1 00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:06,300 The greatest combat athlete of all time versus the greatest sports entertainer 2 00:00:06,300 --> 00:00:10,780 of all time. The beast incarnate. Oh, my God. 3 00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:18,480 Lesnar. One of the most physical and unpredictable rivalries in history. 4 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:20,320 What the hell is Lesnar doing? 5 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,540 Those surprises are so cool. I felt like a little kid. 6 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:25,180 I'm not a superstar. 7 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:31,000 I'm an ass kicker. That's it. After being in the ring with Brock, I don't 8 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,520 any human physically. 9 00:00:32,940 --> 00:00:37,860 Brock Lesnar does not know what it's like to be number two. Neither does 10 00:00:37,860 --> 00:00:43,700 Reigns. And only one can be number one. 11 00:00:47,140 --> 00:00:52,340 When two legends collide. 12 00:00:53,480 --> 00:00:56,620 Their rivalry stays pinned in our minds forever. 13 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,420 This is where we break down the legendary stories behind the greatest 14 00:01:02,420 --> 00:01:03,420 of all time. 15 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:05,660 I'm Freddie Prinze Jr. 16 00:01:06,660 --> 00:01:09,180 And this is WWE Rivals. 17 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,040 Brock, not scared of anything. 18 00:01:15,540 --> 00:01:18,560 And Rey's going right after Lester. And the fight is on. 19 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,060 This rivalry is about the two alphas. 20 00:01:22,570 --> 00:01:28,810 of the wwe and that's brock lesnar and roman reigns brock lesnar is the biggest 21 00:01:28,810 --> 00:01:33,530 freak i've ever seen on any level in any sport i remember when i was in high 22 00:01:33,530 --> 00:01:38,530 school i saw this clip online of this freak athlete doing a shooting star 23 00:01:38,530 --> 00:01:40,490 in obw and it was brock lesnar 24 00:01:47,530 --> 00:01:50,550 This rivalry started right around 2012. 25 00:01:50,770 --> 00:01:55,690 Brock had already sort of been established as this monster from WWE. 26 00:01:56,410 --> 00:02:03,330 Who in the hell will be able to stop Brock Lesnar? On the other side, 27 00:02:03,390 --> 00:02:07,570 we saw what the WWE hoped was their future. 28 00:02:08,509 --> 00:02:11,410 Roman Reigns, reigning over the ring. 29 00:02:11,900 --> 00:02:15,460 Roman Reigns was the guy that we knew was going to be the man going forward. 30 00:02:15,460 --> 00:02:18,320 this, to me, is just the perfect matchup. You've got the ordained one. 31 00:02:18,580 --> 00:02:23,120 You've got this freak of nature that has walked into our business. I think it's 32 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:24,120 just a perfect setup. 33 00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:28,580 See that rather large individual over there? See him? 34 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,200 That's Brock Lesnar. 35 00:02:30,660 --> 00:02:34,740 Clearly, you look at the dude, and he's the Incredible Hulk, right? So you know 36 00:02:34,740 --> 00:02:36,240 the look is there. 37 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,500 You put him in any era, and it's going to work. 38 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,480 If you put them in the 80s, yep. Put them in the 70s, yep. 39 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:45,040 60s, yeah. 40 00:02:45,060 --> 00:02:47,340 50s, my God, they'd run. 41 00:02:48,300 --> 00:02:50,420 There's King Kong walking into the building. 42 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:57,760 When you have someone as massive as Brock Lesnar, you see him just throwing 43 00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:58,760 Henry. 44 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,020 You see him throwing the big show. 45 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,860 Being someone his size has its advantages, that's for sure. 46 00:03:06,460 --> 00:03:09,660 The industry was looking for the next big thing. 47 00:03:10,030 --> 00:03:14,570 Hogan's time was over. And then it was The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin and 48 00:03:14,570 --> 00:03:15,570 the Attitude Era. 49 00:03:15,590 --> 00:03:18,330 And the Attitude Era ran its course. 