Who is the oldest person in WWE? This is a question that has been asked for years, and there is no definitive answer. However, we can take a look at some of the oldest wrestlers in WWE history and make an educated guess.
WWE Legends
There are a lot of WWE Legends who have graced our screens over the years. Some of them are still going strong while others have sadly passed away. But who is the oldest person in WWE?
Bruno Sammartino
Bruno Sammartino is an Italian-born American retired professional wrestler, best known for his work with the World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF).

There he gained local renown as “The Italian Shooting Star”, winning multiple amateur and professional championships. When the WWWF was established in 1963, Sammartino was one of its original stars.
In May 1972, Sammartino became the second WWWF World Heavyweight Champion after defeating Stan Stasiak at Madison Square Garden. His first reign set a record for combined days as champion at 2,803 days (beating out previous record holder Lou Thesz by almost a year), which remained unbroken until Hulk Hogan’s initial run as champion almost 11 years later. His second reign lasted 187 days and ended when people were unhappy with him wrestling an up and coming star named Muhammad Ali.
