Per SRS and Fightful:
>Vince McMahon called me, personally, a little bit after Dynamite started. And Jurassic World 2 was still pretty fresh, so dinosaurs were hot. And Vince offered me 12 million dollars to fight Lesnar at Mania, just that one match, and he was going to call it “Man vs Dino”
>I’d been in FCW for years and was told everything from
I couldn’t work to I couldn’t draw fans. And now they were offering me this huge payday for one match. So I asked what changed, and Vince put me on hold for a second and then another guy, a guy who’s not there any more, jumped on.
>This guy says that Lesnar needs a big opponent and Vince just saw King Kong fight a dinosaur, so he loves the ride. They’d repackage me as Dinosaurus Rex, I still remember that specific name, and I’d apparently eat a raw hamburger before the match.
>At this point I think it’s a rib, so I grab Jack and ask what I should do. And he tells me to ask for more money, see how high they’ll go. But when I ask for more this guy says “we’ll call you back” but they never did.
