WWE Rumor Roundup: Vince McMahon told to fire former World Champion right in front of him; Superstar breaks silence after revealing she is not heterosexual; Next Brock Lesnar - 16 July 2020

#3 WWE thought they found the next Brock Lesnar

Jim Ross recently spoke about The Almighty Bobby Lashley on his podcast - Grilling JR. The veteran revealed that WWE had hoped for Lashley to become the next Brock Lesnar.

While talking about the comparison between the two - Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley, he noted that both are physical specimens and have a history of combat sports. He stated that while Brock Lesnar instantly fascinated Vince McMahon, that was not the case with Bobby Lashley.

''Vince [McMahon] did not meet Bobby like in the grandiose way that he met Brock Lesnar."

Here is what Jim Ross said about the comparisons between Lashley and Lesnar, and why WWE thought Lashley could become the next Brock Lesnar:

“It was a different deal, apples and oranges here. The comparison [between Lesnar and Lashley] was physical, you know? Lashley with this great strength, and of course the amateur background. He looked great, all the same things said about Brock. So I think that was why the comparison was made.” (H/T: Sescoops)
