20 Things We Learned From Brock Lesnar On Stone Cold's WWE Network Podcast

12. Working With The Rock

Stone Cold comments on how remarkable it is that Brock went from being an OVW rookie to wrestling The Rock in a main event less than a year into his debut. Lesnar tells a story of one of his first big matches being a triple threat in Australia vs. The Rock and Triple H, and jokes that they hung him out to dry, leaving him out of the loop on purpose as a teaching tool. Brock says Rock did a lot for him, and that people can say what they want about the Hollywood star, but that The Rock taught him to watch his back and to be selfish. He says if you want to make it in this business you have to have an element of selfishness, and even though it's a give and take, you take. Austin asks what it was like when he first won the title, and he says that all the travel and partying was very intriguing and stimulating, and Austin laughs, replying that "it's gotten me a few divorces."
