What makes me feel old is watching today's wrestlers and remembering vividly many of their fathers wrestling. Two of the (literally) big stars that main-evented shows 30 years ago: Blackjack Mulligan & Larry "The Axe" Hennig. I'm watching their grandsons now.

Just the fact that there people on this roster right now that are younger than me. I'm a whole year older than Bo Dallas. I'm nearly TWO AND A HALF years older than Paige.

I was 7 when the NWO ran over the Rock on Raw. HA, SUCK IT, YOU OLD FOSSILS! Ha, same. Even 7 year old me thought it was bullshit when Rock suddenly forgave Hogan at WrestleMania.

Just wait until the entire Full-Time roster is younger than you. It'll be freaking depressing. I'm still not quite there yet, but we're getting really, really close.

To the OP... Kid (and yes you are still a kid... ), when I was 11, Macho Man was winning the WWF title tournament at Wrestlemania IV. So, get me my shawl, then get off my lawn, you whippersnapper! I was at WM IV, well into my twenties. When I was eleven, we were watching midnight jobber shows and dreaming that we could go to a show at "The Mecca o Professional Wrestling" Madison Square Garden. This your football? It was in my yard, I'm keeping it. Young puns today aint got no respect. Holy shit!! That means you might have saw Terry Funk as a YOUNG MAN.

Semi wrestling related I remember a few years ago watching my cousins play one of the WWE games and I was like damn I remember when I could only play these games on Super Nintendo. Then I get the response of what's a Super Nintendo.

I was 3 years old when the first WrestleMania took place.
Just the thought of that makes me feel old.

My favourite Smackdown video game, Here Comes The Pain turns 12 this November. I was nearly 9-years old when that came out. I remember playing it when it first came out after school... I was in grade 3.
Next year will be 10 years since Lita and Trish retired. Also 10 years since CM Punk debuted. I was 11 then.
15 years ago the Hardys were in their prime and now... They're old and drugged up.

He was always middle aged and crazy.

Just the thought of that makes me feel old. Similar point for that: There are now legitimate WWE Pay-Per-View main events (Rollins/Ambrose in HIAC, Ambrose/Wyatt at TLCS) that have been contested between men who were not born when the first WrestleMania took place.

Sasha Banks and Paige are both younger than me and have held titles. If I don't win the WWE Title in four months, I can never beat Orton for World's Youngest World Champion.

I was a high school sophomore when Owen Hart passed away.
That happened 16 years ago.

I was rocking my newborn daughter to sleep last night while watching Attitude era Raw's on the network. Thought crossed my mind that kids who were rocked to sleep to this as it aired live probably graduated high school this weekend.
Then I died a little inside.

I was 14 and had been a fan for about 2 years (I was a late bloomer). I was hanging around a local mall and went into Prange Way and saw a new line of WWF action figures made by Hasbro. I distinctly remember this day and purchasing my first Randy Savage figure.
Also, I was later in the crowd at Wrestlrmania 8 and when Warrior made the surprise return I have never heard a louder reaction to anything.
And...spending ridiculous amounts of money playing WWF Superstars at a local bowling alley right after it was released. I took great joy in beating on Honkey Tonk Man who was a big enough heel at the time to be included in this release. Fast forward to my a couple of years ago finding and buying the machine from someone on craigslist. It sits in my garage. Plus, I saw Honky at a show in the back yard of a local biker bar and got him to autograph the bezel.
THAT Makes me feel ancient.
