Old Aged Wrestlers
Any time I’m watching old Raw episodes, I laugh at how hard WWE buried WCW for them all being “old & washed up”.
Yeah Hogan and Flair were in their 40’s and most of the WWE roster was south of 32ish, but man how times have changed. Now almost every male wrestler on Raw and Smackdown are over that 32ish, and WWE has WAY more over 40 year old guys than WCW ever has. Hell, they are even sending out 50 year old guys all the time. Aside from one Larry Zybisko arch with Scott Hall, I cant remember them ever having anybody over 50 work. How hard is it to hire more guys like Velveteen Dream, train them for 2 years, let them be on NXT another 2-3 years, then debut them when they are still 24 or 25? That is real long term planning, not half assed Vince authority figure redux. |
