Brock Lesnar has almost always portrayed a villainous persona onscreen. He constantly bad-mouths his opponents and is never shy of downplaying their fighting credentials. Be it in the squared circle or the octagon he has always been the bad guy who destroys his opponents. This is directly in contrast to his humble beginnings which involved growing up on a farm and doing regular chores. A meteoric rise from the lowest of lows to the highest of highs may sometimes affect even the best. Lesnar’s unprecedented success helped prove his mettle to the whole world. However, he grew farther and farther apart from his origins. Sometimes the arrival of someone special can be the turning point in one’s life. For Lesnar, it was his marriage with the former WWE superstar Rena aka Sable in 2006.

He made a name for himself by winning the NCAA Division I Heavyweight Championship at the University level. The Beast, then, sent shockwaves across the globe with his outrageous displays in the wrestling juggernaut known as WWE. Established wrestlers and legends such as Hulk Hogan and The Rock proved to be mere stepping stones for the future superstar.
