Product Description
Product Description
Brock Lesnar has been, and is one of the most popular - and polarizing - figures in sports and sports entertainment. Whether fans love him or hate him, they never miss an opportunity to watch Brock when he squares off with an opponent. He is a celebrity of the first order, but disdains fame, avoids the media, and remains intensely private. Now, for the first time, Brock tells his incredible story in his own words. Brock relives his long journey to become the best college wrestler in the country, his meteoric rise in World Wrestling Entertainment, and what lead him to walk away from fame and fortune when he was at the top. He talks openly about the accident that derailed his plans to play in the NFL, his professional wrestling comeback in Japan, and his transformation and rebirth as a Mixed Martial Arts fighter. Fans will get an insider's look at Brock's career in the UFC - the training, the competition and what it takes to be, and to remain a champion. Brock will also talk about the illness that nearly killed him, his will to survive, and what he really values and aspires to be. Powerful and real, this remarkable memoir is the story of Brock's determination and domination, and the making of a true champion.

Format:Hardcover
This is a decent book and worth a read but overpriced for how little there is on the book. I had expected it would be short and lack any details however. One thing I will say though, Brock the curt henning chapter... 24 lines is not a chapter, it wasn't even an actual full page mate.
Buy this book for a decent read to kill an hour or two. Dont buy this book if you want an in depth look into Brock's life, he doesn't even remember half of his short wrestling career...

I was really looking forward Brock's book. I couple of days before it came out I saw the reviews, on how short or bad the book is. The book is shorter but does get to the point. The main thing about Brock is that he pretty much says what is on his mind in any interview he does. So if you are looking for new material about Brock you are not really going to find it in the book because he has already said it on an interview or on th internet. For WWE fans this book might be very disappointing because Brock says himself he does not really remember all the stuff that went on in whilst on the road for his WWE career. He skims to the highlights of his title wins, being the youngest world champion, not only in age but in wrestling maturity. Remember he was only in the wrestling business from 3 year. 6 months were spent in development territory. Then 2 and a half years in the media spotlight. A lot things Brock is not allowed to print due to the case with the WWE. Probably because they do not want young wrestlers to know how much they spent on Brock, also his settlement with the WWE proving their non-compete should be illegal. Having said that Brock pulls no punches with what he thinks about the wrestling business and Vince himself. He speaks about his attempted football career and finally his UFC career. The difference Brock saw the WWE and even football as a way of making money rather than a passionate career. He does not seem to feel the same way about the UFC or armature wrestling so the book is heavier on these details. Brock still being a very private person does not talk much about his family life aside from the values installed in him to the support he received from them. One major thing that does evident in this book is Brock may be loud, crude, or even egotistical, but he does not blame anyone for his faults or mistakes. It can be summed up in his last statement when he speaks about the Cain fight. "Cain was the better fighter on that day". Just do not expect him to say the same thing about Frank Mir.

Format:Kindle Edition
Got the Kindle version, and as per previous reviewer, I breezed through it in a couple of hours - his whole career is there (i.e. he doesn't skip any sections of it) - but it's skimmed over and really offers no insight into anything of note. Very short. Meh.

Short is an understatement

Brock Lesnar.
You may know him as "The Next Big Thing" in WWE or "The Baddest Man On The Planet" in UFC, but Brock Lesnar is a very quiet person. Read more

Like Brock's various careers so far - shockingly short
