8 Incredible real life stories about Brock Lesnar

#6 He suplexed a player in the NFL

Lesnar had a brief stint in the NFL

Brock Lesnar was briefly a part of the NFL as a part of the Minnesota Vikings roster. During one of the Vikings’ preseason games against the Kansas City Chiefs, one of the Chief’s had some choice words for one of Brock Lesnar’s teammates.

#5 Brock’s childhood nickname

Brock Lesnar's nickname as a kid was a lot less intimidating

Although Brock Lesnar is now called “The Beast Incarnate” his childhood nickname wasn’t quite so awe-inspiring.

In the 2003 DVD, Brock Lesnar: Here Comes The Pain, WWE interviewed Brock’s childhood friend Justin Gaikowski. While speaking about his childhood friend, Gaikowski revealed what Brock’s nickname was:

“’I used to call him ‘Broccoli’. When you’re young, nobody likes to eat broccoli. I’d be like, ‘Hey, Broccoli! You’ve got bad taste!’”

Thankfully, this never came to light during his feud with John Cena, because if it had, the WWE Universe would have never heard the end of it as the 'Leader of the Cenation' made it his business to point it out to the Beast Incarnate.
