Brock Lesnar is a stranger to no pro wrestling fan. He is one of the most successful pro wrestlers of all time in WWE. From becoming the youngest WWE Champion to ending The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak, fans have seen Lesnar bagging some major records to his name.

But prior to signing for WWE, Lesnar had tried to serve in the military. Though his military career got cut short, he made an incredible achievement during his guard training. In his book, titled ‘Death Clutch’, the Beast Incarnate talked about this major feat. And many fans are not aware of this if you haven’t read his book.
