Within 5 months of his debut, he had defeated the likes of Hulk Hogan and Rob Van Dam. There were talks of putting him over against Stone Cold, which Austin refused due to creative issues. But he went on to become the top guy and then feuded against top stars like The Undertaker, Goldberg, and Kurt Angle.

Later, Lesnar proved his mettle as the biggest star in combat sports when he became the UFC Heavyweight Champion. Despite his enormous size and stature as a legitimate fighter, Lesnar remains a humble man who leads a simple life.
