The Hardy Boyz, Shawn Stasiak or Rob Van Dam were really some of the first rivals of Brock Lesnar in the WWE. But perhaps it could also be considered like this to Hulk Hogan since with him he had his second fight in Smackdown. On August 8, 2002, both collided in the blue brand in a hand in hand where Lesnar became a championship to the WWE championship, which would win The Rock in Summerslam.

“The Hulkster” was recently interviewed in Forbes and gave curious details about His relationship at the beginning with “The Beast Incarnate”:
«I remember when Brock Lesnar arrived for the first time at WWE. I had to face it first, and believe me, it was no walk. I fought against him about 10 or 12 times (he would be talking about fighting of those who exist records).
«I remember being in Madison Square Garden, And the only way I got a little relaxed with me was telling him: 'Okay, Broccoli.' He called him broccoli instead of Brock Lesnar. He said: 'If you keep doing these things, you will end here alone.' So, finally, I got it simply to be carried away, which was what we did at that time.
«I saw how his personality began to develop. I saw him enter the ring like a monster, throw himself, grab a leg, knock down the guy and master him as a government mule. And at the same time, he could become this crazy character, entertainment overflowing. What we call a good 'worker' in the wrestling.
«When I first faced it, it wasn't. It was like a cargo train passing you over.»
