When Brock Lesnar was invited to attend a WWF event in 2000, it marked the first time he'd ever been at a pro wrestling show. Not only that, it'd be the first time Vince McMahon would clap eyes on him. That's why Jim Ross and Gerald Brisco were eager to get 'The Beast' down, and they knew McMahon's reaction would be worth it.

It was. The way he described Lesnar to Ross is hilarious.

On his podcast, JR told how Vince walked past Brock, stopped dead in his tracks and began mumbling about blonde hair, his vascularity and how much he resembled both a Viking and a "heifer bull". After that, Vinnie Mac interrupted what he was doing to walk over and shake Lesnar's hand.

Everyone else watching could tell how enamoured the boss was by the amateur wrestling standout. McMahon was likely seeing dollar signs flashing before his eyes as he contemplated his next move. Thank God it wasn't calling Brock the 'Heifer Bull'. That would've had Mantaur 2.0 written all over it.
