Brock Lesnar Threatened To Quit WWE After Pregnancy

Brock Lesnar was ready to leave WWE in 2001! Before making a name for himself on the WWE main roster in 2002, Brock Lesnar worked WWE’s developmental territory Ohio Valley Wrestling. He competed in matches as part of OVW from October 2000 to October 2001 before making his main roster debut in 2002. WWE recently responded to Brock Lesnar AEW debut rumors.

 


 

Cornette, who worked as a booker and writer for OVW from 1999 to 2005 talked about Lesnar’s stint in OVW on Jim Cornette’s Drive Thru. He revealed that Lesnar wanted to leave OVW so that he could return to Minnesota to be with his girlfriend.

“He just wanted to get out of Louisville [OVW’s headquarters]. He didn’t like training, he didn’t like… Brock doesn’t like anything. He doesn’t like associating with humans, which believe me that’s highly overrated, but I don’t know a lot of people who would associate with Brock.

“He wanted to get out of Louisville, he didn’t want to train, he just wanted to collect his check at home in Minnesota and work out with Brad Rheingans [Olympic wrestler]. So they sent him home for about six months and then they brought him up to the main roster.”

Brock Lesnar went on to have a tremendous career in WWE, spanning multiple title reigns and becoming a bonafide beast in the process. Brock’s rival Goldberg surprised AEW fans with hiring news.
