Story behind Brock's Ugly Sword Tattoo

"Brock Lesnar was once known as ‘The Next Big Thing,’ but the next thing Lesnar always wanted to do while on the road full time with the WWE was drink and take pills. Lesnar admitted that life on the road was very difficult for him. He usually wanted to be alone and used pills and booze to keep him company. Brock said it wasn’t uncommon for him to drink at least a bottle of vodka and swallow a handful of Vicodin a day.

It had become all he would think about before and after his matches. Lesnar would often black out and not remember what he did that night. Realizing he had a problem, Lesnar decided to walk away from WWE and try his hand at something else. He got the tattoo of the sword on his chest, as a way to remind him of his dark days constantly on the road with WWE. Lesnar said “I felt like life was holding a sword right up against my throat, so I went under the ink gun because I never wanted to forget exactly how I felt at that time.”"

Well god damn. I never knew that.

Thought it would be interesting.

All tats are ugly (exception Krzysztof Jotko).

 

[aerozeppelin]

nope. not interesting.

 

[Mortal Wombat]

Always thought it was a syringe

Still hoping we get to see Jones vs Brock. This is the fight the fans want

 

[Fraz]

Brock only roided to heal from old wrestling injuries

 

[yekmurat]

Its not a sword look closely

That reasoning makes no sense. So if he wants a drink he tears his shirt off and looks in a mirror?
He'd have been better off getting 'DON'T DRINK A BOTTLE OF VODKA' tattooed on each hand.

 

[Harlekin]

That's not a sword. It's a retarded butter knife

 

[L.T.]

I'd make fun of the one bottle thing unless it was a half gallon but combining with pills is no joke. Andre the giant drank 119 beers at one time anyone who knows me knows 8 years ago I could have done that weighing 165 lbs any day of the week. Not with pills though. That's when bad things will happen. Shit even Evan Tanner said he drank over 70 beers a day. I would drink so much beer my feet and hands became swollen like the Michelin man and I'd lose my ability to piss at all there was so much fluid in my system. So I switched to whiskey.
I had many seizures as a young buck...

Regrettably bad tattoo =/= blacking out. Pick one.

It doesn't change the fact that Brock could effortlessly rag doll the average man and destroy them. Brock is a freak and does things that a 295lb man should not be able to do

His book is good. He talks about it there. You should check it out.

Still doesn't change the fact that it is poorly done and looks like a penis. I don't get why people that have money go for cheap and awful tattoos.

Pussy. Beer is for soyboys and wimmins

 

[Blade Runner Rock]

Reason?
Brock is no deep thinker and he's a meathead jock.
Went into a tattoo shop saw a picture of the sword on the wall. Thought it would make him look cool, hip, dangerous, tough, etc., etc.
Done.

I think it's interesting TS, thanks for sharing.
I thought the tattoo was a penis though, maybe it's 'Andre the Giants' and it's to remind him of what could (did) happen one time if (when) he blacked out.

the tattoo reminds him of the old WWE days,he hated it so much and he said if he continued like that he may die.
he was never a pro wrestling fan before he joined WWE,it was just a way to make money after college and he was young for something like that.
now he only shows up there like twice every month.he is a part timer with a full time pay.
