Some of whom are long-retired or barely active. So what's your point?

[CTXRussomark]

I'm not sure the point you're trying to make really stands up. Of the names I've actually heard of most of them aren't still wrestling anymore. 

[Devon Malcolm]

[The Cutting Edge]

One guy as mentioned died in 2013.

Not sure on Japanese names, buy Dustin Rhodes is the only name I think wrestling in a big company regularly.

Funk was kinda the first generation of sorts the be an old guy wrestling, most finished up in there 40s due to injuries and wear n tear.

 

 

[WyattSheepMask]

So what you’ve basically done is found a list of wrestling related names who were born in 1969

[BrodyGraham]

Yeah, I must have missed all those ladder and death matches that Mauro fucking Ranallo had in the last year......

[The Cutting Edge]

Another look at the list, Droz has been paralyzed since 99, these names are so random

Weirdly Funk looked about 90 in the 80s. He certainly didn't age well. I saw him years ago in the UK and he looked like a grandad that needed a mobility scooter. Bless him, he really did stick around too long. What a fantastic wrestler though. Don't make em like that anymore.. 

 

I'm wondering what point the OP was making but I appreciate the intention. Was it that he looked much older in 1997 than a alot of those guys do now?

FUn FACT: We are now further away from Flair's first WWF title reign than it is from the building of the Pyramids

[TheBurningRed]

The aging process. 

Wow. My mind is BLOWN

[HeavyT]

A bunch of old duffers. Cool story bruh.

The likes of batista doesnt really compare when he started late and is.done already

[simonworden]

Love to see Dustin go a bit more funk with less death match though
