20 WWE Superstars And Their 80s Counterparts

Falling into massive stereotypical territory here, it would be remiss of me not to lumber The Iron Sheik and Rusev together.

After all, these are two brutish superstars who have been used as threats to main event babyfaces, who have been perceived as pesky flag-waving foreign menaces against the good ol’ US of A, and who both class the Camel Clutch as their finishing manoeuvre of choice.

Whereas Sheik was at one point the then-WWF World Champion, Rusev’s main event ascension was left massively dented after multiple losses to John Cena earlier this year. Whether the Bulgarian Brute can get back on track remains to be seen, although steering clear of horrible storylines involving Lana clones, dead fish and Dog Ziggler would likely be a good start.
