Wrestlers WWF/WWE that have been in the Olympics
Mark Henry
1996 Olympic Games
He took part in the weightlifting competition, but due to a back injury, his performance was actually disappointing. He finished 14th even though he could have done much better due to his experience. However, Henry became a true star during that period and attracted the attention of Vince McMahon. He offered Henry an unbelievable 10-year contract on the spot, which is something that is very unheard of.
'Mad Dog' Vachon
is a WWE Hall Of Famer and is someone who had a big impact on the business during his time in the sport. His character was very wild and aggressive and 'Mad Dog' always pulled things off well.
However, that's mainly due to his strong background as an amateur wrestler. He competed in the 1948 Olympic Games, finishing 7th overall. He impressed in the tournament and proved himself to be a great grappler in the process
The Iron Sheik Iranian or American
From one WWE legend to another, The Iron Sheik is another talent who has been involved in the Olympic Games throughout his life. WWE claimed that he wrestled and represented Iran, but that was only a storyline.
However, he did play a big part in the 1972 Olympic Games where he worked as an assistant to the coach for the USA team, proving that he has a lot of knowledge in the sport.

KAMIKAZE PILOTS
The Kamikaze pilots who returned fall into two distinct groups. Those who returned due to weather conditions or mechanical failures in their place and those who returned due to not being able to perform their task successfully due to psychological reasons. Each group received different treatment on their return.
The pilots who could prove that their return was caused by conditions outside of their control were neither punished nor looked down upon. During a stage of the war when even pilots were classed as a scarce resource the Japanese could not afford to lose a well trained Kamikaze pilot and thus their return was accepted and their ‘last flight’ was rescheduled although some still felt survivor’s guilt over if they were the only one in their squadron to survive.

DO NOT FREEZE
Fully cooked pasta
Freezing pasta (or rice, for that matter) is never a good idea for the same reason that reheating refrigerated pasta can be so tricky. Once fully cooked, pasta and other starchy grains can’t withstand much more heat. Needless to say, the amount of heat required to revive a frozen pasta is a bridge too far. The end result? A mushy mess that bears no resemblance to the al dente dinner you were dreaming of.
Wine
Any sommelier or wine connoisseur would tell you to absolutely not freeze wine…and that’s valid, assuming your intention is to drink it straight from the glass in the future. All types of wine, or at least the kind worth drinking in the first place, can be re-corked and stored in the fridge for three to five days after opening—and some of us (raises hand) would say that is plenty of time to finish the job. Still, if you’re a particularly light drinker who’s loath to see that half bottle go to waste, you can and should freeze it. The catch? Once thawed, the wine should be used for cooking purposes only, not for imbibing, as it will most certainly have lost most of its character in the harsh climate of your freezer.
