WWE superstars have went on to become iconic figures in the world of wrestling. Since they step foot into the ring their moves, styles, catchphrases and gimmicks have defined and shaped up their careers and identities as well. But we do tend to forget that they are regular human beings outside the ring and they too lead a normal life. And before becoming WWE superstars with great bodies or personality, they also were kids who grew up in the same manner that everybody does. Here we remember their younger version or for some their childhood days through a collection of rare pics. See if you can identify with the young Undertaker or John Cena.
10 WWE superstars when they were young
1. The Undertaker
The Undertaker made his debut in 1990 and went on to become one of the most iconic figures in sports entertainment. He has won 21 straight Wrestlemanias in a trot which is regarded as a colossal record in the WWE. In the ring, there are few who could outclass his legacy. Known as Mark Callaway in real life, he is married to former WWE Diva Michelle McCool. He is one of the longest tenured employees in the WWE and is regarded as the greatest of all time by many.
2. Chris Jericho
Chris Jericho aka Y2J is certainly one of the most entertaining and dominant superstars of WWE. The Canadian wrestler has been there and done it all. He has won multiple WWE and World Heavyweight championships and has also held the Intercontinental titles a record number of times.
3. Sheamus
The Celtic Warrior is currently one of the top stars of the industry. He has held the Intercontinental championship, the World Heavyweight championship and is currently the United States champion. Hailing from Dublin, Ireland, his real name is Stephen Farrelly and just like his hot-headed character on-screen, the little version of him does look to be in a mood to fight.
4. Lita
Lita is one of the most talented and greatest Diva ever WWE has produced. One of the all time greatest diva and an absolute entertaining superstar.
5. Jeff Hardy
Jeff Hardy the high flying superstar was a delight to watch as he would always bring out a risky move out of the blue and give his 100% to entertain the fans every night. He has been part of some memorable matches in the past especially the extreme ones involving, ladders, chairs and tables.
6. CM Punk
CM Punk had a punkish hairstyle when in high school. The Straight Edge superstar held the WWE title for a record 434 days. That is until he decided to walk away from WWE. Even after months since he departed, Punk has shown no signs to return. He was recently removed from the WWE site. But that doesn’t stop us from believing that we will return sometime in the near future.
7. Shawn Michaels
Shawn Michaels is arguably one of the greatest in-ring performers of all-time. He elevated to new heights during his rivalry with Bret Hart. Michaels has been a part of some of the greatest Wrestlemania matches. He has earned the nickname of Mr. Wrestlemania for his incredible outings on the grandest stage of all.
8. Rey Mysterio
Rey Mysterio aka Oscar Gutierrez dazzled the wrestling universe since his arrival in 2002 in WWE. The high-flying luchador is a former Intercontinental champion and most significantly the greatest underdog World Heavyweight Champion of all-time.
9. The Rock
Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock was one of the two faces of the Attitude Era. Outspoken on the microphone, dominant on the ring and an attitude that could mould millions, The Rock was one of the pillars alongside Stone Cold Steve Austin who laid the foundation for modern day wrestling. And a graduation day Rocky just seems like the guy who had the attitude even before stepping into the WWE.
10. John Cena
Arguably, like it or not, he is the biggest superstar that has emerged since the death of Attitude Era. John Cena has carried the business on his shoulders single-handedly and he still does quite frankly he is still the face of the WWE. He is record 15-time WWE World champion and has been the defining figure of the PG era.
