10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (Feb 3) 

10. Sami Zayn Just Passed His 15th Wrestling Anniversary

In a similar mould to guys like Daniel Bryan who came before him, the underdog character Sami Zayn plays on WWE television is steeped in reality; a stand out on the independent scene before signing with the promotion, Zayn is miles away from the cookie-cutter template once used to describe 'WWE Superstars'.

Not especially big, muscular or strikingly handsome, the former El Generico has nonetheless carved a path for himself to WWE, and that deserves recognition - not to mention serious praise.

Taking to his own Twitter account, the likeable Zayn revealed that March 2nd marked his 15th anniversary as a professional wrestler. Sami made his in-ring debut way back in 2002, first working for the International Wrestling Syndicate in his native Canada alongside names such as Kevin Owens.

The past 15 years have been an incredible journey for Zayn, and it's remarkable to think that he's been wrestling for so long when he's still only 32. Theoretically, Sami could go for another 15 years and still retire early.
