With logic like that, Turner, McMahon, and every movie studio could just burn their film collections and save themselves tons on storage and management, since there'd be no sense in enjoying a movie if all the actors in it are dead.
Also, your comment about a wrestler not being good anymore because of his age is shit. People said the same thing about Jannetty, Stan Lane, and plenty of other wrestlers who are still active - and then were silenced when they've actually seen them. Are there crappy guys out there who are 'up in age'? Duh. Dusty Rhodes, Kevin Sullivan, and several others come to mind. However, for every bad one, there are two good ones.
I didn't have anything negative at all to say about posting topics on Sid or Andre or anyone else. I like the discussion of old stories and whatnot, even after I've heard them 1,000 times. It's still discussion. What I think is funny however, is how you claim everyone here is a loser, yet you are making a sad attempt at amusing yourself by trying to get people on an online forum pissed at you. That's great.

Ha, that's funny because I was just watching Poltergeist and the sequels just the other day. Awesome movie, and yeah those sequels did suck. Funny because when I was a kid, all three scared me. But I watched the sequels for the first time in a long time and I can't believe they used to freak me out.
But come on, movies and history and old-school wrestling are all very different worlds. It's not easy gaining access to old-school wrestling videos. And the ones I can gain access to [i.e. ones of the Flair DVD], yes I do watch.
And FYI: Marty Jannetty was around during my time, I already said I am down with 80's wrestlers and wrestling. Hell, I was a huge mark for the Rockers as a kid.
And I had no doubt he could still wrestle because I've seen him on the Indy scene. Really, he wrestles better then a lot of the guys today. He should still be there in my view. He deserves a contract.
When I said some wrestlers cannot still wrestle because of their age I meant the really old-school fellas from the 70's like Harley Race and Chief Jay Strongbone or even more old-school, the late, Stu Hart. [I know Harley had a run in the WWF as "The King" but come on, not many people recall that and it's not like he was in his prime at the time] You really think those guys could still wrestle as well as they did in their hay day? Forget about it. So what is the point of trying to find their matches and become fans of wrestlers that are either no longer with us or retired? And even if they were still active or alive, I highly doubt they could still wrestle as well as they once did. People like Terry Funk and Ric Flair are very rare human beings that can still wrestle good. And if someone comes up to me and asks me who my favorite wrestler is, am I supposed to say Harley Race? I mean, what is this? 1975?
Seriously, just because I have not watched wrestling from the begining of time doesn't mean I don't know my stuff. Ask me anything WWF related from the 1980's and beyond, and I will talk all night about it if you want.