50 00:03:18,590 --> 00:03:22,010 Do you realize now what position you're in, Brock? 51 00:03:22,910 --> 00:03:27,230 And the next big thing was Brock Lesnar. 52 00:03:27,630 --> 00:03:32,010 And The Rock takes the little time. Rock's going to have a ball. Rush in the 53 00:03:32,010 --> 00:03:33,430 ring. And here we go. 54 00:03:33,670 --> 00:03:37,910 The Rock and Brock colliding with the title on the line. 55 00:03:41,540 --> 00:03:45,620 There's opportunities every day out there in life, but you've got to fight 56 00:03:45,620 --> 00:03:48,200 them. You've got to take them because there might not be tomorrow. 57 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:58,200 And that's exactly what 58 00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:58,739 I did. 59 00:03:58,740 --> 00:04:03,680 I went in and beat The Rock and became the youngest WWE champion in history. 60 00:04:04,500 --> 00:04:06,040 Looked like a killing machine, though. 61 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,280 Born to fight, fight to kill, but ready to die, but I never will. 62 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:15,620 If an alien was to come down to Earth and say, hey, listen, I'm going to ruin 63 00:04:15,620 --> 00:04:20,200 this whole thing you guys got going on unless one of your people can beat me 64 00:04:20,519 --> 00:04:22,520 We're sending Brock Lesnar. 65 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,740 That dude's the alpha male of our species. 66 00:04:25,100 --> 00:04:31,680 Brock Lesnar stretched and clawed his way to the top of the mountain to become 67 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,560 the WWE champion. 68 00:04:34,180 --> 00:04:35,720 Paul Heyman is... 69 00:04:36,390 --> 00:04:42,950 one of the greatest managers, advocates, special counsels that 70 00:04:42,950 --> 00:04:44,750 wrestling has ever seen. 71 00:04:45,130 --> 00:04:50,490 To see Paul Heyman hitch his wagon to any superstar, you know that he's got 72 00:04:50,490 --> 00:04:54,010 dollar signs in his eyes. He sees what that person's going to bring to the 73 00:04:54,010 --> 00:04:55,490 table. Paul Heyman is the best. 74 00:04:55,830 --> 00:05:01,330 The reason Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman made a perfect pairing was because Brock 75 00:05:01,330 --> 00:05:05,670 Lesnar was the greatest athlete on the face of the planet. 76 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,840 Brock Lesnar's ambitions and dreams were not limited to WWE. 77 00:05:12,140 --> 00:05:16,880 You know, to be able to transition the way he did from amateur to pro wrestling 78 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,200 to MMA. 79 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:28,540 I left the WWE because I wanted more. And I went out and challenged myself. 80 00:05:29,260 --> 00:05:33,900 The guy just takes over the WWE and then he leaves out of nowhere. When you're 81 00:05:33,900 --> 00:05:35,500 Brock Lesnar, you're going to go fight. 82 00:05:36,810 --> 00:05:42,770 I got into the UFC, became a UFC heavyweight champion, climbed that 83 00:05:42,910 --> 00:05:44,030 and here I am. 84 00:05:46,430 --> 00:05:48,310 Why did I come back to the WWE? 85 00:05:49,310 --> 00:05:53,710 I came back for one reason and one reason only, and that's to be the top 86 00:05:54,550 --> 00:05:58,130 To be the same guy that I was eight years ago when I left. 87 00:05:58,770 --> 00:06:01,550 To be the dominant wrecking machine that I am. 88 00:06:03,610 --> 00:06:06,210 Brock Lesnar, he had come back. 89 00:06:06,650 --> 00:06:11,310 And immediately been in the position as one of the biggest stars in the WWE. 90 00:06:12,150 --> 00:06:15,990 Roman Reigns, on the other hand, had to prove all that. 91 00:06:18,390 --> 00:06:22,970 If you really want to know who Roman Reigns is, you have to understand who 92 00:06:22,970 --> 00:06:23,970 Anoa 'i is. 93 00:06:25,450 --> 00:06:28,310 I was born and bred to be in that ring. 94 00:06:28,710 --> 00:06:30,730 This is just what we come from. 95 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:36,860 Roman Reigns is a part of the Anoa 'i Samoan wrestling dynasty. 96 00:06:37,700 --> 00:06:40,360 This dynasty is massive. 97 00:06:41,020 --> 00:06:45,320 My family is always, obviously, super ingrained in the business. 