10 Wrestling Facts You Probably Already Knew Deep Down

Just like you always knew deep down that this jaw-dropping source of entertainment was a little too good to be properly true, there are certain pieces of trivia and detail that even the most clued-up wrestling fan may not have been aware they had stored in their over-flowing minds.

But upon hearing said fact or figure be uttered by another soul, that long-since buried piece of information soon reawakens from within... or something.

In other words, even some of the most seemingly outrageous wrestling revelations or statistics ever to be thrown in your direction have been somewhat foreshadowed or highlighted in plain sight.

But did that still stop fans' jaws from dropping after hearing confirmation on everything from who is actually the biggest loser in 'Mania history to how far ahead of time certain heartbreaking squashes were planned? Not it did not.

So, from unquestionably intriguing programmes that definitely could have gone down in another reality, to rather unbelievable WrestleMania facts that initially seem too bizarre to be true, these are those pieces of wrestling information that may seem surprising at first but have likely always been there in your mind... somewhere.

2016 was a whopping seven-years ago now.

Don't you feel bloody old.

But if the fact that AJ Styles has been with his current employer for a staggering seven trips around the sun isn't mind-blowing enough for you, then the reality of the one-time TNA man eventually sitting as a full-time WWE player longer than The Rock and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin were individually will likely do the trick.

With The Great One acting as a regular member of the roster from 1996-2002 before transitioning into a part-time sensation and The Texas Rattlesnake's full-time run lasting 2659 days from December 18, 1995 to March 30, 2003, Styles' seven-year spell with WWE, totalling 2655+ days and counting, will mean he ends his career with more time as a full-time WWE top star in-between the ropes than two of the greatest to ever do it.

Admittedly, though, this surprising stat has been inevitably creeping into existence from the moment the always reliable and impressive Styles extended his current deal last year.

And in all honesty, despite ranking as two of the hottest runs of all time, most recognise that Rock and Austin's time in WWE was relatively short in comparison to the average main event star working in the company today.

Roman Reigns has been a member of the main roster since 2012, don't forget.
