2. Tony Chimel
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIc7tHukb8I WWE Tenure: 30+ years When you think of longtime WWE employees, Tony Chimel probably isn't one of the first people that you think of. But he's been there longer than just about anyone. Chimel started with the company WWF in 1983, when he was employed as a ring technician. It wasn't until eight years later that he started announcing. Not many people would have stuck with it that long. Chimel has pretty much done it all during his WWE tenure. His Twitter page proudly displays that he has been a production manager, timekeeper, truck driver, worked as security, a referee and more. He's had to to a lot of grunt work in his career, as it wasn't until 1999 that he really starting announcing full-time with the launch of SmackDown. To earn this right, he had to defeat Howard Finkel in a tuxedo match and strip him down to his underwear. Again, most people probably wouldn't have bothered. But Chimel did, and he's still announcing these days, albeit on WWE Main Event.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at."
Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week.
