WWE's current monster heel is also an accomplished strongman. Strowman medaled in more than half a dozen lifting competitions before he joined that swamp cult. I like to imagine Bray Wyatt setting up a table to pass out promotional pens at the Arnold Classic.

It turns out that competitively hoisting absurdly hefty weights over your head is great practice for grabbing people by the neck and lifting them until they pass out. Who knew?
