:huhldup: The Average Age Of Both RAW and SD's Teams Is 40, Where Are The Young Stars?

[NoMorePie]

This could set up a nice heel run for Jason Jordan though

The young people are working the night before

 

[MenacingMonk]

Now TSC bytching about not having young stars?

 

[Vinny Lupton]

How old is Bigdawg Reigns?

 

[Ill Lou Malnati]

Age itself isn't necessarily the problem, but 5 out of 10 guys are tired, stale acts who have been in the main event scene for the last 15-20 years. 1 of those 5 guys is a part-timer, 2 of those 5 guys are semi-retired, and another 1 out of that 5 isn't a career wrestler. This is what WCW used to get made fun of for. Now it's WWE that is the home of the dinosaurs.

But this is the same company that was cracking jokes about Hogan, Savage, and Mean Gene's age every week.



Still to this day in their little Monday Night Wars documentaries they always crack jokes about WCW's roster being older.

And as soon as he got his hands on them wcw dudes
...in 2002 and 2003 he pushed them again. Dumb

 

[Jesus H. Christ]

The young talent is there it's just that creative sucks. I'll give props to smackdown for trying with Jinder and Corbin. Still tho the way they handled Seth and KO

If you start wrestling at 18 it will take probably a good 3-4 to get good. So by then you are 22. Then you start making the rounds in the indies. That can take at LEAST a few years to get noticed. So now you are 25-26. Maybe you get signed by NXT at that point. But you'd be very lucky. Probably won't be up on the main roster for a few years. Then it'll take time to reach the main event scene.

So yeah most wrestlers reach their peak around 29-30 probably.

So you think wrestling turning into a near monopoly post-2001 has pushed a lot of guys careers back in terms of popularity and national exposure?

Joe, Roode, and AJ were in TNA during it's peak in popularity and you'd think they're new to some even on wrestling forums.

The wrestling business been this way for a minute fam Most guys don't really break out until after age 30 anyway

Maybe it's not a fair comparison but outside of Tamina and Asuka all the other women in the Women's match are younger than Bray.

 

[DamienWayne]

Orton cena and lesnar were rare looking back its crazy to think they were in there early twenties at their prime

 

[DANJ!]

taking him out was the stupidest shyt they could have done, and for HHH how much do they think cena and hunter are gonna affect the buys for suvivor series. instead of doing the smart thing and letting Jordan and someone like woods, E, or dillienger get the rub for being in a high profile match. they took the easy way out

Why is everything always about getting a rub or even worse, giving a rub to people who don't even warrant it to begin with? Throwing Jason Jordan or Dillinger in this match ain't the smart thing to do cause either way, they'd be gettin' bumped out early. Like homie said, wrestling isn't like basketball or football where being younger is always the advantageous thing. Half of this match are older stars who have been around for a long time, but they're also experienced main eventers. The others aren't necessarily 'young' but they're also all experienced main event performers (Braun being the exception, but he's over like a MF). Why would swapping one of them out for someone as inexperienced and unover as Jason Jordan be 'the smart thing'?
