Death Clutch audiobook

The book Death Clutch is about Brock Lesnar and his lifes jerney to be the best at anything he does. His life was full of road blocks. He went from having nothing as a child that lives on a farm to having everything and being the UFC world champion. What struck me the best about the book was how if he really wanted something he got it no matter how hard it was he got it. This book is not a part in a series so I cant read more of them. The lesson I learned from this book was that no matter how hard it is to get what you want you can reach it if you want it bad enough. I would recomend reading this book because its a good book and it had alot of life lessons to learn from it. I have read a lot of books but this is the first book that has made me wanna work hard for what I want. This book kept me wanting to read it more and more. So that means it was a good book because I dont like to read much. So I strongly recomend you read this book!

a concise, matter-of-fact summary of lesnar's career up to the velasquez loss. lesnar is an uncomplicated man - he wants to get paid, full stop - but the book does cover his drug/alcohol addiction, his early life on the farm and as an unheralded (perhaps pre-steroid) HS wrestling prospect, and his uncomplicated thoughts about former employers, opponents, and so on ("I wanted to smash him to get money," "I wanted to work less but earn more," "I had to win the NCAA title because I wanted to be champion"). more depth might have been interesting, but it seems unlikely that still waters run deep in lesnar's case. it also would be nice to have brock discuss how critical "the juice" has been to his athletic career - I suspect few have "grown" as much as he has, in conjunction with whatever natural advantages he has - but he'll likely take those secrets to his grave.

I read the book Death Clutch by Brock Lesnar which is his Autobiography that he wrote. He wrote this to set the record straight about his life. Brock Lesnar was a former NCAA Champion in Division I wrestling, a WWE Superstar, and a UFC fighter. Brock grew up in South Dakota on a farm. He was a decent wrestler, never had a chance to get a scholarship to a DI school, so he went to community college. He won the Junior College National Championship in 1998, after that he went to Minnesota to wrestle. He won the NCAA DI Heavyweight Championship in 2000. He joined the WWE in 2002 after training for Profession Wrestling. He won the WWE Championship, and had a very good run in the WWE until it was cute short in 2004. He decided to train in MMA, and he joined the UFC in 2008 and won the UFC Heavyweight championship at the end of the year. After UFC 100 he took a hiatus because he had a disease called diverticulitis which sidelined him for a year. He returned at UFC 116 and lost the title Cain Velazquez at UFC 121. This book is meant for an Advanced age, which is 12-18, because of the content and the words might be harder for a younger child to understand. There are pictures in the middle of the book which are photographs of Brock in important events of his life. I read this book, and it is great, it gives you a view into the world of Brock, who doesn’t let many people into his home life at all.

I looked for this book everywhere till I got to know that you do not get a hardcopy of it. (Now you do a few years ago we didn't.) I finally bought myself an e-copy and it was totally worth the wait. Who knew that the 'beast incarnate' is actually a very devoted family man who misses his kids and wife. Former WWE and UFC Champion, Brock Lesnar may not be a proficient writer but he very well knows how to tell his tale without beating around the bush. He is brutally honest and arrogant AF. But c'mon you have to give him credit for fighting a man as powerful as Vince McMahon. I loved this book and will urge any WWE fan to read it. If you are a Brock Lesnar fan then you just can't afford to miss this book as he finally gives a slight peek into his fiercely guarded personal life.Full review on AlphaGirlReviews.com Follow me on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest

When people say,"Brock lesnar is the baddest dude alive" they aren't lying. In this book, he talks about all the sacrifices he made to become a national heavyweight champion, and the determination and hard work he had to put in in order to be the baddest "dude" on the planet. He starts off talking about his child hood and why he started wrestling, he talks about his high school career and his achievements through out that time. After that Brock goes into talking about the life of being a WWE superstar and talking about all the cons their are compared to the pros. the last part of the book is about his carrier in the UFC and the his road to success and becoming a UFC championThis book was a great eye opener to all of his fans that though he just lives, breathes, eats fighting. He talks in the book about how much he loves his family and that he had to basically quit the WWE for his family. Overall I really liked the book but i was disappointed that Brock ended his book before he announced his retirement.

