Flair is now aging at lightning speed, but still look almost decent, if you don't compare him with himself in 2003.
Shawn Michaels looks really bad, especially with the new "hobo" style. Receding hairline aside, his bushy eyebrows and skinny face don't make him any favour.
Backlund, Volkoff, Valentine and Duggan look fairly good for their age, but that's the advantage for people who was never in perfect shape even in their prime. Or who looked already older than their age... It's the Arn Anderson syndrome.

I also noticed that these wrestlers were never associated with the parties that have been taking place since the late 1970's. But then again, Arn Anderson seems to be an exception to that rule.

i cant believe people say Greg Valentine looks good. I saw him in person a few years ago, and he was down right scary. Then again, it's most likely the same as he looked in his prime

Even though he passed away over 5 years ago, Curt Hennig pretty much looked the same at 44 (2003) as he did during his first WWF run. A little doughier, but that's it. Here's some fairly recent footage of Bret www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_3HqcSYXx0I'd say he looked decent well into his 40's and even immediately after the stroke. Here he's looking weathered

Backlund and Volkoff I dont know about. But Duggan? That man and Sheik did more drugs than you can shake a stick at.

The worst definately has to go to Ric Flair. He just looks so old and frail in the ring now, it's almost sad. I also hate to say it but HBK hasn't aged to well either. He used to be so cute, but now he looks like an 80 year old man, especially with the whole hobo look he's got going on. I think Taker's a guy that has aged fairly well. For a guy who's about to be 43 on Monday he sure doesn't look it. In this recent picture he looks very young to me. Yeah, he does look good.

Holy hell, Festus is my age? The guy looks like crap. I just looked up his age and his 24 - just like me? Wow.

How the hell did Festus lose his hair already? Sometimes it just happens. I started balding at around age 16.

Ppppfh, everyone knows that Arn Anderson was born fully grown, bald and with a beard.

Firstly, many kudos to Emre Belozoglu on that age chart. I wish at 37 I looked as good as Jericho!
I think Roddy Piper has aged terribly, too many cheese steaks and beer there.

Shawn Michaels looks terrible to me. He seems to be cross-eyed now. It's weird.
Marty Jannetty looks pretty good for his age.

Everyone keeps saying he was born in 1965 but his records show him being born in 1962, which is what used to be originally reported.

Charlie Haas (sorry if it was mentioned earlier) has aged extremely well. I thought he was in his late 20's, but he's 35, soon to turn 36.

Nope, he was actually born in 1965, a lot of sites just report 1962 and it's inaccurate. There's actually of photo on the net of Taker and his basketball team during his senior year which was 1983, making him 18 at the time...25 years later and you get his age today, 43. I think you can find all this on his high school's website, Waltrip High. Look it up. Happy Birthday Taker.
