Thoughts? How did this happen?

The rock was also considered washed and too old at 39 for a mania main event back then

Phil looks like he's 57. He turns all red like a lobster by the time the match has started.

Bear in mind that HHH was intent on developing Bron Breakker into a main event challenger at WM42. They aborted this plan before the hernia injury, electing, as they do, to fall back on the older Vince-era stars.

Pro wrestling is also very different from real sports in that the public image of the characters can be protected from the trial of natural selection that real athletes are always subjected to. The cycle of unknown young lions that replace the aged and established household names never ceases in pro sports, but in pro wrestling this cycle needs to be carefully managed and mediated in response to audience reception.

To sum it up in two points:
(1) It's not unusual for the most successful wrestlers on any roster to be far past their physical prime, since their staying power is a direct reflection of the audience's acceptance of them as stars.

(2) The absence of any wrestlers under the age of 35 who are on the verge of rising to the level the WM42 main eventers have achieved is a direct result of the incompetence of HHH and his creative team. That's how this happened.

wasn't Machoman comically old at like 34? all of the old guys refuse to put over younger guy and they hide fags in NXT until they are in their mid 30s and they won't ever let anyone like Gable near the main event

Wrestling went from being stuck in 1999 to being stuck in 2013.

flo rida / pitbull era was kino, but I have a soft spot for the weeknd themes too. initially I hated it because it felt so out of place but eventually got into it.

>>20031135
No he wasn't. He had gone off to Hollywood and only mad one or two appearances a year. You could say he was out of ring shape since he never wrestled but no one said he was too old.

>>20031389
Holy hell who uploaded this?

I swear, CM Punk is an evil devil wizard for convincing so many people that he is main event material.