What do you expect from a man who is protective of his life and family.... This book is basically the only information he's willing to share, to anyone, about his life and all the crap he went through to get where he is today. I for one love him so it's not hard to believe that I enjoyed getting more information on his life... But honestly, he's a meathead, what do you expect from someone who takes a beating to their body every day for money... Not a lot of intellect there but a good resource for insight.

This is an amazing book...if u r a fan of Brock Lesnar! Some ppl might find it gud ...some ppl not.If u looking for something particular then you might be disappointed. But despite that..its an amazing book.You can't expect much ..cause it's not a fiction,Its an auto-biography.Some thing might excite you..some things don't.And read this one...for things you don't knw about brock..and also WWE.

Brock Lesnar is my idol and he has proven himself to be one of the best. He may not be a crossfitter, but he is a great power lifter and lots of people could learn a thing or two from him. He is a motivational man who puts his heart and soul into everything he does. Brock Lesnar is a freakishly strong athlete who stops at nothing. The key to success is working hard and to rise up above others. Brock proved that when he became the first NCAA Division 1 Heavyweight champion.

As though you might find the attitude and words used in this book a bit cocky and arrogant on Brock Lesnar's behalf, it shows the determination, hardwork, discipline and commitment to perusing his dreams.the book uses easy and understandable language for all and is a must for all WWE, wrestling or The Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar himself.

Lesnar is awesome wrestler and a Godly Man ..He is Christian and write this wonderful book which is for everyone.when he destroyed taker at WM 30 HE Become the first man in history to beat him at wm ..He is loving and gentle person

The back cover and dust jacket cover warns you: Enjoy this book while it lasts. This is the one and only time that Brock Lesnar is going to share anything, no matter how basic on a personal level, with you. He also reiterates in both these few pages and in his recent ESPN interviews that Brock Lesnar is all about one thing: business. He is all about making the money and spending as much time with his family (whether in Minnesota or Canada) as possible. Lesnar has been a prize fighter since he won the NCAA Division 1 Heavyweight Championship in 2000. After getting burned out after only two years on the road (though at a rate of ~300 days per year) with the WWE, it was clear that the various promoters who handle The Beast need to remember exactly that: Lesnar is best used as a prize fighter who is not overexposed and utilized in your big-money, big-exposure spots. Lesnar wrote this book near the end of his time with the UFC. Between his time with the UFC and his eventual return to the WWE, it is clear in these pages that Brock finally felt that sense of relief that his current promoter (Dana White, and later Vince McMahon) began to accept and embrace Lesnar as a seldom, though effectively, used prize fighter. Lesnar explores quite a bit more than I expected him to cover in this book. His upbringing on a family farm in South Dakota, the strong family influence he felt on being consistently successful in athletics, and his academic and wrestling journey from community college to the University of Minnesota are all topics that are well-explored by the timid, private Lesnar. Later on, his near-death experiences during his reign as UFC Heavyweight champion is extensively covered. I found great pleasure in Lesnar's openness on all of these life events, as they aren't familiar subjects of conversation and with even fewer details shared with the public (even to the knowledge of avid wrestling and MMA fans). The fact that Lesnar was open on subjects that I was surprised for him to share on is why I am sort-of okay in Brock practically passing over his initial WWE run from 2002-04 entirely in this book. Do we really need to hear Lesnar recap his iconic two years in WWE? The entire world knows how he was billed as "The Next Big Thing" and quickly became the youngest and quickest to win the WWE championship in history. Many remember him bulldozing over the competition, which included legends Ric Flair, The Rock, and The Undertaker. However, many try to forget how he walked away from the WWE following a brutal, embarrassing final match at Wrestlemania 20. And several more turn a blind eye to why Lesnar really walked away, which all came down to the 300 day work schedule. In order to manage that extreme pain and stress, Lesnar developed harmful additions to daily abuse of drinking multiple bottles of vodka and pain pills. Do you really want to hear THE BEAST, THE CONQUERER, open up that blast from the past? Thus, I am very understanding when Lesnar simply explains that he "doesn't really remember" his 2 year run in the WWE. *Whew, we dodged a bullet there!The rest of the book surprisingly makes up for this lack of coverage of a significant time in his life. But not by much. Lesnar still remains guarded about certain things, and only reveals as much as he has to and felt like sharing with Paul Heyman on that particular day that they were co-writing this book. Very few details - and even a mere mention of their names - regarding his wife, Sable, and their two children make it into the finished cut of this autobiography. The book overall is a quick read, though I hung on every word, as I knew this was one of the few, if only, times that the public would get such a "detailed" glance into his life. If Lesnar had given us a few more inside stories that we hadn't heard before, this book easily would've received a 5 star rating. As it is, it is still a good book that everyone should give a day to read.Brock, please don't come after me for only giving you 4 stars. I'm a Minnesotan, a Gopher fan through and through. Please don't destroy one of your own. Thanks.

