10 Unsuccessful athletes that took their talent to the WWE

Brock Lesnar after winning a match!

#2 Brock Lesnar

‘The Beast Incarnate' has been on a rampage over the past few years. From beating John Cena senseless, to breaking The Undertaker’s undefeated streak, Brock Lesnar has made it clear that he will leave his mark on the industry.

Lesnar is also a former UFC Heavyweight Champion, and made it look relatively easy when he made the jump to MMA. However, even before he started his wrestling career, Lesnar wanted to become a football player. But with WWE knocking on the door, Lesnar decided to join the company.

However, in 2004, Brock finally made up his mind to give football a shot. Lesnar joined the Minnesota Vikings, and played in a few preseason games, but it was obvious that Brock was out of his depth. When he got cut, Brock decided to take up mixed martial arts, and went on to pummel the likes of Frank Mir and Shane Carwin.
