Brock Lesnar says professional accomplishments mean ‘nothing’ to him
Even with all of the success he’s had in WWE, UFC, and amateur wrestling, professional accomplishments mean “nothing” to Brock Lesnar.
A new episode of Barstool Sports’ Spittin Chiclets podcast premiered today with Lesnar joining the show for an interview. He opened up about being a “hockey dad” now that his sons Duke and Turk are rising through the game in Canada. Even if they never end up playing professionally, Lesnar is happy that they’re committed to something and have something valuable that is occupying their time.
Lesnar said his kids are going to be his legacy, and everything he accomplishes in his own professional career ultimately means nothing to him.
“For me, none of my championships or none of my accolades, they all mean nothing. It means nothing to me,” Lesnar said. “My kids are my legacy. I mean, in today’s dark-ass world that we’re living in, if you can come out and have good kids — I take a lot of pride in that. When parents come to me and say, ‘Man, your boys are really respectful.’ That pumps my tires, you know?”
Lesnar’s daughter Mya has also made her mark in athletics as a champion shot putter when she attended Colorado State University.
Though Lesnar has now been in the public eye for decades, he believes the version of him that people see on television isn’t who he actually is.
“People see the entertainment Brock Lesnar and they think that that’s who I am, but it’s not who I am,” Lesnar said on Spittin Chiclets. “And I don’t let people into my circle enough to know. It’s been a mystique for a long time. But I’m still — I can be an assh*le when I want to be.”
Lesnar is now a few weeks away from facing off against Oba Femi at WrestleMania 42. There have been rumors about Lesnar retiring this year, so this could potentially be his last WrestleMania. He signed a new WWE contract in 2025 when he returned to the company for the first time since his name was mentioned in Janel Grant’s lawsuit against Vince McMahon and WWE.
