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.
