Over the years, there have been some incredible photos taken by the WWE's photographers, some of them downright iconic.

In today's article, we take a look at 10 photos you need to see of some of the biggest WWE Superstars of all time.

#10 Brock at the beach

Brock Lesnar during WWE's SummerSlam 2003 ad shoot

RIP AEW Rampage

This photo was taken during WWE's ad shoot for the SummerSlam 2003 commercial. A clean-cut younger Brock can be seen in this photo with a giant fake shark on his shoulders. It's safe to say that you haven't really seen Brock Lesnar till you see him ready to F5 a giant shark on the beach.

#9 Bodybuilder Cena

Something that many younger WWE fans may not be aware of is that there was a John Cena before John Cena if you know what I mean.

This photo was taken during Cena's brief career as a bodybuilder. A young Cena would later enter pro wrestling and sign with the WWE. During his time in developmental, Cena briefly had a bizarre character of "The Prototype", a sort of Terminator adjacent gimmick.

Stephanie McMahon later heard Cena rapping on a bus after his main roster debut as a clean-cut youngster and Cena moved onto his Doctor of Thuganomics character.

#8 Two legends

Mean Gene Okerlund and 16-time world champion can be seen pictured together backstage on RAW's 25th anniversary. Okerlund and Flair worked together in both WWE and WCW.

#7 Evolution reunited

It can be safely said that Evolution are one of the most important and influential factions in WWE history. They have 48 world titles between them.

Evolution reunited at SmackDown 1000 earlier this year and are pictured backstage here. Evolution later went out and a future Triple H vs Batista match was teased. However, with 'The Game' having surgery after getting injured at WWE Crown Jewel, we have no idea if that match will take place.

#6 A Giant at the bar

Andre The Giant is one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time and the inaugural member of the WWE Hall of Fame. An icon who transcended pro wrestling, Andre's larger than life persona was only matched by his appetite.

Andre can be seen here in a bar with no less than 6 drinks in front of him with a fan/friend actually counting as the photo was taken.

#5 The Rock and Mick Foley kick back with an N64

Before UpUpDownDown and the internet age, we had Mick Foley and The Rock chilling backstage and playing on the N64 as we can see in this photo. If only we knew what game Foley and The Rock were playing.

#4 DX as the founding fathers

In this photo, we have Triple H and Shawn Michaels dressed as the Founding Fathers for a special 4th of July photo shoot. As we can see, Triple H and HBK have the Liberty Bell in the background behind them.

#3 BSK meets DX

The Undertaker has been a locker room leader for much of his run in WWE. One thing fans may not be aware of is Taker's backstage group from back in the day call the Bone Street Krew. BSK consisted of Undertaker, Paul Bearer, Savio Vega, Henry Godwinn, The Godfather, Mideon, Brian Adams and others.

In this photo, we see members of the BSK partying with DX as well as Stone Cold and a couple of others.

#2 Leviathan

Batista signed for WWE in 2000 and was sent to OVW for development. His gimmick in developmental was that of Leviathan - a vampire demon hybrid from the sea (yeah, seriously) with fangs and even contact lenses.

Here's a promotional photo from early on in his career as Leviathan. It's safe to say that if his gimmick had debuted on the main roster as Leviathan, his career may not have gone as well as it has.

#1 Vince in the casket

In this photo from the early 90's we see Vince McMahon posing inside one of the Undertaker's caskets. The incredible backstage shot also has Paul Bearer with Vince.
