Stuff that makes you feel old

[Kamaras-Tash]

I saw something about Stardom on Twitter the other day, maybe from Ian off here saying they're owned/ran by some noncey type fella and sell calenders of 14 year olds or something?  I know Japan had a reputation of underage seediness from a doc I saw years ago I guess things haven't changed

I'm always dubious of the types you see at all women wrestling feds never mind ones which let underage girls wrestle, can only imagine the twitter feeds for that

I found out today that The Bushwhackers first teamed in 1966. Fucking Hell.

July marked the 25th anniversary of the moment captured during Wrestling With Shadows, Bret Hart said (feeling and sounding completely knackered) "I'm 40. Just turned 40 last week."

Watched Wrestlemania X7 again on dvd recently.

That event is 21 years old. 

I know we've just had Mania 38 but X7 still feels fresh in my head.

Everyone knows wrestling attained perfection at WrestleMania X7. Its a scientific fact.

Those old old things don't make me feel old.

What makes me feel old is realising that the Bludgeon Brothers (Harper and Rowan) reforming on Smackdown was 5 YEARS AGO. It feels like that just happened!

The grey hairs on my balls make me feel old

But on a wrestling note, it was 10 years ago this year that the SHIELD debuted! That blows my mind

Very few times in wrestling do all the stories weave together and result in TV leading into matches that come out the other end great, with the performers (including extras, managers, run ins etc) all hitting form, and even rarer does it happen when the crowd is wired AND the business is hot, but the top 5 matches at Mania 17 achieved everything you want, plus a defining moment (regardless of whether it was a good idea or what followed) of "END CHAPTER" to top it off. So...

This is subjectively true for me, and I think there's a very good case to argue that it's objectively true, although opinions, as always, will remain opinions for anything other than qualitative data, empirical evidence etc etc. If someone wants to argue that any of those matches were not blinders then they can, but they're fucking weird if they do.

.........The Simpsons episode paraphrased is now 26 years old.
