After the Mania match vs HBK, he threw selling/psychology to the bushes for a mouthpiece and spanming German suplexes and uppercut forearms

Physically I'd say around 2010 when his arms and legs were both noticeably atrophied, and each year after that he'd slow down more and more and arms/legs would get smaller until 2015 when he started moving like late stage Giant Baba and stopped thinking he could do a full schedule.

Towards the very end years of his TNA run. I think i remember watching an ep in 2014/2015 and looking at him like

He started getting skinner around like 2010ish probably but could still deliver in the ring. Idk when that went

Its funny cause that Superman cartoon had me thinking Lex was black, and when my dad saw me watching Kurt vs Brock at mania he thought Kurt was a light skinned black man

I was watching TNA pretty regularly during his run. This is spot on. He could still go really well up until around 13’, but 10’ is definitely when I noticed the start of the decline.
