Brock Lesnar is a living legend in the pro wrestling world. Not only did he enjoy success in pro wrestling, but he also made a name for himself in the UFC. Today, he has a massive fandom and is one of the biggest superstars in WWE. But this road to superstardom or success had some hurdles.

Brock Lesnar has red-green colorblindness. Though it might be a surprise for many, it is indeed true. But this colorblindness played a crucial role in his exit from the Army National Guard.

The Beast Incarnate joined the Army National Guard at 17. Lesnar wanted to battle on the front lines and deal with explosives.
