10 WWE Superstars who started their pro-wrestling career late 

#3 Diamond Dallas Page - 35

From winning the WCW World Heavyweight Championship to being reduced to the role of a stalker in WWE, DDP had quite the fall from grace once WCW folded. Page was considered to be one of the better workers in WCW and was only the fourth WCW Triple Crown Champion in the promotion’s history.

While DDP left WWE as a result of multiple injuries, he competed in TNA/Impact Wrestling between 2004-05. Page’s start in the business was rather interesting; he ran a nightclub in Florida and started managing the likes of Pat Tanaka and Curt Hennig, and later managed The Fabulous Freebirds after signing with WCW in ’91.

It was at that time that DDP started going to the WCW Power Plant, where he learnt the nuances of the business. He began his in-ring career at the age of 35 while continuing to improve his in-ring skills and developing his character. He was released in ’92 after DDP suffered a torn rotator cuff but returned to the company in ’94.
