After first seeing AJ after getting an AJ Styles and Abyss toy in 2006 with a DVD that had their six sided cage match on it I'm glad the man is making some money to help retirement.

He's the result of pushing 20 year olds, which is why I'm not sure how this whole talking point started.

Smarks don't like anyone being in the main event scene for a decade yet they are so concerned about the "FUTURE" 15 years form now. Wierdos.

Are they going to do anything with mitb?

35 Year old Drew is alot better than 25 year old Drew was. This goes for most of the guys in the match.

Exception being Jeff because of all the shit he's done to his body.

Who gives a fuck about age? This isn't like the 90s and earlier where people were established in their mid 20s. Ric Flair was at his best in the late 80s when he was in his 40s.

You never watched them. You always have been a pro wrestling loser. Go watch AEW faggot.
>>
>>12931350
I haven't watched wrestling since wuhanic shingles blew out everyone's brains. Live crowds or nothing thank you.
>>
>>12931261
I haven't been watching for the past 20 years, though, wo unless you're saying specifically WWE ages people terribly, I don't see what you're getting at.
>>
>>12931264
I can't think of any wrestlers who have been in one promotion for 20 years and not felt stale. You should get 5 years out of a wrestler before they go part time or retire from in-ring. Look at Rock.
>>
>>12931264
It’s because he’s been the same character for all 20 years. You’ve gotta change things up like Jericho or Matt hardy. Even Triple Paul made a decent effort at it.
>>
>>12931864
Well back in the day there was this magical thing of other successful promotions to send people too.
>>
>>12931156
Sheamus is 43? How the fuck is he aging so good
>>
Orton is literally Hogan entering his prime
>>
>>12931971
Probably takes care of himself.
>>
>>12931917
Look at all those dull motherfuckers in like miz, orton, sheanus, and ziggler. Haven’t changed a single thing since at least 2010. No one in wwe cares anymore.
>>
>>12932000
Wonder if anyone would care about a younger wrestler appearing and attempts to be 'Legend Killer 2.0' and decides ole Randy is over the hill.
>>
>>12931986
Normal humans: why is orton winning the rumble in current year 2016, nobody wants to see this anymore
Edrones: he’s entering his prime, five years later
>>
>>12932037
Who would you have booked to win in 2016
>>
>>12932055
I don’t remember any details of that year, but looking at the match roster in Wikipedia: Harper wins, gets pushed, does a different variation of the story they did irl, and challenges Wyatt

Drew being eliminated first, styles looking like he’s going to win, only for miz to steal it in a dirty win, and Morrison cashes in the mitb briefcase for the win. Screen cap this.

Asking "who would you book to win in PG era WWE" is like asking "how should this week one foreign language learner who just learned how to say 'hello' fix his foreign accent". There are loads of things that need to change before you should start even thinking about that question.

This age meme is retarded. No shit modern wrestlers have longer careers, they aren't popping pills and getting into car accidents every month.

Unironically, their physical age isn’t really the problem. The problem is that it feels like we’ve been watching most of these guys for a thousand fucking years.
>>
>>12934031
Shit, that’s pretty good.
>>
>>12931917
Jericho took breaks too and he had times where he was stale as fuck
>>
i feel like every WWE main event just keeps involving the same few guys over and over ad nauseum
>>
>>12934147
Who in your opinion should be in the main event then
>>
I'm concerned less with their age and more with the fact that none of them besides Drew or AJ are any good.
>>
>>12934151
whoever you hate
>>
>>12934194
I haven't watched a full episode of RAW or SMACKDOWN for years. Outside of these people I've no idea whose who. Hell when I was at my cousin's last week I asked him who the hell that was behind Roman Reigns and he said it was one of the Usos. Literally didn't recognize him
>>
>>12934194
Everyone over 40 needs to get exiled to Main Event and the India show. Drew can stay champ but add Keith lee and fire whoever writes for Wyatt and strowman. Seth and Roman are title contenders but always lose. Put Murphy, Ali, and Matt Riddle in wwe title matches where they lose but start winning in two years. There, I’ve fixed the entire fucking company. It’s not rocket science you just can’t have a 75 year old brain made of cocaine and wet crayons.
>>
>>12934336
And for the love of fuck fix ricochet, bring back aleister and Andrade and push them into orbit
>>
>>12934361
They’ve been so ruined I forgot they existed

