Funniest thing is when he takes credit for “discovering” play fighters like The Rock or Draw Lesnar :mjlol:

He and Gerald Brisco heavily recruited Lesnar out of college. Funny story from JR though (a little off topic) about the first time Vince McMahon saw Lesnar:

On recalling the first time Vince McMahon met Brock Lesnar:
"It was the first time Vince McMahon physically laid eyes on Brock Lesnar. You're not going to hear that in a lot of places. Brock came to the event. We were recruiting him. Jerry Brisco was recruiting him heavily. He was on him. He was our number one target and we got him. We got our guy. And he came to the show because, Brock, I don't think he had been to a pro wrestling event in his life. He was not a fan. It didn't mean he hated it. He just was occupied with working on the farm, playing football, and wrestling at a high, high level. So I remember that. I remember Vince walking out of his office and down [the hall] and I said, 'Brock Lesnar is here' and I had to refresh his memory about who that was. No face, no name - Vince didn't know. And so, I said, 'he's standing out here' and when Vince walked by, he gave him a little wave. He saw, 'wait a minute, is that what I think it is? Is that 6'3", 280 [lbs.]? Is that blonde hair? Looks like an angry Viking or a heifer bull.' So Vince made a little detour, shook Brock's hand, the rest, as they say, is history."

No, Ross. The rest isnt history. Lesnar has said over and over again that he would only sign if they signed Shelton with him.

Ross always put over Shelton...he's marked out for him big time. When Shelton countered Lashley in that 07 match on Raw, Ross almost had a heart attack.

But according to JR, he never had the “it” factor :mjpls: but had all the “genetic gifts” :mjpls:
