#4. Brock Lesnar almost made the Minnesota Vikings (NFL) roster
Trending
Brock Lesnar has always challenged himself athletically and has left no stone unturned. At the height of his popularity in 2004, he left WWE to pursue a career in NFL.
It seems ludicrous that one of the most iconic faces of WWE would want to leave the sport for a completely different career. The reason behind this was that he didn't enjoy the rigorous travel schedule anymore and wanted to make a change before it was too late. The Minnesota Vikings in the NFL offered him that opportunity. He attended a training camp and performed very well at the combine.

Although he stuck around for the entire training camp, he ended up being one of the Vikings' final cuts. If he had made it to the NFL, it could've changed the trajectory of his WWE career. It's also possible that he might not have pursued an MMA career had the Vikings signed him.
#3. Brock Lesnar is a former NCAA Div 1 National wrestling champion
Lesnar's decorated collegiate wrestling background helped put him in the upper echelon of national wrestlers. While representing the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers, he won the 2000 NCAA Div 1 National Wrestling Championship. His athleticism helped him stand out as he could execute impressive moves for a man his size.
Despite winning the National Wrestling Championship in 2000, he did go through his fair share of adversity. 'The Beast' was the runner-up in 1999 after losing to future three-time Super Bowl champion Stephen Neal. It wasn't a loss he should be ashamed of, as Neal was the defending champion.
Aside from the loss in the 1999 finals, 'The Beast' still had an outstanding collegiate wrestling career. He had an overall record of 106-5 and was a two-time NCAA All-American.
