Earthquake being only 27 when he debuted still blows my mind. Man looked like he was in his early 40s. This is Quake during his sumo career, at somewhere between 22-23. It's at least 90% the hair. I can't un-see Sumo Corbin there.

There are a lot of factors, but People in general tend to have a younger demeanor in the 21st century.

Hulk Hogan was only forty when he jumped to WCW in the nineties. In general I think people stay younger for longer now and the age boundaries have shifted a lot in the past couple of decades, Hogan seemed so old then but forty is pretty young now. But a lot of it is that someone like Jericho continued to evolve and stay relevant, he wasn't still trying to be a fiery 25-year-old and ironically that makes him seem younger. You see it a lot with musicians too, the ones still trying to do what they did forty or fifty years ago seem older than the ones who tried to stay fresh. To be fair, Hogan and Flair seemed old because they WERE super old to us kids back then and they looked about 40 from their 30s to their 50s. For many oldschool guys it's the skullet that made them look insta-old. That being said, I just looked up The Butcher and I was pretty sure to see him being a millienial with a skullet, but I was wrong. He actually IS 44 years old.

Billy Gunn walks around on Dynamite each week and you'd never guess he was pushing 60.

Back in the early 90s I thought Bret Hart was a bit younger than he was. Like late 20a or 30. He was about 35/36 when he won the world title
Flair in the early 90s I thought was already about 50. Everyone thought that. The silver hair, the pectoral sags

Paul Bearer. When he debuted as the Undertakers manager I would've guessed...late 40s. He was only around 36-37
When I saw Buzz Sawyer in the mid 80s I assumed he was at the youngest late 30s. Maybe 40. Turns out he was just 27
Rocco Rock of Public Enemy. I remember seeing him in ECW and then WCW and thinking he looks kinda old...even though he's in a tag team whose ring attire was very much in line with what the young and hip urban crowd of the era would be. I checked in the late 90s how old he was and was shocked to see he was 45 years old. A year older than Hulk Hogan
When James Vandenburg debuted in WCW with Mortis...he was some early or mid 40s guy. No question he was. I just recently looked him up, turns out he was 32!!!
One Man Gang when he arrived in the WWF in 1987 was someone who looked mid to late 30s. Possibly even 40. He was just 27
Kevin Nash I thought was a bit younger when he debuted in the WWF in 1993. Somewhere in his late 20s, but he was already 34.
Jesse Ventura I assumed was in his mid 40s around 1984-85. He was only 33!

^One Man Gang would be a guy I'd see and think he was a grizzled 15-year veteran when in World Class. Nope, 25 in 1985.
(Weird to see OMG shared a day of birth with my mother-in-law.)

I was a little shocked to find out Zoey Stark is only currently 28 (and turning 29 not too far from now). Actually, when she debuted last year, she was only 27, but I would have guessed she was in her early-to-mid-30s. I thought she was a little older than her age.

Zoey definitely seems a lot older then she is. We joke sometimes in the live NXT threads how she's the oldest 28 year old woman in the world. Like for instance her being born the same year as Liv Morgan is mind boggling as she looks and comes off like she's about a decade older.

Who would ever think this man was 38 years old at the time.

I just saw somewhere the other day Gigi Dolin is 25. I wasn’t surprised like “Wow, she looks good/bad for 25” but more that she had to have started out really young if she’s been around for awhile and still be in her mid 20s.

Davey Boy only being like 37 during his last WWF run. He seemed like such a relic to me because he was around WWF and WCW forever by then it seemed.

I said this during Deadline, but Bron Breakker and Grayson Waller need to switch ages.
