Top 10 current WWE Superstars and their story behind getting into pro-wrestling

#1 Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar is a professional wrestler by accident

The Beast Incarnate was never meant to be a professional wrestler. He’s very good at it, don’t get me wrong, but his dreams always lay elsewhere. Even though he was a dominant amateur wrestler with an enviable record, he was never actually interested in the sport of kings.

But, when the WWE made a very lucrative offer, he took the opportunity and signed a developmental contract. Surprisingly enough, he was college roommates with Shelton Benjamin with whom he trained in WWE developmental as well.

Eventually, he forsook professional wrestling to try his hand at playing in the NFL and fighting in the UFC before making his return for good.
