10 WWE Superstars Who Had Shockingly Long Tenures

Arriba! Tito Santana had a hall of fame career in the WWE. For those of you confused by how this happened, this is a prime example of the WWE taking quantity over quality. Tito spent his WWE career jobbing to bigger stars on pay-per-view events.

Let's start with the quality portion of his career. Tito was a key player in the Intercontinental title scene early in his career defeating Don Muraco for the strap in 1984 and trading wins with Greg Valentine for the belt in 1985. Tito also won the tag team titles with Rick Martel (as Strike Force) from the Hart Foundation before dropping them to Demolition at WrestleMania IV. Afterwards, Tito feuded with Martel (a feud ending with no proper blow off...) and in one of his rare pay-per-view wins would be a sole survivor in a jobber Survivor Series 1990 match. After winning this match he would team with Hulk Hogan and the Ultimate Warrior in a kayfabe shattering faces vs heels Survivor Series survivors match. This would be his only pay-per-view main event. In that match he was pinned by Ted Dibiase in under two minutes.

Tito spent over 13 years in the WWE. His 11 consecutive year run was spent primarily as a mid-carder as he wrestled on almost every major pay-per-view from the first WrestleMania to WrestleMania IX. He would accumulate a 2-7 record on the grandest stage of them all winning his first match against the Executioner and his last, a dark match against Papa Shango. Other than jobbing on the big stage Tito will be forever remembered, at least by this writer, for his 'El Matador' persona, a bullfighter gimmick where he would dress in brightly coloured green spandex.
