3 Wrestling legends that were fake, and 5 that might be real

True: Andre the Giant drank 119 beers in one sitting--and then had wine with dinner

This urban legend sounds too incredible to believe, but there are numerous witnesses--among them Andre's anesthesiologist--can confirm that the big man did indeed have incredible tolerance for alcohol.

While most wrestlers have their height and weight exaggerated--Hulk Hogan was billed as six foot eight when he was closer to six foot four--Andre's height and weight were legit seven feet, four inches and nearly five hundred pounds. That amount of mass means that he would have incredible tolerance if he weren't a dedicated drinker. Men like Hulk Hogan can personally attest to his tolerance.

And boy, was Andre ever a dedicated drinker! When his anesthesiologist asked about his tolerance in preparation for back surgery, Andre told him it took two liters of vodka just to get a buzz.

Andre's legendary drinking turns out to be more truth than myth.
