"I was flying to a different city every night, drinking more and more vodka and washing down more vicodins, all just to dull the pain." That's not the kind of quote WWE want getting out there. Lesnar started regularly drinking vodka and popping vicodins during WWE. Even after he left, with the stress of WWE's legal threats, he was still drinking heavily. "I had been popping pills for a while just to kill the pain of being on the road, of injuries that never heal, and I started drinking vodka. Lots of vodka. I can't even tell you how much for sure, but it seems like a bottle every one or two days, with a couple hundred pain pills each month to go with it." That's pretty extreme and is the negative pro wrestling stereotype that WWE try to run a million miles from. Now that Lesnar is back on the active roster, it is a quote that both he and WWE will want to forget.
