RedRooster Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 For me it’s that the Pipe Bomb was eight years ago. That’s a clear memory from when I was an adult that was EIGHT FUCKING YEARS AGO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingofSports Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Vague memories of watching Adrian Street tagging with Bobby Barnes as The Hell's Angels & even vaguer memories of Ricki Starr. On a non-wrestling note, I can remember when seeing real Hells Angels wasn't that unusual, as well as occasional groups of Hare Krishna peeps. Clinically, I should be dead by now. Perhaps I am.

simonworden Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 I feel old when I realise we're not far off having people on the WWE roster who were born after WCW/ECW closed but that many on the current rosters have to be too young to remember them. When I think about that I do wonder what wrestling got them into the business. Someone like Tyler Bate must have grown up watching 2002 onwards in the same way many of us watched the 80s/ 90s. I do have to wonder what it was like watching those years without reading what people said on the internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BomberPat Posted December 6, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted December 6, 2019 We've had kids come to training at 16-18, and they talk about the Monday Night Wars/Attitude Era as if it was some mythical golden age that they could only dream to have lived through. They've grown up on nothing but the WWE version of events around it, and it really does make you feel old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members JNLister Posted December 6, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted December 6, 2019 AEW's doing a "veteran claims rookie can't last 10 minutes with him" angle, which reminded me of the almost identical Ted Dibiase-Dustin Rhodes deal in WWF. Which I then realised was 29 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe MJF is that cheap material that they make shelves and cabinets out of on DIY SOS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael_3165 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Just the idea that Hart/Michaels Survivor Series screw job happened 21 years ago is insane. Also the fact Austin retired 16 years ago is also madness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WyattSheepMask Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Just watching Wrestling these days makes me feel old, coupled with how little WWE has changed pretty much since the end of the Attitude era/Monday Night War. @IANdrewDiceClay Posted a Bret Hart promo on twitter earlier today from the night after WM13 in which Bret mentioned about facing Shawn Michaels “last year”, but everything had changed so much in the space of 12 months it might as well have been 10 years. Brock’s been back 7 and a half years, and nothing seems to have changed in that time. In the same timeframe the other way of his return, he’d left his initial WWE run, had a failed attempt at playing in the NFL, a run in New Japan, became the UFC Champion, nearly died, returned to the UFC unifying the Heavyweight titles before heading back. Fandango has been around nearly 7 years too, that’s nearly as long as Steve Austin’s entire WWE run and the entire existence of ECW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The name change from WWWF to WWF was in 1979 so this won't be true until 2025. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austin started in 1989 and finished in 2003 meaning he had a 14 year career. He's now been retired 16 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
