During Vince McMahon’s time as the chairman of WWE, top stars would have thought twice before arguing with him. However, a WWE legend did not even hesitate before stealing steaks from Vince McMahon’s office. And this WWE legend did such a thing not for himself but for Brock Lesnar.
Almost every individual has nothing but respect for Lesnar. But who do you think dared to steal steaks from Mr. McMahon’s office and hand it over to Brock Lesnar? Well, it is none other than Lesnar’s current on-screen rival and his former advocate, Paul Heyman. And Brock Lesnar himself talked about Heyman’s daring actions in his book, Death Clutch.
In his book, Lesnar noted, “Paul pulled me aside and brought me two steaks from Vince’s office. He always stole a couple of Vince’s afternoon steaks and brought them to me. I never asked if Vince knew. I was just happy to get the prime cut.”

This incident took place after Stone Cold Steve Austin walked out prior to his match against Lesnar. However, Heyman did not do it just once. He did it many times.
Now, no one knows if Vince McMahon learned about this stealing. Even if he did, he might not have mind giving a few steaks to The Next Big Thing in the early 2000s. Also, not to forget, Mr. McMahon shares a good bond with Lesnar. So there might be a possibility that Mr. McMahon knew about all these, but said nothing to keep Brock Lesnar happy.
Did Paul Heyman play a key role in the rise of Brock Lesnar in WWE?
Several fans believe Paul Heyman had a key role in Brock Lesnar’s success in WWE. But this takes nothing away from Lesnar.
