10 WWE Superstars Who Had Shockingly Long Tenures

Paul Roma wrestled professionally for 11 years. Almost all of that time was spent in the WWE and WCW. While in WCW Roma would go on to have some success, his seven year WWE career was almost a complete throwaway.

Debuting in 1984 Paul Roma was used as enhancement talent for the first three years of his career. In 1987 Roma formed a team with Jim Powers as 'The Young Stallions'. They peaked winning the initial star studded Survivor Series tag team match in 1987 and wrestling The Islanders in the main event (seriously, the main event) of the Royal Rumble 1988. Sadly, after splitting the team in 1989 Roma was back to being singles enhancement talent. The WWE would give Roma one last crack at making it by putting him in a tag team with more established star Hercules, as the glory in 'Power and Glory'. They started off hot defeating the Rockers at SummerSlam 1990 but by the time WrestleMania VII came around they were getting destroyed by the Legion of Doom in a matter of minutes. Shortly thereafter Roma ended his run in the WWE, jumping ship to WCW in 1991.

Roma went on to have some success in WCW as everyone's favourite member of the Four Horseman and part of tag team "Pretty Wonderful" before flaming out in 1995 after refusing to make Alex Wright look good during a match at SuperBrawl V. For someone who wrestled in the WWE for seven years, Roma participated in just a handful of pay-per-views and won exactly zero titles. The fact he managed to last seven years in the WWE is a bit of a miracle as in less forgiving times, like today's PG era, Roma would likely have had a much shorter run.
