This year The reigning, defending, undisputed Universal Champion Brock Lesnar will turn the same age Hogan was when WWF aired the skits of old wrestlers Nacho Man and Huckster WWE was always hypocritical of those things. Hell, Lawler was older than both of them and he was headlining against Piper (who was only a year younger than Hogan).
Steve Austin is at least a decade older (55) than Ric Flair was (44) when he did 'A Flair For The Old'.

How about we lighten the mood a bit.
Randy Orton has been in the company since the WWF days but isn't even 40 years old yet.

Kelly Kelly is only two weeks older than Becky Lynch Here’s another Becky one. If she retired at the age Trish Stratus did, she would have retired in October 2017.

• 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. what do you mean if he were a person? Further proof that this was the dumbest f***ing joke they’ve ever tried to make. They couldn’t have found a twelve year-old to stick in that suit?

They showed a clip of Brock Lesner from his debut Royal Rumble the other day. It's 18 years since his debut. 2020 is as close to 2002 as 1984 was to 2002. Look at clips of WWE in 1984 and how drastically different it was and the many changes it went through from 84 to 92 to 97 and on to 2002. Now look from 2002 until now and how similar and few changes we have seen with the look of the product. This is so true, I mean even 1995 to 1999 feels wayyyyyyy more different than 2002 does to 2020. It’s like everything’s felt the exact same since 2012.

The Rock has been retired damn near 2x longer than his actual career run time
(96-04) is his full time run tho you can technically say 03
Easy to forget he stopped full time at 30

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. Yep I was born in 84 and turned 1 in 85 so the same year as Wrestlemania 1. That might come in handy as I get older. 36 this year yikes.

Scientists estimate that some time in late 2097, Hillbilly Jim will finally wrap up his HOF speech that began in 2018.

Next March, Triple H will have been employed by WWF/WWE for one-half of his life.

Unless you count his appearance for WWE Backstage on November 12th, 2019, more time has passed for CM Punk's absence from WWE(since Royal Rumble 2014) than Bob Backlund's original WWF title run at 2,135 days. IF you want to count his Backstage appearance, than the straight edge superstar has been unaffliated with the company for 2116, just 19 days short of Backlund's first reign(officially recognized by WWE since the championship was held up several times during that period).
Around late April of this year, Brock Lesnar's WWE return will surpass the amount of time he's been on hiatus with the company, which was from March 14, 2004(Wrestlemania XX) to April 2nd, 2012.
If The Fabulous Moolah's near 28 year reign ended today, it would've started in March 1992, right before Wrestlemania VIII! That would encompass The New Generation Years, Attitude Era, Ruthless Aggression, PG Era, and whatever you wanna call this era today!

These facts are both really interesting, and also making me feel really ancient. I have completely lost the concept of time. It’s like “Oh, 2007? That wasn’t that long ago.” It was 13 years ago! Where did time go? What the hell?

I was was just figured out my wrestling anniversary which is Monday. Feb 3rd 1989 the Main Event was the first wrestling show I remember, that’s the night Savage turned on Hogan. I’ve must have been fan longer than that because I knew who Hogan, Savage and Liz were. Can’t believe it’s been 31 years.

Pretty much it was like 1-2 console generations.

Lesnar's current run is four times longer than his first. Not including his time in OVW, he's had a little less than a quarter of the number of matches in this run than he did in the previous, though.

Matt and Jeff Hardy both had matches on WWF television before Rhea Ripley or Velveteen Dream were born. In this same vein, when Konnor of The Ascension first reported to developmental, Rhea Ripley was 5.
