A few years ago, The Undertaker raffled off his prized
motorcycle, a West Coast Chopper named Ghost. All of the money that was raised
from the raffle went to the American Mighty Warriors Veterans Support Group,
and the Lake Hills Church in Austin.
Ghost was also The Undertaker’s last motorcycle at the
time, and also his favorite one out of all the motorcycles that he owned, so
giving it up for a raffle was seen as very generous from a superstar who is
renowned for being utterly ruthless in the ring.
Randy Orton :
Randy Orton has regularly dedicated his time to the Kids
Wish Network, meeting with fans of his, many of whom are young children who
have terminal diseases. All in all, not very many other WWE superstars have
dedicated as much time to the Kids Wish Network as Orton has.
Rey Mysterio :
WWE superstar, Rey Mysterio has been regularly involved
in the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which is an organization that grants kids who
are threatened with a terminal illness, a wish.
Mysterio is the
favorite wrestler of many of these kids, and he has touched the lives of
thousands of children all over the country.
CM Punk :
CM Punk is not only a major WWE superstar; he was also
once the World Heavyweight Champion. But beyond his skills in the wrestling
ring, CM Punk has also proven to be very generous outside of the arena.
He took part in the Kerry Wood’s Strike Zone Celebrity
Bowling Tournament, to bowl for charity, and also worked with the Organic
School Project in Chicago to help kids eat healthier. Punk himself has stated
his desire and passion for helping kids make good and healthy food choices from
an early age.
The Rock :
Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson has formed the Dwayne Johnson
Rock Foundation, which helps children who have special needs. The foundation
provides money to lend a hand in the recovery of these children, many of whom
have had to spend most, if not all, of their lives in the hospital.
Due to the immense
success of the foundation, Dwayne has expanded and now also works to help
children who struggle with obesity and who haven’t received a very complete or
decent education.
Hulk Hogan :
Hulk Hogan has started or been involved with numerous
charities throughout his career. He has
been involved with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, the 50 Legs Foundation, Special
Olympics and the American Diabetes Association. While Hogan is widely regarded
as one of the best WWE wrestlers of all time, He has also rightfully earned a
reputation as one of the most generous celebrities in the world. He regularly
raises tens of thousands of dollars at fundraisers and meets with fans,
including children with disabilities or terminal illnesses, everyday.
Triple H :
Triple H, along with his wife Stephanie McMahon, has
formed a charity called Connor’s Cure, which is funded via the Children’s
Hospital of Pittsburgh. Triple H was inspired to start the charity after an
eight-year-old Pittsburgh native, with the name of Connor, passed away due to a
terminal illness.
Connor became well known throughout the city of
Pittsburgh and inspired others all across the nation, to fight their own
personal medical problems.
John Cena :
The most generous WWE superstar of all time is undoubtedly,
John Cena. He is an ambassador for the Make-A-Wish Foundation to grant kids
wishes who have life threatening or terminal illnesses and diseases.
He has also given away millions of dollars and meets
several kids and fans of his, every single week. He has also worked with NBA
superstar and legend, Michael Jordan for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
Roman Reigns :
Reigns made the 14 spot in dosomething.org’s 2015 ‘Athletes Gone Good
List’, joining the likes of fellow WWE superstar John Cena. Reigns also
participated in an auction for charitybuzz.com, with proceeds going to the New
York Police and Fire Widows’ and Children’s Benefit Fund, which helps the
families of fallen police and firefighters.
He also makes many appearances for
WWE for the Susan G. Komen For the Cure Foundation.
Daniel Bryan :
The creator of the
“Yes!” movement has said just that when helping others in need.In 2012, Bryan
granted the ultimate wish for a 6-year-old boy diagnosed with brain cancer by
the name of Connor Michalek, the inspiration behind the WWE’s charity ‘Connor’s
Cure’.
Not only was Bryan
Connor's favorite wrestler, but the two formed a special bond that would last
up to his tragic death in 2014. Michalek was even ringside to watch Daniel
Bryan win the World Championship at WrestleMania XXX, and was the first person
Bryan embraced following his victory.
It is really hard to
believe this, but it's a really surprising fact. John Cena and Randy
Orton, who have been nothing short of arch-enemies in modern times, are
actually very good friends in real life.
Roman Reigns and
Dean Ambrose :
Reigns and Ambrose
continue to maintain their brotherhood on TV and are very good friends in real life.
In a recent interview, Ambrose revealed that although they were not working
together on the WWE storylines, Reigns continues to be his closest pal
backstage.
Shawn Michaels and
Triple H :
Shawn Michaels and
Triple H’s journey began since the inception of the Attitude Era days. Together
they formed the Degeneration X group which turned out to be one of the most
controversial factions of all-time. As time passed on, their on-screen
friendship crossed over to real life as they became inseparable best buddies.
Stephanie McMahon recently in an interview claimed that at first she thought
Hunter and Michaels were gay because they were so close to each other all the
time.
CM Punk and Kofi Kingston :
CM Punk and Kofi Kingston started their journey in the WWE as
tag-team champions. It was their first major belt in the company. After moving
forward to their respective individual careers, Punk became one of the biggest
names in the WWE specially after winning the WWE title which he held for 434
days.
Edge and Christian :
Adam Copeland who is better known as Edge, is a childhood friend
of Christian. The two worked together in the independent wrestling circuit
during the 90’s and worked their way up to the WWE where they formed an
alliance called The Brood and Christian was projected as his on-screen brother.
They went onto form a heel tag-team later, winning the tag titles for seven
times and became famous for the trademark “Five Second Pose.”
Steve Austin and Goldberg :
Many fans still believe Bill Goldberg’s push in WCW was meant to
be a rip off of WWE’s Steve Austin. If it was an imitation, it was a huge
success, as Goldberg became an instant hit for WCW. Many in the wrestling world
wanted to see Austin and Goldberg square off, but it sadly never happened.
Goldberg entered WWE the night after Austin retired at WrestleMania XIX.
Undertaker and Kane :
In real life, Glen Jacobs (Kane) and Mark Callaway (Undertaker)
are good friends. To the point where Mark had brought up the possibility of
Kane being the one to break the Undertaker's win streak at Wrestlemania, Glen
declined.
Daniel Bryan and Ryback :
Ryback has openly stated that he does not trust anyone in the
business. Ryback has specifically mentioned that Daniel Bryan is one of the few
wrestlers that he considers to be a good friend.
Seth Rollins & the new day
:
Seth Rollins might have no similarity to the New Day on-screen,
but they are great pals off-screen as Rollins loves to hang around the members
of the New Day. They’ve appeared quite a number of times on WWE TV when Rollins
was the WWE Champion, but haven’t been paired since but they don’t need that to
be happy and wise-cracking in their personal life. Rollins is great backstage
friends with the New Day.
Mick Foley and Terry Funk :
Hardcore legend Mick Foley and Terry Funk became first
acquainted during their stint in ECW (Extreme Championship Wrestling). They
were involved in one of the most brutal matches which was known as “King of the
Death Match” tournament in 1995 which was hosted by the IWA. He was known as
Cactus Jack at the time and won the final round against Funk.Later, in 2013,
Funk inducted his long time friend into the Hall of Fame.

reason why Goldberg gives it a 7 is because it’s red. He personally doesn’t

original color.
