#4. Yokozuna helped WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi

Yokozuna was a larger-than-life WWE character that was taken away from the world too soon. The former Champion not only made a name for himself in the wrestling world during his WWE run but also helped out several other WWE superstars.

One of these stars was WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi, who noted in a recent WWE docuseries that when he was in dire need of money, Yokozuna handed him a blank cheque.

"Back in the day when I was a Headshrinker, Yoko was making a lot of money. And we were kind of doing so so. I just moved into this home, pretty much dumped everything I had into this home. And I needed heat in my home. I had no money and uh, Rodney. He gave me a blank check and he signed it, and I came home and put a new system in the home. My family and the kids, we had heat, and a house. And he was around, you know, when times are hard for me."

As noted, Rikishi isn't the only WWE Superstar that was helped by Yokozuna - the star had a big heart and was known to be charitable with his income.
