This year Elimination Chamber match:>Drew McIntyre35>A.J. Styles43>Jeff Hardy43>Randy Orton40>Sheamus43>The Miz40
>>12941361That does actually open up the rest of the card for other guys, but yeah, the title scene really hasn't changed in years.
More like geriatric chamber
Someone post the WCW match that WWE made fun of for the exact same ages.
>WWE waits until wrestlers are actually good before they start featuring them prominently>this is somehow a bad thing
>>12941361>Kitty Omeowga 134 (in cat years)
>>12941361The ages literally don’t matter. Talent does. And a lot of the new guys are just not ready for the main event.
>>12941361>Drew McIntyreIn WWE for 7 years, away 3 years, back 4 years>A.J StylesIn WWE for 5 years>Jeff HardyIn WWE for 5 years, away 3 years, back 3 years, away 7 years, back 4 years>Randy OrtonIn WWE for 19 years>SheamusIn WWE for 12 years>The MizIn WWE for 15 yearsIt's not the physical age, it's the TV age.
>>12941361Name anyone on the WWE roster currently in their 20's that's actually worth a shit.
>>12941361I'd rather not see twink McIntyre and fedora Miz ever again, tyvmAs for others - yeah, they're past their prime
>>12941462Sounds like wwe is at fault for failing to recognize and elevate young talent
>>12941449>implying people don't get hood until they're about to retireVince literally used to make fun of WCW for this
>>12941361>>12941422>>12941430>>12941438>>12941459>>12941472Daniel Bryan lost the royal rumble again and he will never be able to be in it again. Cry more about it faggots
>>12941508Rent free
>>12941507Maybe Vince hasn’t had any power since 2005 and HHH and Stephanie are the ones really controlling the company from behind the scenes, you ever thought about that?
>>12941459The tv age us still way yo high even by that logic. Where are the new stars being elevated
>>12941459This. All of those wrestlers are stale, there is nothing exciting about either one of them.
>>12941516No because they're not. Ut Vinces company and it will be until he dies
>>12941520Exactly what I'm saying, people try to wrap around and argue physical age. It's irrelevant. A 30 year old would be cold if he was in the company for 10 straight years. I don't know how you fix it with the current WWE system though.
>>12941508Daniel Bryan is 39
>>12941472Name someone on the WWE roster currently in their 20's that would otherwise be stars if not for WWE's bad booking.
>>12941537Elevate some new stars. You know guys wasting away in NXT. Pete Dunne, Kyle OReily, Adam Cole, etc
>>12941542No one is allowed onto the main roster anymore until they hit their 30s. Again this us WWEs problem. In the Attitude era the card was full of stars in thier 20s
>>12941515Nah I know what this is about.>>12941531Not a rebuttal>>12941539Yeah and they wanted him to win and if he did they wouldn’t bitch about the age shit.
>>12941557All garbage talent
>>12941573>Nah I know what this is about.Based Schizo
>>12941557It's the same problem WCW had towards the end though, you think Orton is going to be happy giving up a well paying spot to Dunne so he can go work for a hotdog? There have to be a sufficient number of big promotions to facilitate rotating stars around to different promotions. Not every guy can transition into hollywood either.
>>12941573>not a rebuttalYou didn't even make a point to begin with with. You just threw out a baseless accusation that Triple H and Stephanie are somehow secretly controlling WWE without any evidence. That's qanon level shit.
>>12941582>schizoCringe epithet
>>12941580If wwe can't make a star out of Adam Cole then they are truly beyond repair
>>12941597I mean look at it, Stephanie loves pushing agendas, and that’s what the WWE is doing now, and HHH loves long matches with indie vanilla midgets, and that’s what’s clogging WWE now.
>>12941583When Vince was a good booker he just cycled people down and didn't let them decide who was going to control the main event scene. Hes the boss after all. Do what New Japan does. Put your older legens into mid card spots putting over the next generation
>>12941610>wanting a skinny midget to be a starYeah you must think we are idiots huh.
Daddy Meltzer starts bringing up age as a talking point then all these threads start popping up. The true cult is the Meltzer cult.
>>12941616There's still literally no facts or evidence here just headcanon
>>12941361All of them are ina great physical condition, why do you give a shit?Even Jeff is still doing swantons and is in a better condition than his brother, despite being a crash test dummy his whole career
>>12941634WWE failing to make new stars had been a taking point for years
>>12941628You know in the 90s Bret Hart and Shawn Michael's would have been called skinny midgets by /asp/.What do you want. 40 year old men cycling through the same matches we've been watching for 15 years? Who the fuck cares about seeing Edge and Randy Orton again?
>>12941638>it’s headcanon that WWE is pushing agendas>it’s headcanon that indie darlings are clogging up the rosterWhen’s the last time you watched WWE?
>>12941648Because they're all gonna be retiring before long and there's no one to replace them
>>12941658>You know in the 90s Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels would have been called skinny midgets by /asp/Yeah and WWF was in the shitter when these 2 main evented, getting assfucked by WCW.
>>12941659It's headcanon that Triple H is in charge. Literally no evidence
>>12941472Tell 'em Sis! Tony has an eye for young talent!
>>12941571Who? Who was in their 20's during the Attitude Era besides The Rock?
>>12941674Why do we see all these indie darlings in WWE then? And all these long matches
>>12941683AEW outta nowhere.Also holy cherry picking>Darby Allen>MJF>Jungle Boy>Hangman Page>Sammy Guevara>Ricky Starks>Tay Conti>Anna Jay
>>12941683The seen to be doing a good job with 23 year old jungle boy
>>12941705Because they were the only guys they could get reactions from a live crowd
>>12941754The live crowd is infested with fatass Smarks now of course they want to see that shit
>>12941462Implying this nigga couldn’t be the man if they wanted it
>>12941691Triple H during the first halfBig ShowEdge and ChristianThe HardyThe DudleysChris JerichoX PacMost of the midcardThose are ones I can think of of the top of my head
>>12941778Go watch SMW reruns then. Face it, wrestling has passed you by gramps.
