A legendary figure in the world of professional wrestling, the late great "Macho Man” Randy savage was a popular figure right from his debut in the early 1980s up until his death in 2011.

In a case of using your weakness as an advantage, Savage used his Obsessive Compulsive Disorder in order to become one of the best wrestlers the world has ever seen. OCD is a mental condition where things have to be just right and can cause the patient great mental anguish when things aren't just perfect.

Savage used this in order to meticulously plan his matches beforehand and ensured top quality matches every time he stepped foot into the ring. There is a reason his matches against Hulk Hogan are still regarded so highly.

Randy Savage is a great example of how to embrace your problems and tackle them head on in order to make the best of your situation. There are also strong rumours that John Cena himself suffers from OCD but this has never officially confirmed.
