The WWE is not about wrestling. It’s not about the smack talk or even that it’s a machine that churns out its stars into full-fledged celebrities. What it’s really about is the spectacle. Events feel big, the action is thrilling and the storylines theatrical.

For wrestlers to perform, they depend on allies, adversaries and most of all, eye-catching props. Cars, trucks, limos and even tanks not only serve as ways to transport wrestlers to the ring, but also aid them in their destructive ends.

Harder than a padded mat, cars catch wrestlers as they’re slammed, thrown and beaten into its exterior. While many cars get destroyed by wrestlers in the WWE, there are plenty they drive in but wouldn’t dare put a scratch on.

We’re going to look at the cars wrestlers didn’t hesitate to wreck, along with the cars they’d take a personal beating over before letting anyone lay a hand on it.
