On Monday’s Raw, Brock Lesnar attacked Shawn Michaels and broke his arm using the Kimura Lock. (FULL STORY) Earlier today, WWE.com called the WWE Hall of Famer to find out how he’s doing, and what he thinks about his best friend stepping into the ring against Brock Lesnar this Sunday at SummerSlam.
How is HBK's recovery going?
"I'm not happy about what Borck Lesnar did to me, but life goes on. I have kids and a family, and things that have to get done. Thankfully, I’m left-handed and ambidextrous so I’m not slowed very much. The physical work around the ranch is going to take a back seat for a while."
How can Triple H beat Brock?
When asked what Triple H needs to do to overcome Lesnar, HBK offered a strategic approach for his friend.
"Brock is a whole different kind of cat. He’s not the same guy he was 10 years ago. The problem is getting caught in the jaws of the alligator. Eventually, you have to tie up with him," he said.
"Once he gets ahold of you — I don’t care if it’s an arm, leg, ankle or wrist — he now has an ability that I don’t think he had before. He might have had it, but I don’t think he had the wisdom, knowledge and experience at that time to utilize it in the respect that he does now. And that makes him a ton more dangerous. That is going to be something Hunter hasn’t faced before."
As for what it’s going to take to win at SummerSlam, HBK was brutally honest.
"I think that Hunter has the tools to defeat Brock, but it’s going to be tough. If he attacks him in the right respect, and avoids getting caught in the jaws of the alligator, he has a chance."
"But, if I had the answer to beating him, I wouldn’t be walking around with a broken arm," he said.
