Long before the dominance of John Cena, The Undertaker, Brock Lesnar, and more, there existed Andre the Giant. The former WWE Superstar was a myth in himself. A true legend, he was known for many of his achievements and feats throughout his career.

Notably, Andre the Giant was famous for throwing 19 people over the top rope in a battle royal, as well as picking up, The Terminator, Arnold Schwarzenegger in public. Andre the Giant, however, had a unique talent. He was able to drink large amounts of alcohol without being sick.
