Publisher's summary

"He is the biggest pay-per-view attraction in the world. He is "the Baddest Dude on the Planet.' "

He is Brock Lesnar.

For countless fans of professional wrestling and mixed martial arts, Brock Lesnar has long been known for his freakish athleticism, mind-blowing speed, and meteoric rise to the top. Yet despite the fame and fortune that have come with his enormous success, Brock has shunned the media, choosing instead to remain intensely private about his life and his accomplishments.

Now, for the first time, he tells his remarkable story in his own words, describing the journey from his South Dakota farmboy roots to becoming the most popular pay-per-view attraction in the world. From the small-town amateur wrestling where he honed his skills to taking on The Rock at SummerSlam, Brock discusses how his natural athletic talent combined with the dark side of the wrestling business to make him the youngest-ever WWE World Champion.

Epic as it was, Brock's overnight rise to fame came with a price, as he saw firsthand the toll that life on the road and in the ring could take on a pro wrestler's body and mind. Weary of the punishing lifestyle and backstabbing politics, he chose to do the unthinkable: walk away from professional wrestling at the peak of his career and break all ties with the organization that made him a star on the global stage. It was a move that stunned WWE executives and fans alike, and one that Brock himself has never fully explained - until now.

Not one to stay quiet for long, Brock was soon back in the spotlight: this time in the UFC - home of the most dangerous mixed martial arts fighters in the world. Here he offers a behind-the-scenes look at his shocking decision to leave the wrestling entertainment business for a legitimate combat sport. From training to be a real fighter, to immediately being thrown into the Octagon against the UFC's best heavyweights, to the psychology behind his legendary trash-talking, Brock opens up about what it takes not only to succeed in the world's fastest-growing sport but to become the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the World. He also speaks candidly about the illness that nearly killed him, how it changed him as a fighter and a man, and how it shaped his will to survive.

In the end, Brock holds nothing back. A revealing, raw, and ultimately redemptive tale of Brock's determination and domination, DeathClutch is the untold true story of becoming one of life's true champions.

Fun read

I made the mistake of thinking this was some WWE produced piece of garbage for a long time until I finally read a bit more about it. Still, I like my books to go at least 6-8 hours, at least - and this was well below that....

BUT, eventually, I went ahead and bought the book - and it's fantastic. This is a really fun read where Brook is quick to call people out by name. It has great stories, great insight (at times) to events, and he makes it easy to visual what Brook is experiencing at any given moment.

Brock is absolutely a natural heel, so it makes it pretty funny to read reviews from wrestling fans where they complain about Brock the person. Now that is a mark.

In any case this is a fun, quick and easy read.

Very self absorbed, could admit no fault.

I regret spending a credit on this book. Brock comes across as very entitled the whole book.

Can't keep a Beast down!

I learned a lot about what Brock Lesnar was doing when he left the squared circle in '04 I love what he'd accomplished throughout his Trials and tribulations. I'm even happier that he's back in the WWE after covid19. Thanks for the insight Brock.

Very inspiring…

Very inspiring… here is a man who knew what he wanted out of life and went after it to become larger than life. For himself, and most importantly for his family. This man is the epitome of the American spirit captured in one amazing story of trial, error, heartache, pain, hard work, redemption, and ultimately success. Great book!

Great book.

I’ve watched wrestling since I was a kid. I really became a followers of Brocks when he got into the UFC. I admire his attitude towards life, work, family, and himself. Def interesting getting a insight on him off camera.
