10 Times WWE Rewrote Its History Books

Both at the time and in subsequent retrospectives, Hulk Hogan body-slamming Andre the Giant at WrestleMania III has been portrayed as a feat of supreme, unrivaled physical strength.

And whilst it's perfectly true that only a handful of us would have been able to lift a 500lb+ man off his feet - let alone in front of a capacity crowd and a worldwide television audience - it can't be ignored that Hogan wasn't the first to lift the big Frenchman (nor, indeed, was it even the first time Hogan did it).

In fact, see the YouTube compilation above which claims to show every single time Andre was slammed to the mat, with the first dating all the way back to 1972 - more than a decade before the 'Hulkster' stunned the Pontiac Silverdome.