Many people with modest upbringing, upon gaining celebrity and the fame and fortune that goes with it allow their character to change, turning themselves into (for want of a better word) a real jerkass. Not so in the case of Brock Lesnar. I am thoroughly convinced that had he not struck stardom and remained a poor dairy farmer from South Dakota, he would have been just as big of an all-around jerkass. His poor dairy farmer background is one that I assure you shan't forget upon reading this literary masterpiece as he mentions it 64 times in it's 210 pages. You'll also ascertain that nobody among his millions of fans love Brock Lesnar as much as Brock Lesnar. Apart from his wife, children and The Undertaker (or Taker as Brock refers to him) that is indeed the sum of the people he loves. There is not an organization that he's participated in (U of M wrestling, WWF, Japanese wrestling, NFL etc...) who hasn't gone out of their way to screw the poor dairy farmer. There is rarely a person he has encountered in his life that is a real human being, but rather frauds and a-holes. Even his best friends are extremely jealous of everything about him. The great irony of the book is that it was written when he was at the peak of his powers in the UFC, rambling about how none of his opponents stood a chance. In fact a large portion of the book is calling out these WWE lifers who for lack of alternatives have to stay in wrestling as their bodies break down, something he knew he was always above. Well the book hasn't aged well as the poor dairy farmer from Dakota has since been exposed as a mixed martial artist and is back wrestling in the WWE as a lifer. Tough one to rate. The negativity in this book first annoyed, then angered, before finally humoring me to great levels! Brock Lesnar might be a worse person than...(gulp)....Lance Armstrong! Death Clutch...Four stars!

I'm not the biggest Brock Lesnar fan, but this was a short audio book I decided to give a chance. I'm glad I did. There wasn't an overkill of particular wrestling matches, although the UFC fights were detailed a bit more.The best thing about this book is that Brock tells it like it is. His opinions, in his own words, and he doesn't give a damn. It caught me off guard because he is a soft spoken character on television and keeps privacy more than others. He is relentless in the book.I wish Brock would write a second book, or rerelease Death Clutch with added chapters. It would be interesting to hear him talk about more people in the wrestling/fighting business and things that have happened to him. There won't be any literature awards, but Brock is pretty good at giving brutal honesty.

After done reading the book, I find out why he named his book "Death Clutch". You can learn a lot from Brock who came out from farm in Dakota to Hollywood and become a rock star. I will definitely recommend this book to young youth to learn about his life and how Brock achieved everything what he wanted. When you start reading the book, you carried away and you want to learn everything about the person in the book. This book is that kind, you will not feel bored and you will learn a lot from this guy about life, how you should stick with your family and what you want to achieve in life.

Exactly what you'd expect from a book with Brock Lesnar's name. Proper prize-fighter. If you've seen enough of him, like I have by following his WWE career, you can read the book in his voice. That makes it a better reading experience. Brand Brock Lesnar doesn't "give a shit" about this review, neither anyone else's. He got paid for this book before it even got published, so why even have a review section for his book? Absolute legend.

"Don't ask me about my personal life or anything thats not your business . This one time and just one time i will let you all inside the life of Brock lenser , don't ask ever again "How can you not pick a book that says this in the back cover . Its very well written and its a joy if you're a 90s wwe fan .

Lesnar is that rarest of beasts in the wrestling world: a guy who does things on his own terms and without falling victim to the industry’s many trappings. In Death Clutch, he beats this point into the ground, but manages to do so in a charming way. Some feat, huh? I’d have loved this book to have been longer, but it’s a decent read for 200-odd pages.

I loved how he used the word shit in different ways at the right time. It’s a fun read. He’s always out there not for other people’s approval but for himself and his loved ones. Underneath all those muscles and strong character is a family man and that is his top priority.

This book is awespiring!!!Wow, I am so touched by how Brock became from nothing to something he ever dreamed to be in real life. This book inspires me to take action towards achieving goals.
