Vince McMahon Wanted To Give Brock Lesnar A Stuttering Gimmick In WWE

Brock Lesnar is one of the most dominant stars in WWE history, with Lesnar booked to just show up and suplex someone a hundred times before heading home.

However, it seems as though former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon initially had other ideas for Brock, with former WWE and TNA star Matt Morgan revealing during a conversation with Jonathan Coachman that McMahon wanted Lesnar to stutter, a gimmick that eventually fell to Morgan:

“He [Vince McMahon] goes, ‘Could you imagine? You, six feet, whatever you are, six ten, six eleven, you’ve all these physical, body perfections, and you have that Achilles’ heel to you that nobody sees coming. And you start to stutter.’ And I’m like, ‘With respect sir, I graduated top of my class in college with a public speaking degree. Are you sure?’” began Morgan.

Morgan continued: “Vince trying to sell the stuttering character, he actually wanted to put this on Brock Lesnar as God is my witness. He wanted to find somebody that’s jacked and has all these great physical attributes. That looks like a warrior as he put it. But that when they opened their mouth there was this verbal imperfection. Coach we could have had ‘The next Big Stutterer.’”

Surprisingly, a wrestling character having a stutter has been done on several occasions, with WWE Hall of Famer Bubba Ray Dudley originally having a stammer during his early run as ‘Buh Buh’ Ray in ECW.
