#4. WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry still drives the Hummer that he won in 2002

Whilst Mark Henry has enjoyed a 25-year career with WWE, the company gave him some time off back in 2002 so that he could compete in the first annual Arnold Strongman Classic.

Henry competed against some of the biggest names in the business and was able to come out on top and win the $10,000 grand prize. The WWE Hall of Famer also won a Hummer which he still drives to this day.

This competition took place almost two decades ago and allowed Henry to set several records. One of the biggest talking points was the fact that the former world champion became the first man to cleanly lift the 172-plus pound Thomas Inch Dumbbell over his head.

Henry has excelled in both powerlifting and Olympic lifting, which has added to his on-screen character throughout his WWE career. While the former WWE star failed to win a medal in either the 1992 or 1996 Summer Olympics, he did win a silver medal in the 1995 Pan American Games before joining WWE after the 1996 Olympics.
