Abraham Lincoln is enshrined in the Wrestling Hall of Fame!

Abraham Lincoln is one of the most well known of all American Presidents because of his strong and direct involvement in the abolishment of slavery in the United States. However, despite his notoriety and all of the references in popular culture to him, there are some things you haven't ever heard about Lincoln.

Abraham Lincoln, as a young man, was an incredible wrestler due to his strength and the length of his limbs. Allegedly, Lincoln only lost one out of the 300 matches he had fought in during his wrestling career.

If that isn't cool enough, Honest Abe was also a trash talker in the ring. According to Carl Sandburg, after Lincoln beat his opponent with ease, he turned to the crowd and said “I’m the big buck of this lick. If any of you want to try it, come on and whet your horns."

His immaculate wrestling abilities earned him an "Outstanding American" award, and he was inducted into the Wrestling Hall of Fame.

Workaholics is filmed in the house they lived in when the show started

The TV show "Workaholics" centers on three guys that live together, work together and party as much as possible. The three actors Adam Devine, Blake Anderson and Anders Holm play characters with the same first names as their real-life selves that are stuck at dead-end office jobs and still loving life.

Along with Scrubs executive producer Kevin Etten, these men created the show that airs on Comedy Central. The names of the characters and the actors that play them are not the only thing the show shares with real life.

The show is actually shot in the very same real-life house that the three men lived in when they first started creating the show. They describe how they would wake up and catering would be outside with breakfast for them and production would be ready to go.

Adam even describes how he gained weight because of all the chocolate covered raisins he ate.
