12 Things You Didn't Know About WWE Champion Brock Lesnar

Brock's rise to the top has not been without controversy.

By Lewis Howse /

Brock Lesnar is one of the most physically gifted athletes of all time. A mountain of a man with unmatched grace and agility, Lesnar was destined to become a success in whatever he tried his hand at. His success is well-documented, having won major accolades in amateur wrestling, WWE and UFC. At a young age, Lesnar was already a huge success and now, as current WWE Champion, he has the best contract in wrestling and is still earning big money for working a limited schedule. Yes, Lesnar's box-office appeal is huge and, although WWE is currently cannibalising its own PPV business with the WWE Network, a Brock Lesnar match still draws huge interest and gets people talking and watching. People want to see Lesnar, whether he's wrestling, fighting or even hunting. He is a fascinating person and an extremely talented performer. Lesnar is also a very private man who lives in the woods and rarely makes appearances in public. It should come as no surprise then that there are many things about Lesnar that have been hushed-up or that the public doesn't know about (or have forgotten about) over the years. Given how much he values his privacy, odds are that there are a lot more things about Brock Lesnar that we don't know.
