Brock Lesnar is often looked at as invincible, but it turns out that being a WWE star takes a toll on him mentally.
He opened up on dealing with anxiety during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show:
“I have a total crash after being in front of audiences. Like, I go hibernate in Saskatchewan. Like, my downers – like, the anxiety from that – like, takes me a few days to recover. Forever, yeah it’s been that way. Like, I used to be on – have big wrestling matches in high school and – like, to come down from big arenas it’s like, I get nervous around people and I’m awkward as f*ck. Yeah, but I’m putting on a show.
“Like I’ve got to go through all this thing, and that’s just who I am,” Lesnar continued. “And I like to go and just get away from the people. And it’s not that I dislike people. I mean, it’s not been that way, but some people, yeah, I don’t like. I just like to be left the f*ck alone, and because I’m like – like, I’m in front of an audience then it just exhausts me. And so I’ve got to go and like, recharge up.”
Lesnar will be part of the WWE Championship Elimination Chamber match this Saturday and will then go on challenge Universal Champion Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 38.
