5 Superstars you never realized were in WWE for a decade

Longevity in wrestling is a rarity, as we see so many quality wrestlers get over with management and fans, but over time these once favoured superstars fizzle out faster than one would have expected. However, while many think of legendary wrestlers when discussing the topic of longevity, there are many surprising names that have been able to stay at a certain level for such a long time.

While many fans won't give WWE the credit of being the best wrestling promotion in the world, no one can deny that they are the biggest. One would think that due to WWE being the largest wrestling company in the world, only the best will get the chance to work for them. Well, some names on this might not be considered the best, but to be in WWE for ten years is an accolade.

So, let's go through some of the superstars you never knew were in WWE for a decade or more.

#1 The Usos

The Usos made their debut in WWE all the way back on the 8th of June 2009, and while that debut was in FCW(Florida Championship Wrestling), the brand served as a developmental promotion for future WWE superstars that were been monitored for a call-up. The Usos was a successful unit in FCW, as they picked up the tag team titles, but they were meant for bigger things on the main roster.

Just a year later the bothers would move to Raw, and as they say, the rest is history. However, when it comes to Jimmy and Jey nothing is never enough, as they always strive to outdo themselves in every single programme or match they perform in. While WWE is dropping the ball with them at the moment, don't expect them to fall off the radar entirely, as they never stay down for too long.

#2 Primo

The Carribean's coolest wrestler has not been on WWE television for quite a while now, but you would be surprised to know that his time in the company is longer than many even expected. Primo made his debut for the company on the 26th of January 2009 in FCW, and here's a fun fact, Primo and his partner at the time Eric Perez become the inaugural FCW Tag Team Champions.

Primo's time in FCW was limited as he was called up to the main roster where feuded with WWE's favourite apple chewing heel Carlito until they made amends with one another and joined forces. And while Primo's story in the WWE is nothing special, he did have some memorable stints in the WWE over the years.

As his time with Carlito is what fans will remember him for, or maybe his Los Matadores gimmick was more popular in the eyes of the WWE Universe. How ever you choose to remember Primo's legacy, his ability to stay in the company for so long has to be admired.

#3 Bo Dallas

Bo Dallas is such an underrated wrestler, as this is a man that has the look, the mic skills and the in-ring ability to succeed in the WWE as a top guy, but the company just can't find a way to include Dallas in their plans. Moreover, one can't say that WWE has not had enough time to evaluate Dallas' progress, as he has been in the company for over a decade now.

Debuting on the 8th of November 2008, Bo had been successful for most of his initial run in the company, as his stints in FCW and NXT made him a star in the eyes of many. But on the main roster, Dallas has been wasting away as a jobber in the B Team along with another talented star in Curtis Axel. As the only thing that could save Bo's career now is a reunion with his brother Bray Wyatt.

#4 Fandango

This is a superstar that was pegged for greatness since day one, as many remember Fandango's star power increase when he shockingly beat Chris Jericho at Wrestlemania, but the truth is that Fandango was successful way before that. This is a man that started wrestling in 1999, which is over twenty years ago. For reference, that is longer almost longer than Brock Lesnar's entire wrestling career.

Fandango's work on the indies caught the attention of WWE who signed him up and placed him on their developmental brand DSW(Deep South Wrestling) where he debuted on the 15th of February 2007. It was not long before he moved to FCW where he enjoyed moderate success as an FCW Tag Team Champion.

Fandango then participated and won NXT's fourth season(this was back when Titus O Neal was dropping kegs), before joining the main roster as the dancing sensation we all adore today. While Fandango's career might not have gone as many expected it to go, at least he gave us some memorable moments along the way.

#5 Big E

The powerhouse of the New Day had only risen into mainstream prominence back in 2013 when he was teaming with Dolph Ziggler. However, Big E has surprisingly been in the company longer than you might have expected.

Before the booty shaking pancake loving new day member was entertaining fans all over the world, he was making a name for himself down in FCW, as Big E debuted on the brand back in December of 2009. While it will only be ten years of Big E in December this year, it's safe to say that we will definitely see him complete his decade in the company, and many more years to come as well.

All of Big E's accomplishments in the WWE were only possible due to the man proving himself in the New Day, as who knows where he would have been if the group didn't find the popularity they had in 2015. Fans feel that Big E has not reached to full potential as yet, and imagine the day that happens, we could have a future World Champion ready to dominate.
