Sometimes, you need a little extra help making it to the ring, and WWE is more than happy to oblige.
The Alamodome–site of last night’s Royal Rumble pay-per-view–is a big arena. The ramp from entrance to ring is quite long. So what are you to do if you’re a big dude who might get worn out by that long run?
Hitch a ride on a convenient golf cart, of course. Yes, WWE went to such lengths to prevent their big men from getting gassed that they offered chauffeuring services to their most sizable superstars. Braun Strowman, Big Show, Big E, Bray Wyatt, and Mark Henry all got driven to the ring.
I can’t not laugh at the video of Strowman looking like he’s riding the world’s biggest Segway.

Of course, not every star was happy with the service. It might, uh, imply some things about your physical presence. So says Big E, anyway.
Almost certain getting the golf cart Royal Rumble entrance was the company's not so subtle way of telling me I'm fat.

The event cameras, of course, stayed away from this delightful but utterly silly method of conveyance. That doesn’t mean fan cameras shied away, however.
A little extra convenience for WWE, or an unfortunate admission that their big men aren’t the most athletic? Let us know what you think in the comments below, or on Facebook!
