Being the same age as the Shield guys will always be the crazy thing for me. Like they've achieved all their dreams multiple times over and I'm still here just a big ol' loser!

Ultimate Warrior has been dead longer than his original heyday run from 1987 to 1991.

Edge is coming back after 9 years.
It was 9 years when Bob Backlund lost the WWF title then came back at rumble 93 looking like a relic from another time

Shawn Michaels is now older than Hulk Hogan was in 2005 when he did the Larry King sketch.

Here's another: The Rock debuted in the WWF at age 24, almost 24 years ago. Dustin Rhodes is 2 years younger than Ric Flair was when Naitch came back to the WWF after the Invasion. Y2J is 3 years younger than Ric was. The hilarious HBK vs Hogan match will be 15 years old this August. Remember how cringey and annoying Raw's guest host era was? Well good thing that is pretty much a distant memory, it happened almost a decade ago.A good portion of it is closer to the The Attitude Era(lets say 1998 to 2001) than it is today, and back then(the guest host era), Attitude Era felt like a bygone time, yet those two eras feel like two seperate companies, not much has changed since the PG era. Also, WWE RAW has been running for 3 hours for the past 7 and a 1/2 years, longer than WCW Nitro's entire run(September 1995 to March 2001). Hulk Hogan's WWF return in February 2002 will soon be longer than when he first won the company's top championship in January 1984, and I remember before his return, his original run was considered old and outdated.

Edge, Shawn Michaels and Hacksaw Jim Duggan have all been in a Royal Rumble match in 4 different decades.

Hulk Hogan's entire WCW run was about 6 years. That's about the same amount of time that has elapsed since CM Punk's last WWE match.
This one blew my mind: Steve Austin is now older than Vince was at the time of their steel cage match.
Also, as someone who is both obsessed with wrestling and also time, this is my favorite thread lol.

If I ever forget my age, I just count how many Wrestlemanias there have been.
I was born July 83, so I was roughly 1 3/4 year old when Mania 1 happened.

Chris Jericho is now older than Hogan during his 2002 title reign. Hey! That’s Chris “Youngest AEW Champion Ever” Jericho, sir or madam!

We're two years away from Sheik finally making it down to the ring at WM38 I seriously think if Sheik can, they should open the pre-show with him getting into the ring and some smart ass saying he finally made it. I think it would be a great tribute to Heenan and it gets Sheik on Mania. Look, I know it'll never happen, but man, I wish it would. It would be something fun.

• R-Truth now is the same age as Verne Gagne was when Gagne filmed the 1970s movie “The Wrestler.”
• If Mae Young’s birthed hand were a person, it would be turning 20 next month.
• The same amount of time has elapsed between WrestleMania I to the rebranding of WWE as the rebranding of WWE to this year.

We're further removed from the end of the Attitude Era (19 years) than the beginning of the Attitude Era is from Vince McMahon's founding of Titan Sports (18 years).
