4 Former WWE Wrestlers Who Look Identical To Current Superstars

With how many talent come and go from WWE, it's truly inevitable that some wrestlers will look alike -- and besides, if Vince McMahon likes a certain look, it can be guaranteed he'd be on the lookout for another performer with a similar build and appearance.

Now we have all heard of the comparisons between past and present WWE stars talent-wise (Seth Rollins and Shawn Michaels for example), but the following 4 pairs of former and current WWE Superstars share far more than just a similar move set in the ring and charisma... As we all know, history is bound to repeat itself, so it's definitely not all too surprising that some of the present WWE roster resembles legends from the past.

In fact, there are actually quite a few current WWE stars who look rather similar, with Kurt Hawkins and Buddy Murphy being a prime example of this -- Seth Rollins and Elias make another worthy mention.

Some of these identical former/current wrestlers will have you contemplating if the WWE have a secret "Superstar factory" where they custom design their wrestlers, because yes, many of the similarities are that uncanny! With that said, let's take a closer look at 4 former WWE wrestlers who look identical to current Superstars.

#4 Damien Sandow and Elias...

Before the WWE Universe was blessed with the talent, charisma and musical abilities of Elias, we had the extraordinarily underrated Damien Sandow -- "The Intellectual Savior To The Masses". While Elias is mainly based around a guitar/singing gimmick where as Damien Sandow was an obnoxious scholar, the two definitely share a very similar vibe, personality, and best of all, an uncanny resemblance looks-wise.

Taking a peek at the photograph showcased above of Sandow side-by-side with Elias, if you hadn't known better, there's a good chance you'd either have believed they were the same person at two different points in time, or twin brothers.

The void of Damien Sandow has been filled with the newcomer Elias, and we as fans can only hope that the WWE make right on Elias, and give him the main event opportunities they took away from the former Money In The Bank briefcase holder, Damien Sandow.

#3 Mick Foley and Luke Harper

This may be an old photo of Luke Harper, but the resemblance between the two is still uncanny...

A comparison that we have surprisingly never really talked about or pointed out would undoubtedly be the uncanny resemblance between WWE Hall Of Famer Mick Foley, and current Bludgeon Brother, Luke Harper.

Although the comparison photo of Luke Harper shown above is rather old (well before he made it to WWE), it gives fans a perspective of how identical they would look if Luke cleaned up his beard and cut his hair a bit shorter -- Mick and Luke could easily pose as brothers to people who didn't know any better.

Funny enough, Mick Foley is a well-known supporter of Luke Harper, and the former WWE Champion has stated that he believes Luke has all the tools required to be a breakout star, and that if Harper was a stock, Mick would invest in him right away. This was back in 2014 when Luke was still a member of The Wyatt Family, and unfortunately, the WWE have not utilized Luke Harper to his fullest potential after his split from Bray Wyatt.

However, it's definitely not too late for Luke, and considering Erick Rowan is out with an injury, who knows what the future holds for Harper...

#2 Snitsky and Braun Strowman

Snitsky has changed his appearance drastically since leaving WWE, and he has become Braun Strowman 2.0

"The Monster Among Men" Braun Strowman is unquestionably a once in a lifetime kind of WWE Superstar, because the gargantuan of a human being possesses freak size, agility, in-ring talent, and best of all, a connection with the WWE Universe -- a surefire top Superstar.

Braun certainly has a unique monstrous look, but surprisingly, Strowman isn't the only guy that wrestled in WWE that shares that appearance. If you haven't kept up with big Gene Snitsky following his release in late 2008, then you'd undoubtedly be surprised and shocked at what the monster looks like today...

Since leaving WWE, Gene Snitsky has gotten himself into the absolute best shape of his life, and he's truly looking like a "Monster Among Men".

The resemblance between Snitsky and current WWE Superstar Braun Strowman is incredible, as they have a very similar build, face, and of course, that burly beard.

Although Snitsky was never the greatest in-ring wrestler, I for one would love to see Gene return to the WWE for a possible feud or storyline with Braun Strowman -- who knows, maybe the WWE would bring Snitsky back as Strowman's long lost brother?

#1 Trish Stratus and Mandy Rose

Trish Stratus is arguably one of the greatest WWE women's wrestlers of all time...

To this very day, fans are still obsessed with WWE Hall Of Famer, Trish Stratus. Without question, Trish Stratus was an absolute bombshell if we've ever seen one, and her in-ring ability was almost as good as her overall look -- hence why she was pushed heavily throughout her run in WWE.

Trish was definitely ahead of her time, and with a legendary feud with an equally-gifted women's wrestler (Lita), the two women tore the house down during their infamous matches.

Considering most fans (and Vince McMahon) would classify Trish Stratus as being the total package, it was certainly inevitable that Vinnie Mac would be keeping his eye out on a woman who shared a similar look. Well, the WWE have since found that said woman, and her name is Mandy Rose.

While Rose still has lots of work to do ring-wise to ever be on the same level as Stratus, if there's one thing for certain about Mandy Rose, it's the fact that she looks almost identical to Trish Stratus. Some fans have compared Alexa Bliss to Stratus looks and talent-wise as well, but Mandy is unquestionably Stratus' long lost wrestling twin!