98 00:06:45,700 --> 00:06:52,080 My father, Sika. My uncle, Afa. My cousins, 99 00:06:52,340 --> 00:06:54,900 Yokozuna, Rikishi, Umaga, the Usos. 100 00:06:55,300 --> 00:06:58,300 The Rock's grandfather, Peter Maivia. 101 00:07:01,020 --> 00:07:06,980 His dream come true, and he's making my dream and also his family proud. 102 00:07:07,900 --> 00:07:14,120 The first time I ever saw Roman Reigns was in 1988 in Panama City, Florida, 103 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,620 his father, Sika, was wrestling for the Continental Wrestling Federation. 104 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:23,800 And he brought Roman into the locker room, holding his little boy by the 105 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:28,160 and you could just tell the charisma of this three -year -old. 106 00:07:28,460 --> 00:07:29,500 First time I... 107 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:31,740 Laid eyes on him.

You win the Royal Rumble. 134 00:09:16,250 --> 00:09:20,270 The winner goes to WrestleMania to face the WWE champion. 135 00:09:21,030 --> 00:09:27,350 The crowd wasn't digging me too much that night.

I 139 00:09:41,900 --> 00:09:44,700 don't know, there was just something about that many people being angry at 140 00:09:44,700 --> 00:09:45,700 same time. 141 00:09:49,660 --> 00:09:50,960 It's not what the crowd wanted. 142 00:09:51,220 --> 00:09:55,680 The last image of that Royal Rumble, though, is the show ending with The Rock 143 00:09:55,680 --> 00:09:58,200 raising Roman's hand, and the crowd just booing. 144 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,300 To hell with the crowd. 145 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,460 There was a bigger plan going forward. 146 00:10:04,780 --> 00:10:11,280 It was a 147 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,240 story about respect. 148 00:10:14,980 --> 00:10:16,380 That's been my whole career. 149 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:25,140 The same night that Roman Reigns 150 00:10:25,140 --> 00:10:29,120 wins the Royal Rumble, Brock Lesnar successfully, 151 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,220 Defends the WWE Championship. 152 00:10:32,740 --> 00:10:39,440 Brock has just a completely different 153 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:45,740 aura to him. With Brock, you're about to be in a really physical match. 154 00:10:47,140 --> 00:10:49,480 It's like magic watching these two. 155 00:10:49,820 --> 00:10:53,520 Roman believed in himself enough, and he's solid as a rock, man. 156 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,240 I'm going to beat you at WrestleMania. 157 00:10:58,190 --> 00:10:59,710 I'm going to take that title. 158 00:11:00,570 --> 00:11:01,570 You know it. 159 00:11:02,890 --> 00:11:03,890 I know it. 160 00:11:06,210 --> 00:11:10,630 Everybody knows how dangerous Brock is, but Roman steps right up to him and he's 161 00:11:10,630 --> 00:11:11,630 more than an equal. 162 00:11:12,110 --> 00:11:13,410 He's more than an equal. 163 00:11:19,350 --> 00:11:22,850 And, you know, they come at each other like two bulldozers, two pit bulls. 164 00:11:23,570 --> 00:11:25,070 I don't respect you. 165 00:11:25,890 --> 00:11:27,210 They both believe it. 166 00:11:29,070 --> 00:11:30,070 But you will. 167 00:11:30,550 --> 00:11:31,810 So I believe it. 168 00:11:34,190 --> 00:11:39,970 It's funny because it started back in 2015. And we were just completely 169 00:11:39,970 --> 00:11:45,450 different competitors at that point. I was still so young. I was still so fresh 170 00:11:45,450 --> 00:11:46,450 on the scene. 171 00:11:47,570 --> 00:11:50,750 Trying to take, earn respect. 172 00:11:52,890 --> 00:11:57,310 Roman Reigns is great. Is he great enough to beat Brock Lesnar? 173 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:02,000 And if I couldn't get it from Brock that day, I knew I wasn't ever going to be 174 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,100 able to get it from our audience. 175 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,620 We're always looking for a storied rivalry. 176 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,040 Hogan versus Macho. 177 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:15,800 Austin versus Rock. 178 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:20,660 Roman Reigns versus Brock Lesnar. 179 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:22,640 Here we go. 180 00:12:22,940 --> 00:12:27,300 Brock Lesnar.

