During the most recent episode of the Nuclear Heat podcast, former WWE, WCW, and TNA booker Vince Russo shared his thoughts on how he would book the Brock Lesnar vs. Undertaker feud. Below are some highlights and a video of the podcast.
Russo on how he would book Lesnar vs. Undertaker: “Obviously, the story of the match should be that Brock has more stamina than Taker. He’s a lot younger than Taker. Taker’s never going to quit. There is going to be no quitting in Taker. He’s going to keep trying to come back and back and back and Lesnar puts him over by not believing that I can’t put this guy away till finally Brock beats him. Boom! Clean! 1-2-3! Decisive!”
Russo on why Lesnar has to beat Undertaker decisively: “You’ve got this beast in the prime of his life in the ring against a man into his 50s. I think Brock has to have a decisive win over Taker! I mean, I just do! I mean, almost to the point of Taker saying after the match, ‘that was the last match. I can’t do this again. Brock Lesnar just ended it!’ I mean, put Brock over now!”
