“I Will Never Forget How Upset My Mom Was”: Brock Lesnar Made a Rare Revelation in Death Clutch

Brock Lesnar is one of the most brutal competitors in combat sports history. Over the years, he rose up the ranks in WWE and is currently among the highest-paid WWE Superstars. His aggressive and menacing approach makes him quite intimidating to witness. Additionally, he has been on top of everything he stepped in.

If you didn’t already know, The Beast Incarnation is not only one of the best professional wrestlers, but also a great UFC fighter and an NCAA champion. Lesnar also constantly strives for victory and strongly believes that his parents were one of the key contributors to his success and attitude.

In his autobiography, Death Clutch, ‘The Beast Incarnate’ recounts that although his parents were farmers, they always pushed him to wrestle starting at the age of 5. And while he had to shovel manure and milk cows just like everyone else, he never skipped a wrestling session.

Notably, Lesnar’s mother, Stephanie Lesnar, traveled everywhere with him when he had to attend wrestling matches. And his family’s response has always been the same whether he prevailed or failed in the wrestling competition. If he fails, they give him advice on how to do better the next time, and if he wins, they applaud him.

However, Lesnar recently talked about how once his mother got upset with him following a loss.

For what reason was Brock Lesnar’s mother upset with him?

Lesnar’s winning mentality dates back to his early years, and just like today, he entered the games with the sole aim of winning. His parents likewise had high expectations, so they expected no less. Consequently, when he lost in the quarter-final at National Junior College, his mother was really disappointed.

The Beast Incarnate stated, “I will never forget how upset my mom was when I lost in the quarter-finals of the National Junior College Wrestling Tournament.” 

“It was during my freshman year at Bismarck State College in North Dakota. She really wanted me to excel—to stand out. She wanted me not only to live up to my potential but to do even more.”

In addition, he said that his mother had always sensed that he had been endowed with special athletic talents. She was quite upset when he lost at the Bismarck State College. Since in her eyes there was no justification for him not to be the greatest, she was never going to allow him to believe that coming in second was acceptable.
