Commentary saying Sheamus won the Royal Rumble "A decade ago" in 2012 The WWE women talking Beth Phoenix up as a trailblazer and inspiration to their careers... When Beth debuted, Gigi Dolan was 9 years old. Operation "make msc feel ancient" achieved here.

Yeah she showed up, got injured, returned summer 2007 (when Dolan had just turned 10). I remember her return in 2007 better though as Rajah News and Daniel Pena had just reported she had been quietly released months previously as the WWE didn't think she had the look of a diva. Hours later Beth showed up on RAW!

A general sign that a significant amount of time has passed and you realise that you’ve been watching pro wrestling a long damn time, is when you’ve been marking the twentieth anniversary of many attitude era classic moments(from 2000,2001) which you saw as they happened, and there are not only wrestling fans but WRESTLERS who were either not born or were born and are too young to have a contemporaneous memory of those moments. Also, I had a VHS tape that I recorded of wrestle mania X.

I don't care what anyone says, that's David Spade. I am genuinely offended on behalf of David Spade.

Seeing fans nostalgic for the likes of Summer Rae because they grew up on them makes me feel really old. I mean………Why wouldn’t they be nostalgic for WWE legend Summer Rae

I think maybe 16-17 year age difference between Jericho and Piper/Steamboat when they looked ancient and wrestled on PPV and then there's me whose 18-19 years older (at 37) with kid's coming into my job at 18 at the youngest. I'm 20-25 years younger than all our "legends" at the job but I'm seen as "old" by these newer folks who see me as old as their parents. I wouldn't trade it though, I love seeing the new people come in and try to teach them.

By April, it’s gonna be as much time passed between Cena’s first world title reign and the present, and Macho Man’s first world title reign to Cena’s first

In three and a half years, assuming the name dosen't change, it'll be WWE longer than it'll be WWF(March 1979 to May 2002).

Someone pointed out on Twitter that at the Royal Rumble tomorrow, Miz will be as old as Jake Roberts was when it made his return to the Rumble in 1996.
Additionally, Roberts' return at that event was only after he'd been gone from the company for FOUR years.
To put that in perspective to now, everything that happened at Wrestlemania 34 (Charlotte beating Asuka, Styles-Nakamura underwhelming, Braun teaming with a child, the Undertaker-Cena squash, Lesnar-Reigns II, Daniel Bryan's return to in-ring competition, Angle/Ronda vs Triple H/Steph) happened as long ago from tomorrow as Wrestlemania VIII (Hogan-Sid, Savage-Flair, Piper-Bret) did from Rumble 96 (Bret-Taker, Razor-Goldust, Ahmed-Jarrett, Smoking Gunns-Body Donnas).
Wild that April 92 - Jan 96 feels like two or three roster turnovers whereas so much of April 18 - January 22 feels like essentially the same era in terms of aesthetic/presentation and roster.

The first Wrestlemania I watched was mania 8. It’s longer ago now than the Kennedy assassination was in 1992 when it aired.

It’s been 38 years since David Von Erich died in 1984, the same amount of time between WW2 ending and his death and the war gave his father his gimmick

Bron Breakker was only 3 years old when his uncle first won the WCW World title. Neither Austin Theory or Bron Breakker were alive when Austin and Bret had their I quit match at mania 13

I remember in 2003 right after Wrestlemania XIX with Roddy Piper's return Rikishi confronted him with a coconut and brought up the incident where Piper smashed his uncle Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka with one. This lead to a feud with Piper's protege' Sean O'haire. Well anyway, this spring, more time will pass from that segment to present, then it did between the original coconut incident and that one.

Kevin Owens is less than a year away from being his Wrestlemania 38 opponent "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's age when he retired.
Austin Theory was born one day before Summerslam 97.
The first two Saturday Night's Main Events since the show was revived in 2006 is closer to the end of the show's original run than it is to today.
Wrestlemania 21 is now closer to Wrestlemania 4 than it is today.
At this point, Wrestlemania has taken place in a stadium more times than a regular arena.
