Brock Lesnar’s Gesture Backstage at WrestleMania Deviated from His Typical Behavior

Brock Lesnar has established himself as one of the most formidable and dominant pro wrestlers in the history of the business. While many view him as an intimidating and heartless person, that isn’t the case as Lesnar made an uncharacteristic gesture at WrestleMania 39.

For those who do not know, Brock Lesnar competed in New Japan Pro Wrestling for two years. During his time in NJPW, Lesnar captured the IWGP Championship in his debut for the promotion, eventually losing the title to Kurt Angle.

NJPW was founded by Antonio Inoki, who sadly passed away last year. According to a report by Tokyo Sports, a person who was close to Inoki was seen backstage at WrestleMania 39.

Before his match at WrestleMania 39, Brock Lesnar went out of his way to speak to the person and even offered his condolences on the passing of the legendary Antonio Inoki, in what was certainly an uncharacteristic gesture.

The same is true for WWE (USA), the world’s largest professional wrestling organization. “The Beast” Brock Lesnar participated in the festival “WrestleMania 39” held at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California on April 1st and 2nd. In the tournament, he defeated the “giant” Omos, but it is said that something like this happened backstage before the match.”

“This year’s festival was attended by people who were close to Mr. Inoki. He was walking backstage when he was yelled at by Lesnar. When he approached his old acquaintance, Lesnar said, “It was really unfortunate,” and said words of condolence.”

“In addition, Lesnar asked the same person about Inoki’s battle with illness and his last moments. In the middle of the conversation, he was approached by another person involved, but he listened intently to Inoki’s final moments regardless of that.”

Brock Lesnar would go on to defeat Omos at WrestleMania 39 and is now engaged in a feud with Cody Rhodes, which will likely culminate at SummerSlam this year. Regardless, fans certainly appreciate the gesture Lesnar made and that’s all that matters.
