This whole love for geriatric stars and nostalgia is one of the weirdest things about wrestling fans. I do not get it, not one bit.

It's the worst part about wrestling being scripted. In real sports, these guys are weeded out whether they like it or not. But in wrestling, we can cart some barely mobile guy out there, and as long as he still wears the undertaker costume, we love it.

I don't understand the nostalgia either. There's nothing to be nostalgic about. They are clearly NOT the same guys we watched 10 years ago. It's like seeing some really shytty cover band of your favourite bad. Or those dudes that dressed like the Shield that has gotten posted here and laughed at? These 4 are basically that version of their former selves now. Well, HHH is still decent aside from getting injured.

That's always been a thing in wrestling though. Every era has their cast of guys that retired a decade ago or should have coming back to pop a big house.