I just remembered WWE has DragunovThat lil nigga is dimes
>>12941705That's still not evidence
>>12941778And with how poorly they've run shoes since 2002, they're the only ones left.
>>12941818How is that not evidence? You’re moving the goalposts now>>12941821And it’s because they have pandered to this niche audience since 2005.
>>12941858How is it evidence? Its nothing but speculation. Fo you understand what moving the goalpost means or are you just saying phrases you've heard?
>>12941801I see literally nothing special about the guy
>>12941884HHH loves indie darlings, and he loves long matches. NXT is a perfect example of that and most of the NXT call ups are these indie darlings
>>12941903You do understand the difference between evidence and speculation? Did you go to school?
>>12941938You’re hopeless. It’s obvious that no matter what I show you you will still find a way to deny it.
>>12941978>no matter what I show you>hasnt provided a single piece of verified evidenceThis is your brain on cult of cornette
>>12941438A cage match at Halloween Havoc 1996 between a 43 year old Piper and a 44 year old Hogan was denounced as Age in the Cage.Its not just an age thing, its a staleness thing. Sheamus, The Miz and Randy Orton are the 3 most boring wrestlers on the WWE roster now. Haven't really changed anything about themselves in 10 years and have been there forever. The freshest person in the match is AJ, its not all an age thing.
None of the current wrestlers look like champ material. Kofi got fucking mogged the minute Lesnar came back, and they tried building him up. Now he’s back to a comedy jobber. That’s the problem with modern WWE. They don’t know how to build a single new star. Drew is looking great, but certainly not for long.
>>12941989I’m not a Cornette supporter, I think he was an entertaining personality in wrestling and he is right that Wrestling nowadays sucks, he wants to go back to the 1970s-1980s wrestling which is stupid and also he’s a leftie and a cuckold and he burns too many bridges.
>>12942009I think the anon was stating that WWE was make fun of the ages of WCW wrestlers main eventing, when it’s the exact same thing happening here. I do agree that age isn’t the issue. It’s the talent and the fact that a lot of these wrestlers in the main event have been in the spotlight without changing up their moves or anything in a long time. It’s crazy that WWE just doesn’t get this.
>>12942036So are you gonna provide evidence then or what?
>>12942092I mean all you need to do is watch an episode of Raw, Smackdown, or NXT to see
>>12942141Still not evidence though is it. Just like it wasn't last time.I could just as easily say that long matches are to do with there being more air time to fill and floppy wrestlers are because market research has shown its what younger viewers want. I have no idea if this is true though because it's speculation not evidence. Exactly like what you're saying and what you keep repeatedly saying I don't think you're very smart.
>>12941449All except Drew have been featured prominently for years. Sheamus and Miz were pushed from the moment they joined despite being green as goose shit.
>>12941508?
>>12942025Kofi is not "current", he's been in WWE for 13 years now
>>12941361Older guys means experienced professionals, experienced professionals means solid main events
>>12942355See >>12941459
>>12941459Add Roman in there too, since it’s been 8 years he’s been on WWE
>>12942410I'd be interested to see the TV age of the main event on the smackdown side, have they got a chamber match announced yet? Might just do last years if not.
>>12942443They haven’t announced one yet, but I’m interested in the TV age for that one too. I guarantee we will get Roman, Corbin, Owens, Dominik, Seth, and a random throw in.
>>12942489>Roman ReignsIn WWE for 9 years>CorbinIn WWE for 7 years (Debuted in NXT 2014, main roster in 2016)>OwensIn WWE for 7 years (Debuted in NXT 2014, main roster in 2015)>DominikIn WWE as an active wrestler for 2 years>SethIn WWE for 9 years>Black In WWE for 5 years (Debuted in NXT 2016, main roster in 2019)It's better but not by much, WWE would benefit from not blowing their characters loads on NXT before calling them up.
>>12942489This is pretty correct judging by the booking of WWE right now. I think Brain Strowman is on Smackdown, so I’d throw him into the mix.
>>12941459>>12942630This is some good stuff anon. Thank you for the info. >WWE would benefit from not blowing their characters loads on NXT before calling them up.Truth right here.
>>12941361All those guys have 10 years left in them
>>12941361All the biggest names in AEW are geezers too
>>12944741
>>12941361Who should they have used instead that are just as credible?
>>12941508I liked Edge winning. WWE still feels stale though, but that has nothing to do with actual ages. Think about 1990 to 2000. Then think about 2010 to 2020. It's been the same dudes for a decade
>>12941668Nitro started when Big Daddy Bitch was the champ
>>12941516 >>12941573 >>12941616 >>12941778lose weight Bitchtits
>>12944741Cody is the same age as Drew and he's portrayed as the grizzled veteran in his prime, not some rookie who gets a "nice work kiddo" handshake like Damien "40 next year" Priest.
>>12941683what's african warrior manbungo doing in the Elite-zone?
>>12941508>this isn't the same thread as yesterday>he's actually been posting this multiple times
Why do people care what their ages are if they can work a match? lol
>>12941580>the booking of WWF in 1995 isn't bad it's the roster who is bad
>>12946336>if they can work a matchPretty big IF as far as Miz & Ortonnetty are concerned.
>>12941683reminder: Sonny Kiss has not wrestled on Dynamite in nearly 4 monthsThe DEFINITION of rent-free
>>12946336the best wrestler in the world is already 60
