5 Yesteryear WWE Superstars who look very different now

It's hard to believe that the Attitude Era in WWE was now more than two decades ago. This means that many of the stars who played a prominent role in what is considered to be the most successful time in WWE have now changed significantly.

While there are a handful of stars, including Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels, and Triple H, who have remained on WWE TV over the past few years and have aged in front of our eyes, there are others who have left the business completely.

These stars have failed to return to WWE since their exit and are now somewhat unrecognizable when compared to the star that they were.

#5. Former WWE Hardcore Champion Spike Dudley

Spike Dudley has definitely changed over the past few years

Spike Dudley was seen as the smallest and perhaps bravest member of The Dudley Boyz and would regularly take some of the biggest risks as part of their matches.

As a former eight-time Hardcore Champion, Dudley helped define the Championship in the early years of the title, and regularly thrived in TLC matches. He made his last appearance for WWE at ECW One Night Stand back in 2005 and after a few short stints in IMPACT Wrestling, Dudley seemingly left the wrestling business in 2015.

While D-Von and Bubba Ray returned without their brother back in 2016 in pursuit of the WWE Tag Team Championships, Spike has gone on to become a financial transition specialist with Merrill Edge. Dudley has settled down and now has a son and a daughter with his wife, Vikki.

After being away from WWE for more than a decade, it's not much of a surprise that Spike now looks a lot different than how he used to during his Dudley Boyz days.

#4. Former WWE Women's Champion Sable

Sable has definitely changed over the years

Sable is arguably one of the women who put female wrestling on the map in the late 1990s and is seen as one of the first-ever WWE Divas. Sable came into the company through her husband, Marc Mero, but soon outgrew the role of his valet and went on to become one of the most popular women in the company.

Sable posed for Playboy twice and went on to win the Women's Championship during her stint with WWE, before walking away from the company in 1999. Sable went on to sue WWE after her departure and filed a $110 million lawsuit before she was able to fix her relationship with the WWE Chairman and make her return in 2003.

It was during her second stint with the company that Sable met Brock Lesnar and when she departed the company in 2004, it was to focus on her family. Lesnar and Sable married in 2006 and welcomed two sons in 2009 and 2010.

Sable hasn't returned to the company since 2004 but has been spotted with Lesnar, where it was apparent that the former Women's Champion has changed a lot over the past decade and a half.

#3. Former WWE Superstar Gene Snitsky

Snitsky played a strange role in WWE TV throughout his time in the company, where he was involved in a few controversial storylines. Despite last wrestling in 2016, he's still in fantastic shape and could easily make his return if he wanted to.

Snitsky is now 50-years-old and looks better than he once did in his prime. The star who debuted in WWE back in 2004 went on to be part of a storyline with Kane and adopt the "It wasn't my fault" catchphrase.

Snitsky later went through a complete character change in 2007 and became a psychotic madman with a grotesque appearance where he would go on to wreak havoc in ECW. The following year, he was drafted back to RAW and competed in several high profile matches against the likes of John Cena and Randy Orton, before requesting his release from WWE.

Snitsky has gone on to make a number of movies, two of which will release this year. The former WWE star has got himself into fantastic shape while being part of these movies.

#2. WWE's first Diva Sunny

Sunny was seen as "the girl next door" throughout her time in WWE. She had a character that allowed her to become popular with the WWE Universe while she was also a decent manager.

Sunny was so popular that in 1996 she was named as the most downloadable celebrity on the internet. The star was released from the company back in 1998 after rumors of issues with fellow star Sable surfaced. The fact that she had no-showed a number of events certainly didn't help her case.

Since her release, Sunny has appeared in ECW, WCW, and makes regular appearances on the Independent Circuit, but the star doesn't look like the same "girl next door" character that she once was.

It has been more than two decades since Sunny was part of WWE, so it's obvious that she would have changed her appearance, but not so drastically.

Sunny has been making headlines in recent years for all of the wrong reasons and images of the former star that have surfaced show that she has changed her appearance dramatically.

#1. Former WWE US Champion Orlando Jordan

Orlando Jordan looks like a different person

Orlando Jordan is perhaps best remembered as a former United States Champion and his run in the Cabinet alongside JBL. Jordan was one of the stars in the company at the time that was wasted, given the amount of talent that WWE was harboring.

In his early years, Jordan actually stepped up to Brock Lesnar, but was quickly defeated. In that match, he showed glimpses of greatness, but this was never truly pushed in WWE.

Jordan left the company in 2006 after he was handed his release and went on to have a stint in IMPACT Wrestling between 2010 and 2011.

Since then, Jordan has appeared now and then in the indies but has largely focused on wrestling school called WildKat Sports & Entertainment, which he co-owns alongside fellow star Luke Hawx. The following year, they opened a second school in Melbourne. Jordan has since married and welcomed his first daughter, but the star rarely wrestles anymore, and looking at his Instagram page, it's hard to believe that he's the same star that once shone in WWE.
