Brock Lesnar spoke at length about the late, great Antonio Inoki.
At WrestleMania 39, Brock Lesnar defeated Omos in a spectacle of a match. However, there has now been more information revealed about how Brock conducted himself backstage at the event.
According to a report by Tokyo Sports, a person who was close to Inoki was seen backstage at WrestleMania 39, and Lesnar spoke at length with this person about the legendary combat sport star.
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.”

Of course with Brock Lesnar being a crossover star similarly to Inoki, he would naturally have a great respect for the late Japanese legend.
Lesnar is currently involved in a few with Cody Rhodes and defeated “The American Nightmare” at WWE Night Of Champions just a few weeks ago.
