#3.) He was roommates with Shelton Benjamin
Back when Lesnar studied in the University of Minnesota, he was roommates and close friends with Shelton Benjamin. Benjamin would even serve as Lesnar’s assistant coach during his amateur wrestling days.
In fact, they were so close that Jim Ross revealed in an interview that when Lesnar was signing a developmental contract with WWE, his main condition was that they signed Benjamin as well. Lesnar, in his own admission, got the biggest developmental contract deal up to that point, so the fact that he got Benjamin with him says a lot about how much WWE saw in him.
Lesnar and Benjamin would be a part of OVW’s golden batch that also featured John Cena, Batista and Randy Orton, among others.
