WWE Roster Directory: June 2012

[LWPD]

This week's issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter compiled a directory on WWE's current talent roster (name, age, experience, backgrounds). It's hard to believe how much time some of the top talent has put into this. It's easy to sleep on Kane, but the big man is 45 years old, with two decades in the ring and he's still helping Vince at a support end of tonight's PPV. Big Show is 40 with 17 years ring time, a true warrior working through injuries with all that size, once again playing the heel foil at the top of tonight's card. Taker, 47 years old with 28 years ring time, and still a special attraction. These guys deserve major props in a very tough business.

[Justin Case]

quite the resume some of the talent have! Just goes to show the amount of athleticism the E actually has! A real tribute to what these talents can really do and why they last as long as they can!

[du5tin]

Amazing. Now, let's get this younger talent moving faster.

[chewey]

Wow, Cena is 35 already?

Had no idea Justin Gabriel was a former male model. Didn't Michael Cole used to call him a mix of Johnny Damon with Adam Lambert? Lol.

[chewey]

Apologies for my mobile app going crazy and quintuple posting for me. Thanks to the mod who removed all of the unnecessary posts before I had a chance to.

[Phoenix]

sheamus 34 already?
hard to believe Heyman is only 46....and Cole only 43...talk about aging badly.
