#8 The time Brock spent some quality time with a puppy
Brock Lesnar had just announced his return to the UFC ahead of UFC 200 and had dropped by ESPN for an interview when we got to see the softer side of Lesnar as a video of him playing with a puppy backstage went viral.
#7 Threatening to quit WWE if he wasn’t called up to the main roster
We move on to Brock Lesnar during his time in developmental in OVW. About a year into his time in developmental, Brock decided that he was good enough to be called up to the main roster. He went as far as quitting OVW and threatened to go home to Minnesota if WWE didn’t call him up to main.
In an interview many years later, Gerald Briscoe spoke about a conversation he had with Brock at the time:
“One day I get a call, and it’s Brock. He’s really frustrated. He wanted to leave. Brock said, ‘I’ve got other options. It wasn’t an ultimatum or anything, it was just him giving me his lay of the land and telling me what’s going on. He said, ‘I want to be out of here in two months. We’re ready for the main roster.’”
Frustrated, Brock then quit OVW and threatened to move back home to Minnesota. Amazingly, WWE gave into the young Lesnar’s demands and called him up. Instead of repercussions, Brock was WWE Champion within a year of his main roster debut.
