6 WWE Superstar tattoos with a backstory

#3 Brock Lesnar’s drunken sword fight

Lesnar (with Paul Heyman) is the current Universal Champion

We’ve all heard the story: a guy quits his job, his life spirals out of control, this dude gets wasted, and wakes up with a tattoo he doesn’t remember getting.

It doesn’t matter how big or bad you are, this can happen to anyone - man or woman, and even a Beast.

To Lesnar’s credit, he at least remembers getting the huge sword on his front inked, though has admitted he was very drunk at the time.

The Beast Incarnate has also stated that the sword itself is a metaphor of the pressure he felt at the time, as WWE were blocking his attempts to wrestle for New Japan, pressure that didn’t mix well with Lesnar’s substance abuse problems.

Eventually joining New Japan, Lesnar would clean himself up before joining UFC, whom he left to return to the WWE in 2012, now sporting his iconic sword, which no-doubt strikes fear into his opponents.