>Randy, Hardy and Sheamus aren't good
>Drew's better than Randy
Lmao.
>>
>>12934374
Yes.
>>
Its not so much an issue of age, but staleness.
AJ Styles is the only person in that match who hasn't wrestled for WWE for at least 10 years and even AJ has been with WWE for 5 years and has been a heavyweight champion there for a full year.
>>
>>12931233
Alvarez makes a good point about this in Death of WCW. It' isn't their physical age (unless you start cracking 50+) the problem is their TV age, the longer they're on TV with no changes, reinvention or time away the more stale they become. Nobody has more of an obvious problem with this than Sheamus and Orton
>>
>>12931218
He’s just DAMN good
>>
>>12934678
Read the book, can confirm

>>12931233
yeah just look at how good Edge is compared to him in 2002 or Styles compared to him in just 2015

It's funny because didn't Sheamus attempt to "re-invent" himself just this past year and he's...still the same?
>>
>>12931233
Because what the fuck are you gonna do in 10 years when these guys are in their 50s and the next generation seems to pale in comparison because you didn't push them when they were new and fresh.
Hulk Hogan and Roddy Piper was 32 & 31 when they main evented the first WrestleMania. Today you can't even main event a B-tier PPV unless you are 35.

It’s Meltzercope and they’re just parroting it like they always do. He was desperately scrambling for a ‘WWE bad’ angle after the Royal Rumble and age was the best thing he could come up with. Now redditors are blindly repeating it because they’re incapable of independent thought.
>>
>>12932030
Any gimmick that relies on youth going over would be doomed to failure in 2020s WWE
>>
>>12931156
Drew has beat everyone there lately, except Seamus.

Is it time for /AreFella/ to get the strap again?

>>12935282

>>12935201
This is a fair point. Zoomers are undeniably a fucking disaster.
>>
>>12935293
>He doesn't need to try that hard
Well he does, clearly. Because the best he had was ‘umm... ahh... yeah... erm... so the umm... guys in the... uh... Rumble were like... erm... old. But... erm... AEW good’. Then idiots like you lap it up and repeat it verbatim like you’re a sports analyst.

Who in AEW is 35+ and being portrayed as the future?

Moxley, Omega, Cody, Archer, etc are being portrayed as veterans at their peak. Guys like Kingston are being portrayed as even a little past their prime.

Did Miz have to use his briefcase to get in this match?

They literally can't. They only reason they could back in the 90s was because WCW existed. If you stand up to him and he doesn't already like he has no problem firing you, burying you, or sticking you in catering.
>>
>>12935783
>I stopped watching WWE in 2018 and I can't imagine much has changed since with those guys since then
You'll never guess what the three most dangerous letters in sports entertainment still are
>>
>>12931233
Because people don't want to see the exact same guys having the exact same matches with the exact same opponents for 10+ years?
>>
>>12937383
WCW couldn't even keep it going for 6 with guys who have way, way more starpower than anybody on RAW or Smackdown in 2021
>>
Speaking of WCW...the WWF buried Piper vs. Hogan @ Halloween Havoc 1997 as "Age in a Cage"

Piper was 43.
>>
>>12931218
Wins and loses dont matter in WWE. They're literally booking what they think might draw without any foresight.

Also does Roman not have to do a Chamber match?
>>
>>12935290
Nah they’re going to take the belt off Drew and put it on Randy so then they can do Randy vs Edge at the belt for Mania
>>
Drew's powerlevel is through the roof and Miz is obviously cashing at mania or the Raw after.

After Drew wins this, who's even booked in a good enough spot to beat him? Edge is facing Reigns
>>
>>12934678
Sheamus at least was in tag teams for a while and then took an extended break, so he feels somewhat fresh, though is character before and after The Bar is the exact same which makes no sense.
Orton on the other hand has been doing the same thing since he dropped the legend killer gimmick, with varying degrees in how deranged he is. It's absolutely tiresome as hell.

>>12938352
Brock, or they'll push someone to the moon.
