I’ve been the general manager of multiple brands. This is a completely different role for me. That’s the way I look at it and approach it, and it’s a completely different dynamic than I’ve ever had with any other talent.”## Heyman began mentoring Lesnar in 2002, and McMahon decided to make Heyman Lesnar's manager.
