It's a conspiracy that his client has been subjected to since day one. Lesnar got into a fight with the world's strongest man and afterwards, he was attacked by the Big Show. Show gave the misleading impression that he could be dominant over Lesnar. He says that Big Show is over seven feet tall and over 400 pounds, but at Royal Rumble, Lesnar will conquer him. Heyman says that he has been through many wars, but all with Lesnar by his side. He will fear no evil, because Lesnar walks with him.
