Samoa Joe was recently a guest on 102.5 The Bone’s Drew Garabo Live. He spoke on a wide variety of topics about his career. One of the topics that he spoke about was Brock Lesnar.
Samoa Joe faced Brock at the ‘Great Balls of Fire’ Pay-Per-View. Joe lost the match but appeared to earn the respect of the ‘Beast Incarnate’ behind-the-scenes. This is according to a backstage report on how Lesnar felt about their match.
Joe spoke during the interview about Brock not wanting to pre-plan any of his matches:
“When you’re going in there and you’re going to get into it with Brock. Brock isn’t going to work on a lot of stuff; he’s going to want to go out there and he’s going to want to get down, so like Brock’s not a preplanned dude at all, man, so you’ve just got to go out there and do it. For some people it trips them out, but for me, I’m like, ‘if we’re going to scrap, we’re going to scrap”
Joe also said his previous experiences wrestling against Kurt Angle helped him against Brock:
“Like, honestly, a lot of getting ready for Brock was realizing he’s basically a bigger Kurt Angle. But Kurt is… he’s crazy, man. We just had the documentary about him and everything I said is true. If Kurt Angle’s leg fell off, he’d hop twice as fast to make up for the loss of mobility, man. There’s no quit in him. It was kind of a nice primer to get ready for Brock.”
