We touched upon this on our “5 WWE Wrestlers Who Are Avid Gamers” video.
Shelton Benjamin actually has an official Guinness World Record for having the highest
number of wins in the WWE THQ Superstar Challenge tournament.
This was an annual tournament set up by THQ, in which WWE superstars would compete to determine
who was the best SmackDown vs Raw player.
Shelton Benjamin has won the competition an impressive 4 times in a row and even voluntarily
stepped out for his 5th potential title in order to “…let somebody else get the chance
to know what it’s like to be the champ” according to him.
If Benjamin and Woods do ever clash on UpUpDownDown, grab a front row seat because it’s going
to be a good one!
Former WWE wrestler, AJ Lee achieved a Guinness World Record back in 2012 for being the first
female to win the annual WWE Superstar Challenge.
AJ Lee is actually an avid gamer so this challenge was right up her alley and without Shelton
Benjamin around she was able to breeze through the competition.
AJ Lee scored a victory in the opening round against Tamina and then another victory over
The Punjabi Playboy, The Great Khali in the quarter finals.
In the semi-finals she defeated the Intercontinental Champion at the time, Cody Rhodes before winning
the finals against The World’s Strongest Man, Mark Henry in a five-minute contest.
The Chairman of the WWE, Vincent Kennedy McMahon achieved a world record by becoming the oldest
person to win the then WWF Championship at the age of 54.
Shortly after winning the 1999 Royal Rumble, Vince McMahon went on to face Triple H for
the then WWF Championship in a match, where Shane McMahon was special guest referee.
Triple H dominated the match until The Texas Rattlesnake, Stone Cold Steve Austin interfered
and performed a Stone Cold Stunner on Triple H. He then dragged Vince’s battered body
onto Triple H which allowed Shane McMahon to make a 3 count thus making Vince McMahon
the new WWF Champion, which he vacated on the following episode of RAW.
It is a common misconception to think that the youngest WWE champion was Randy Orton
as he was the youngest WWE World Heavyweight Champion at 24 years old.
However, in actual fact it is the Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar who is the youngest WWE Champion
at the young age of 25.
He achieved this world record in 2002 after defeating the WWE Undisputed Champion at the
time, The Rock at SummerSlam not only making him the youngest WWE champion in history but
also the second fastest wrestler to win the WWE championship just after Ric Flair.
Prior to his WWE Championship victory, Lesnar also won the 2002 King of the Ring tournament
just months after his debut.
Not bad.
Not bad at all!
When you think of the kings and queens of selfies, Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber and the
Kardashian family all spring to mind but how about Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson?
At the world premiere of the movie, San Andreas, The Rock attempted to set a new Guinness World
Record with his fans for the most selfies taken in three minutes and successfully did
so.
The total number of accepted selfies he took was 105 meaning he would have taken a selfie
every two seconds.
He joked on twitter saying, “Helluva shoulder workout.
#SelfieKing”.
The Record has since been broken by Donnie Wahlberg on the 21st October 2016.
He took 122 selfies in three minutes.
