Since his return to the WWE in 2012, Brock Lesnar has become a huge household name in the business which is quite apparent from the crowd he has been drawing with his matches and appearances. The Beast Incarnate has been a dominant force who has wiped out every obstacle put in front of him.2014 was a massive year for Lesnar as he ended the legendary Streak of The Undertaker at Wrestlemania, conquered John Cena to win the WWE World Heavyweight title in a one-sided affair and proved that he is head and shoulders ahead of any superstar in the roster. His dominance would continue and as of June 2018, Lesnar has had over 400+ days in his reign as Universal Champion.
But that is the Lesnar we all have come to know in the company. A freak of an athlete, a human being who possesses extraordinary strength, Lesnar is also a man who is known as a shy guy who likes to live a low-profile life. But thanks to the internet, we have managed to come across some of the rare images ranging from Brock’s childhood days to his modern-day personal life. Take a look at these 12 pictures of Lesnar.
#1 Lesnar in his NCAA days
Brock Lesnar was a force of nature since his high school days and Minnesota wrestling coach J Robison described him as an anomaly and that he had seen nothing freakish like him before. His unique combination of speed, strength and skill allowed him to perform moves which no one in his weight class could execute and he was almost unbeatable.
Here, Lesnar is seen taking on Iowa's Wes Hand in the NCAA's 285-pound weight class championship in March 2000. Lesnar represented the University of Minnesota and won the match claiming the national title to finish his college career with a 106-5 record.
#2 Biker Boy Lesnar
A different look of The Beast as he is seen sitting on a motorbike. Not much information is available regarding Lesnar’s affiliation towards hot wheels.
#3 With Piers Morgan
Now, who doesn’t know Piers Morgan? For those who don’t, to sum it up, he is a celebrity figure from the media world who has worked for several British tabloids including The Sun, and Daily Mirror.
He was also the host of Piers Morgan Live on CNN which was cancelled later and has judged talent shows like America’s Got Talent and Britain's Got Talent.
This pic was taken at SummerSlam 2012 backstage after which Morgan also called out Lesnar on Twitter(jokingly of course).
#4 In High school
Brock Lesnar always wanted to gain brute strength from his childhood. Growing up watching guys like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lesnar would pick up anything heavy he would see in his sight, so much so that he had two hernia surgeries performed on him by the time he was five years old.
Abnormal and insanely stronger than his peers, Lesnar was a great wrestler since his school days. This image dates back to his high school days where he was unbeaten 33-0.
#5 Pre season with Minnesota Vikings
Before taking up professional wrestling as a full-time career, Lesnar took a halt and turned to American Football in order to see if he could make a living out of it. His agility, speed and strength were put to use by the Minnesota Vikings who recruited him during their training camp.
Lesnar gave a tryout but was cut out at some point. Here, Lesnar is signing autographs for his fans during training.
#6 With Brian Kendrick and Tajiri
Brock Lesnar, as mentioned earlier, maintains a low profile outside the WWE and so it’s very hard to know the preferences, the likes and dislikes of the man. And it is certainly difficult to gain information about the people he hangs out with backstage.
Nonetheless, this picture at least reveals that Brian Kendrick and Tajiri were two of his good friends backstage as he is seen posing with them in this picture. This was taken supposedly back in 2003 when Brock was part of the Smackdown roster and they were touring on the road.
#7 Lesnar the Destroyer
If you haven’t seen this one, it was taken after Brock Lesnar recovered from digestive intestinal disease surgery and was doing a comeback video for Fusion© ammunition which involves his older brother Chad, a discussion about how you can learn to respect various types of ammo by testing them scientifically on rodents in distant holes, and a bag of beef jerky.
#8 Mary Kiffmeyer and Brock Lesnar
Brock Lesnar makes former Minnesota Secretary of State Mary Kiffmeyer laugh at an August 2003 press conference. Lesnar told reporters that he was on the cover of the Minnesota legislative manual for students because the then 56-year-old "Secretary of State likes big men." What a jokester. We wish we could hear some of them during the promos in the WWE.
#9 Lesnar hunting in Canada
Back in 2010, when Brock Lesnar was in the UFC, charges were brought up against him for hunting animals in Alberta, Canada. He was accused by fish and wildlife officials of shooting a mule deer buck but only packing the trophy head out.
A lawyer for the mixed martial arts star appeared in a Medicine Hat court and pleaded guilty on his client's behalf to improper tagging of an animal during a hunting trip in November 2010. Lesnar was fined $1,725 and given a six-month hunting suspension.
Two other charges of leaving meat to rot and illegal possession of wildlife were dropped.
#10 Lesnar and Shelton Benjamin
It is no secret that Brock Lesnar and Shelton Benjamin are best friends since they were fellow mates at the University of Minnesota and also were roommates while training at WWE’s former developmental territory, Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW).
The duo even began tagging together, forming a team known then as The Minnesota Stretching Crew. Although unconfirmed, we can’t help but think that Lesnar and “The Gold Standard” received some epic care packages from Momma Benjamin. WWE’s legendary ringside commentator Jim Ross reported in his podcast show that Lesnar told WWE he wouldn't sign a deal until the company offered Shelton Benjamin, his roommate at the time, a deal.
#11 Hong-Man Choi and Brock Lesnar
Lesnar poses with South Korean fighter Hong-Man Choi at a 2007 press conference announcing their bout at the L.A. Coliseum. Choi ended up getting replaced by fellow South Korean Min Soo Kim prior to the bout. It wasn’t a problem for Lesnar: He submitted Kim due to strikes in just over a minute.
#12 Brock Lesnar and Nicole McClain
Brock Lesnar and Sable have established themselves as a power couple in the world of pro-wrestling. But before Sable, Lesnar dated fitness model and deer hunter Diva, Nicole McClain.
The two were engaged and the couple gave birth to a daughter, Mya Lynn, on April 10, 2002. They separated sometime around in 2003.
