When I started watching WWF, The Rock was 27. Now, I'm 26, almost 27. Anyone else find it kind of strange to be reaching the age of wrestlers you grew up watching?

I'm well passed the age of 95% of the roster. I'm at that age that most wrestlers retire. I've been a wrestling fan longer than some of them have been alive.

I do remember feeling like OP though, especially when I was around 24 and thinking how Brock and Orton had been WWE champion already by that age.

Nope, not strange at all. I'm also older than 99% of all active wrestlers and at this point have watched their entire careers from debut to the latest Raw/SmackDown episode. In some cases, I have an almost parental fondness for some wrestlers having watched "the kids" grow up and flourish. In other cases, I just want them to get off my damn lawn

Here's a bit of perspective: I watched my favourite wrestler of all time (Sting) debut in UWF and then 30 years later, retire at WWE's HOF.
I watch old PPVs and realize I've out-lived many of the participants who were on the card, some PPVs almost 95% of the card is no longer with us!
I've been a wrestling fan for almost 35 years now. The current roster weren't even born!
I think AJ Styles and I are the same age > is he going to be 39 too this year? I've lived a pretty ordinary life compared to what he's been doing for the last 30+ years of his life.

Me too I remember when I saw The Rocks Debut match he was a young man now hes out and old
Time flies as they wrestles The irish whips through the years Adrenline running through their vessels All the great times and tears 'But Wrestling was still here 'Wrestling was still here'

I feel more old watching sports drafts. Kids born in 97/98 getting drafted. Next year, people born in the year 2000 will be adults........

the older i get the more mindblowing it is to really think about what these guys put their bodies through - and how much drive they must have to do that.

I don't feel old at 29... but when I hear "Young up and comer" and then hear them say " I was a kid watching cena and Orton come up", I'm like, damn, I was 14 when they debuted in WWE!
