Yahoo! Sports has posted a new interview with Triple H, during which he speaks on the process of negotiating to bring Brock Lesnar back to WWE. Additionally, Rey Mysterio offers his thoughts on what it was like when Lesnar first left WWE after his initial run in the company. The following are excerpts:
Triple H:
"Brock reached out to us when his UFC contract was done and I think he was just sticking his toe in the water to see if there was any interest," Paul Levesque (aka Triple H), WWE executive vice president, talent and live events, told Y! Sports prior to SummerSlam. "We spoke and the rest is history." There was a time where WWE fans thought they would never see Lesnar back with the company. "There had been some animosity a little bit in some ways between Brock and the WWE at various points," Levesque said. "Some of that was real, some of that was media."
Rey Mysterio:
"We were kind of disappointed when he left and just didn’t know what was going to happen with him trying out for the NFL and then shocking the world with the UFC," fellow WWE wrestler Rey Mysterio told Y! Sports. "Overall, he did what he wanted to do and you can’t take that away from any man or human being who wants to accomplish something or prove themselves in a certain sport."
Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