It's still propped up from the bulldozer. 544 00:40:59,570 --> 00:41:01,730 And Brock does something that I've never seen. 545 00:41:02,730 --> 00:41:09,130 He climbs to the top of this broken ring, up where the bucket of the tractor 546 00:41:09,310 --> 00:41:11,850 and he thanks the fans. 547 00:41:12,150 --> 00:41:16,490 Looks on the cowboy hat and lets them know that, yeah, this was for you. 548 00:41:22,090 --> 00:41:26,890 I think that that was Brock's way of saying this chapter may be closed for 549 00:41:26,890 --> 00:41:30,090 now, and see you on down the road. 550 00:41:30,490 --> 00:41:35,690 I don't think that there was anybody really except for Brock Lesnar to make 551 00:41:35,690 --> 00:41:37,990 Roman Reigns the star that he is. 552 00:41:38,190 --> 00:41:42,510 I can't think of anybody else really that could have been in that spot to get 553 00:41:42,510 --> 00:41:45,730 Roman Reigns to catapult him to this superstardom. 554 00:41:47,490 --> 00:41:49,790 When this all first started with Roman, 555 00:41:50,540 --> 00:41:51,860 He was a young man. 556 00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:57,660 You just know when somebody has it, and I think he's a special talent. 557 00:41:58,260 --> 00:42:01,380 I'm really proud of Roman for the work that he's put in. 558 00:42:01,720 --> 00:42:06,340 Obviously, the struggles that he's had personally with his health, it's really 559 00:42:06,340 --> 00:42:08,940 testament to his passion for this business. 560 00:42:09,460 --> 00:42:16,000 I think it's really cool to see somebody become great looking at how Brock 561 00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:19,760 stepped up and figured this business out. 562 00:42:20,350 --> 00:42:21,430 And so does Roman. 563 00:42:21,890 --> 00:42:23,430 They both look dangerous. 564 00:42:23,690 --> 00:42:26,630 I love watching. If one of these guys are going to wrestle, I'll make sure I 565 00:42:26,630 --> 00:42:27,630 watch that match. 566 00:42:28,090 --> 00:42:32,270 No one will ever do what Brock has done. And then you have someone like me who 567 00:42:32,270 --> 00:42:36,930 is just so focused and locked in on this world, the WWE world, pro wrestling, 568 00:42:37,030 --> 00:42:38,030 sports entertainment. 569 00:42:38,850 --> 00:42:44,730 Two elite level, once in a lifetime, once in a generation performers that 570 00:42:44,730 --> 00:42:49,310 completely different backgrounds and upbringings and different journeys. 571 00:42:50,060 --> 00:42:54,560 But we are able to get to the same peak of the same mountain, you know, just 572 00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:55,560 from different sides. 573 00:42:57,220 --> 00:42:58,220 That's our legacy.
