To make it as a wrestler, you have to be tough. Really tough. After all, your body will take considerable damage each and every week, and if you're not prepared to deal with that pain, you're not going to make it for long.

In the WWE, there have been thousands of Superstars to come through the company, and each of whom have had to have a level of toughness ingrained into them, usually through working on the indies or for WWE's developmental promotions.

With that said, there are some WWE Superstars who have been able to be that bit tougher than the rest, and were able to hang with the toughest both on-screen, and off.

Here are five WWE Superstars, who are even tougher outside of the ring.


#5 Brock Lesnar

The reigning defending Universal Champion (though one wonders whether he can still be called defending), Brock Lesnar is perhaps the most successful WWE star to appear in both professional wrestling and MMA.

Joining the UFC after he first left the WWE, Lesnar won the UFC Heavyweight Championship in his third fight, and was a truly dominant champion until he returned to wrestling in 2012.

Even outside of the squared circle and the Octagon, the Beast Incarnate has proved his toughness, battling diverticulitis and coming out on top.

In 2004, Lesnar was even involved in a horrific motorcycle accident, and not only did he survive, but the Beast Incarnate was able to make it to the tryout for the NFL he was heading towards during the crash, on time. Fans may not like him, but they can't deny his toughness.
