Former WWE creative team member Kevin Eck's interview on The Wade Keller Pro Wrestling Podcast was an eye-opening one. When he wasn't telling how Vince McMahon didn't find Kaitlyn attractive or discussing his boss's general outlook on women's wrestling, Eck was revealing that McMahon once forgot what Brock Lesnar's finished was called.

Seriously.

One week, Vince asked his troops what plans were for Brock on the next pay-per-view. Upon learning that Lesnar was scheduled to go over with his trademark move, McMahon suddenly had quite the brain fart and couldn't recall what that finisher was called. That's when one member of the team spoke up, muttering "F-5" to remind their forgetful leader.

Quickly, Vince laughed, remembered taking the move not too long before and remarked that it must have jolted him. Eck did say that (in fairness to him) McMahon has a lot to think about on show days, and it's not always easy for him to think of specific details.

Still, it's Brock freakin' Lesnar.
