Wrestlers whose careers lasted longer than you would have expected
I was thinking about this last night, and I couldn't believe how long this guy was in the WWE
![]() I liked him, and when I see that he was in WWE for 15 years, I couldn't believe that this guy was in the biggest wrestling company in the world for as long as he was, and he never really accomplished more than holding the tag team belts. Who lasted longer than you would have thought? |

Lol Hardcore Holly. Every time he was on the screen I always thought 'wow, that guy has been in the WWE since the early 90's'.
Remember when they TRIED to give him a decent push up the card in his fued with Brock Lesnar.

Chavo is the only surviving member of the Alliance who came from WCW/ECW, which is pretty impressive considering that he's... Chavo.
![]() I mean, they had Christian and William Regal, but they were already in the WWF before that, and people like Rey Mysterio came after the Invasion angle. But after the Invasion, after the title unifications, immunity battle royals and the big Survivor Series finale... the only man left from the Alliance, is Chavo Fuckin' Guerrero!

As soon as I opened this thread, I knew I was going to post "Bob Holly" but it looks like I was well beaten to the punch.
My second choice is Regal. He's been in the WWE for almost a decade despite being on the wrong side of 30 and wrestling in a very unconventional style (by WWE standards). I love the guy, like most of the IWC, but it's amazing he's still around considering how much of an acquired taste he is. |

Maybe 10 years ago someone would have said Flair. Now we're all to wise to the fact that he won't give it up. Therefore, nobody is surprised that he's still going.
I'm surprised Jeff Hardy is a still going. Thought his body would have given up on him by now. |

Jericho came across before the Invasion happened. I mean strictly Alliance guys, WCW/ECW guys who came into the company after the buyouts.

Undertaker, Kane, Disco Inferno...
Basically any gimmick that should by all accounts be ridiculous, but somehow lasted a long time. |

Shawn Michaels. 12 years ago I never thought I'd see him wrestle again and now he's just retired after cementing his legacy as the greatest performer of all time for the last 8 years.

Rey Mysterio. Way back in WCW, he was just "one of those cruiserweights".

Hardy has a drug habit to support...gotta pay the bills!! And agreed with Flair, his ass will die in the fucking ring. I predict it being shortly after dropping a knee on his jacket. WOO!!!!! *clutches chest*............and scene.

I'm going to go with KANE in this case. Who would've thought when he was Isaac Yankem DDS, or "Fake Diesel", that 15 years later he would still be in the WWE, and would be a Future Hall of Famer, and 2 Time World Champion?

Kane, who the hell thought he'd still be around.
Val Venis lasted a lot longer than expected. Funaki and Hardcore Holly of course Last but not least Hornswoggle. Remember when he was Little Bastard? I figured he'd be like Mini-Dust and gone within a couple weeks. |

If only we were so lucky. Speaking of Hornswoggle, I never thought that Finlay would have continued his active wrestling career in WWE. He was well over 40 when he started wrestling in WWE. But good for him, he even got to be in a few Wrestlemanias. |
