But the WWE superstar does have certain regrets when it comes to his siblings. In his 2011 autobiography, Death Clutch, Lesnar explained how his career development overshadowed those of his brothers and sisters.

Brock Lesnar shared his regrets

In one of the excerpts of the book, he wrote, “I was the third of four children, and I feel bad for my siblings because most of the time I was the center of attention. My two older brothers, Troy and Chad, were standout athletes in their own right but chose not to pursue sports as a career.” 

Over time, they became known as Brock’s brothers. My poor little sister, Brandy, was a very good athlete too, and she excelled at basketball, volleyball, track, and any other sport she decided to play. But no matter how well she did, she still had to live in the shadow of her big brother Brock.” further wrote the 6-time world champion.
