Age in big-time US wrestling ; shifting perceptions

These are the ages of Bryan Danielson and Samoa Joe right now. Can we get some "Billionaire Tone's Rasslin War Room" skits going? -
I think it's a problem in general with AEW and the timing of when they pull the trigger with someone. Hangman won the title after he, and the Kenny feud, had cooled down slightly after Page was off-screen for a while. (was that when he became a father?). Eddie was red hot with both Punk and Mox but they didn't take advantage of it. I felt they took too long to turn MJF to a genuine babyface and by the time they did he was losing the appeal anyway. The likes of Wardlow, Starks, Garcia and even Orange Cassidy have all been in a position to take a leap up the ladder only to have their momentum stalled. And while Jericho gets his, rightful, share of the blame, there's some to be laid at the feet of AEW/Tony Khan as well. (I'm not saying these should have all won world titles by the way, just that they'll find it difficult to ever get as hot as they once were previously) And now possibly with Swerve - though the job Joe is doing makes it very hard to change champion. But will Swerve ever be as hot as he was on the back of the double turn with Page?

Spike Dudley at 53 is older than both Bubba (52) and D-Von (51). Maybe I just took for granted that he must be the youngest of the Dudley family because he was the "runt". -
That really is a let down.

With Darby written off, we're now looking at a (possible) period of time without any of the Four Pillars on screen less than twelve months after the four of them main evented Double or Nothing.
