The King is so old he has a copy of the Bible autographed by Moses.[/tables turned] I'm not saying the King's old, but his social security number only has three digits.

I blame dementia. He thinks it's 2002.

To be fair on the King, when RVD was born, Lawer had already booked himself to win his 163rd title down in Memphis so he does seem like a youngster.

The King is so old, a lot of the insults he hurled at Helen Hart are fairly suitable for him now.

When the King was a young man, the Dead Sea was only sick!

Jerry Lawler is so old he knew Cap'n Crunch when he was still an ensign

He's so old, The Flintstones is actually a documentary of his first marriage.

It's well known that Jerry Lawler decided to become a wrestler when he went to a notable live event headlined by David vs. Goliath.

Jerry Lawler is so old! "HOW OLD IS HE?" He is so old, when he wrestled for ECW, it was known as Egyptian Championship Wrestling.

Meh, wrestling should be about talking guys up. RVD still looks relatively young for his age. I'd be more concerned if he said "LOL, RVD is really old!!!"

My grandmother once referred to my 51 year old step-father as a young man. Just something older people do.

Um, he's not allowed to call a guy 21 years younger than himself a "young man"? RVD is in his 40s. He is not a young man, no matter how much older Lawler is. RVD is a young man compared to Lawler. It is pretty common among old people to call people in the 40´s young. It is also pretty sad to see all the hate Lawler gets. He is a legend who deserves respect.

Honestly I don't see what the big deal is about this. RVD is only 43, which is still pretty young. It's an age where your likely near the end of your wrestling career, but in general it's still young since a lot of people are living into their 80s & 90s these days. And Lawler is 64, so to him RVD is young since Lawler was that age back in 1992.

For an athlete, 43 is pretty old.
Yes it's Lawler's job to put him over, but you use different terms, you don't call him young when he's a decade or more older than opponents, you call him a veteran, bring up his experience, his title runs and accomplishments to put him over.
While he is young compared to Lawler, to the viewers, that just makes Lawler super old and is not what they see on the screen, especially in the children and teens market that is the primary demographic.

Rob Van Dam is 43. In 1993-4, Bob Backlund was sold as being a senior citizen.
He was 45.
RVD looks younger though. It's probably the hair and the flips.

Um, he's not allowed to call a guy 21 years younger than himself a "young man"? Sure he can. But I'd say we nerdz on the interwebs can also be allowed to joke about & point out that someone whose been wrestling for nearly 20 years doesn't really qualify as "a young man," unless it's a comment made by an old codger who wears T-shirts to work while his colleagues are in suits & ties.

While RVD does not appear young, Jerry Lawler wearing those Affliction t-shirts appears old. This is coming from a 50 year old guy, BTW.

As a 41 year old, I like hearing 43 referred to as young, but we're not. It's middle age. RVD is old enough to be Bo Dallas' dad.
