSlam, it would be interesting to see if he could return with Sid Vicious by his side.
