We all know about the accident that cost Brock Lesnar his NFL career. But hearing it from the man himself gives us a better picture. In his biography, which is filled with gems, he wrote about his early life, his amateur wrestling career, and WWE. As well as the downhill battle he went against the WWE. And finally, his arrival in the octagon.

Unfortunately, he published the book in 2012, the same year he joined WWE again. But the details of that signing are not in the book. But regardless, this still gives us some insights into the mind of the Beast. And it is a very rare thing for Brock Lesnar to speak about his personal life, and this book is about his emotions and feelings through an illustrious career.

Brock Lesnar narrates the 19th April accident

On the fateful night of April 19, Lesnar writes about the break he was enjoying. Sitting in the living room with his daughter, Mya. Being surrounded by people he trusted, like his brother and his college roommate. And then he mentions the bike that he sent for customization. Not only was The Beast Incarnate happy about it, but he also took it on a drive.

While he understood the bike was a smooth drive and could take him to the moon, he roamed around on the street until the turn. Now, as he explains it, he saw a car passing down the road, and he was about to make the turn, but suddenly the van beside the car took the turn as well. This left him no choice but to turn, and he hit the brakes.

A small excerpt from the book reads, “They told me at the hospital I didn’t have any internal bleeding, but they ran down the list of injuries I did have. Broken jaw. Broken left hand. Bruised pelvis. Pulled my groin so severely, it’s painful for me to even list it here six years later. I had just gone through six or seven weeks at Athlete’s Performance to get into top physical condition.”

“I was 298 pounds, doing high-impact weight training, I pissed it all away in about three seconds. The first call I made was to Luke, and then to my football agent. The only thing that held me together through that crash was the fact my body was rigid as hell. That weight training I had done with Luke saved my life.” You can buy the book here.

The aftermath of the terrible accident

But the bike didn’t stop, and he went in the van head first. The crash left his jaw, hand, pelvis, and groin severely injured. Spending some time in the hospital, he thanked his body’s tremendous shape. And as we know, nothing could stop the beast. In the end, Lesnar came out of this in great shape. Joining the UFC in a few years and then coming back to the WWE.
