10 WWE Superstars who started their pro-wrestling career late 

#2 Batista - 31

The former WWE Champion was destined for greatness, ever since Triple H took him under his wing. Under the tutelage of ‘The King of Kings’ and The Nature Boy, Batista understood what the business was all about, and how to climb the ranks quickly in WWE. After all, there were multiple other Superstars who had started ahead of him.

Batista, similar to Diamond Dallas Page, wanted to learn the tricks of the trade at the WCW Power Plant. However, his request was turned down, after being told he would never make it in the business. Batista then signed with WWE and was sent to OVW to polish his skills at the age of 31.

It took ‘The Animal’ three years to make any notable inroads before Triple H handpicked him to be a part of his Evolution stable. Two years later, Batista found himself main eventing WrestleMania for the World Heavyweight Championship!

Not too shabby for someone who was told he could never cut it as a wrestler.
