Who has gotten better with age?

Venis was a fairly exciting, solid worker from 1998 to around 2001. Nothing he has really done since then has been impressive... even if he has improved from a "technical" perspective (which isn't hard to do, in theory you should improve from a "technical" standpoint each and every time you wrestle a match and learn a little something new, no matter how tenured you are). In fact, how could you possibly tell he has improved when all he ever does is get squashed in rapid fashion?

At what point in the last 4 years have you watched a Val Venis match and honestly thought "wow, this guy has improved so much" as he stares at the lights for another midcarder? I'm not saying that he hasn't, he may well have, but how could you possibly tell?
