Brock Lesnar and his advocate Paul Heyman raise their hands at Extreme Rules after Brock's well deserved victory over Seth Rollins.

#6. Brock Lesnar is a blue collar hero.

Brock Lesnar is an avid outdoorsman, like many of his fans.

Brock Lesnar never went to prestigious prep schools when he was a lad. He also wasn't part of an illustrious athletic dynasty, like the Harts or the Ortons.

Brock Lesnar had to fight for every scrap he's ever earned. Coming from blue collar roots, he remains grounded even with wild success and fame and fortune that has come with it.

Lesnar doesn't want to paint the town red with some Hollywood starlet. He'd rather be at home cozy with his wife, Sable, drinking a beer and hanging at his ranch.

Many pro wrestling fans likewise come from blue collar backgrounds. Seeing the equivalent of a 'local boy doing good' is a balm to their souls. Brock's blue collar roots and simple pursuit of happiness endears him to fans all around the world, even those who don't regularly follow pro wrestling.
