Brock Lesnar‘s segment on E:60 aired yesterday, and we learned a few things about the WWE-superstar turned UFC heavyweight contender. Namely:
— His childhood on a struggling dairy farm in Bumblefuck, South Dakota, inspired him to achieve something greater with his life.
— He’s always liked beating the crap out of people. “Handling another human being and making him feel less than you is, I don’t know, something that I got a thrill out of,” Lesnar says.
— He never watched “a lick” of pro wrestling before he joined the WWE.
— Being a WWE champion takes its toll, both physically and emotionally. He wrestled for six months with a blown-out knee and three broken ribs, and lost two years of memories to vodka and pain pills, which he was basically addicted to.
— Bret “The Hitman” Hart looks scary-old.
— Steroids are a touchy subject for Lesnar, even though he’s never taken them. When the interviewer starts asking him about his unnaturally large physique, Brock sees where the line of questioning is headed and storms off. “I have never failed a fucking drug test,” he says later.
— Lesnar doesn’t put much faith in Randy Couture‘s claim that he’s stronger now than he was 10 years ago. “My ass, he is. I’m 31 and I’m not as strong as I was 10 years ago. That’s a straight-up lie.”
After the jump: E:60‘s full reporter/producer discussion on the Brock Lesnar story.

Lots of people are jumping the gun! I mean he is good….as good as kimbo….not saying Kimbos bad…. ”
Dude.
Really?
Did you just use the word “good” in conjunction with Kimbo?
And you’re not saying Kimbo’s bad?
Dude.
I would LOVE to see Brock v. Kimbo. Just to prove what a joke Kimbo really is. Brock would annihilate him and have him sucking shit sandwiches through a straw. Period. Brock is insanely fast for someone his size, and powerful. Ask Heath Herring. He knocked him across the ring with one shot. I don’t care about his “professional wrestling” career, I know the man has some serious potential to go to the top in MMA. As far as the steroid use goes, he was in the WWE or whatever. Isn’t that a prerequisite for that? Like it or not, Brock’s gonna be around for a bit.
