“He Likes to Be at Home” – Kurt Angle Reveals Why Brock Lesnar Quit Wrestling
Follow Us
Kurt Angle revealed why Brock Lesnar quit wrestling when he conducted the first episode of his ‘The Kurt Angle Show’ podcast alongside Conrad Thompson.
According to the WWE Legend, Brock Lesnar did not like traveling. Therefore, he did not want to be a part of the wrestling industry any longer since it required him to be on the road quite a lot.
“He didn’t want to be on the road all the time. I mean, that’s the reason why he stopped wrestling. That’s why he tried out for pro football. The NFL, because he wanted to be in a city where he could train and compete and not leave except for eight weeks a year where he’d have to travel to another town to have a football game every Sunday. So, it was less travel and more at home. That’s what Brock likes. He likes to be at home.”

In fact, Angle revealed Lesnar disliked traveling so much that he bought a private plane and hired a pilot.
“Well, he hated travel so much he bought a private plane so that he wouldn’t have to go to airports. So, you know, he hired a pilot, and his pilot lived in his basement. He set himself up really good, and you know, he didn’t like to travel.” h/t SK Wrestling
The fact that he quit wrestling even when he was the highest paid pro-wrestler is all the evidence Kurt Angle’s claim needs.
