Also, if you really want to feel old, during the Attitude Era, VHS was still a thing. I remember the other day I was going through my brothers old cassette tapes and found RAWs he recorded from that era. Hell, even sometime after that, people were still using VCRs(although they were on the decline at that point).

Randy Orton is older than his father Bob when he left the WWF and his career was already on its downside

Randy Orton is older than his father Bob when he left the WWF and his career was already on its downside Bob Orton Jrs most famous run in WWF was his 1984-87 run. If we gave him Randy Orton's current WWE longevity and started it in 1984, Bob would have STILL been working in the WWF when his son Randy debuted!

I wrote how hot I thought Randy "Ortin" was in my friends freshman yearbook. He had just debuted on smackdown and had an excellent dropkick. My heart was sold

Oh, here's one. The "What?!" chant has been around for over 18 years(started in late 2001)
That's longer than Steve Austin's ENTIRE in ring career(1989-2003)
If the What chant was a person, they'd be old enough to learn how to wrestle lol.

-The debuts of Cena, Orton, Brock, and Batista are as close to Hogan’s first wwe championship win as it is to today -Cena’s surprise royal rumble win is as close to HBKs first title win as it is to today -it’s been about 5 years since Cena was considered a full time guy (6 since he’s been the face of the company, and 7 since he last main evented mania) -it’s been almost a decade since Undertaker, HBK, and HHH were full time guys

During the Judgment Day 2000 intro hyping The Rock vs. Triple H's iron man match, it was said 14,849 babies will be born during their hour long showdown. If you were one of those babies born during that match, you'd turn 20 on May 21st this year which means you can drive, buy cigerettes, and in some nations even buy alcohol!

If the What chant started wrestling when Riho did in her life, half of its lifetime would have been in wrestling.

In an interview after the Rumble, Toni Storm recounted how when she was just a little girl she used to watch Kelly Kelly on tv. That was a little bit of a weird one to realise. Doubly so when you consider that Kelly is younger than about a third of the other participants in the Royal Rumble match, and only 1-2 years older than another third of them. This reminds me of when Naomi and Cameron when they were still "The Funkadactyls" said to the Bella Twins in a promo "We grew up watching you guys" Brie and Nikki Bella: 36 Years Old, debuted at Ages 23 roughly in 2007 Naomi: 32 Years Old, debuted at age 21 roughly (2 years after the Bellas) Cameron: 32 Years Old, debuted at age 23 (4 Years after the Bellas) Something about that is a tad suspect to me and never will not be, lol SPEAKING OF CAMERON. it will be 9 Years ago this April that she debuted on Tough Enough (The only contestant from that season to ever appear on WWE TV again as a wrestler), and Melina vs Alicia Fox, the "Greatest Match of ALL TIME" is 10 Years Ago this September. The first Tough Enough will also be 20 Years Old next year, which means it's been almost 20 years since Maven won and then got his ass beat by Undertaker for eliminating him at the Rumble...

Since WWE still relies on Attitude Era stars(Austin, Rock, Foley, DX etc etc) to boost ratings and make the current roster look like chumps, timewise that would be equivalent to those legends getting punked out in their time by the likes of Bruno Sammartino, Billy Graham, and Bob Backlund, thats even before the Hulkamania Era!

His arm will still be in that cast when he's 90 and doing run ins for Ortons kids.

First of all, damn. Second of all...Becky Lynch was four years old when I attended my first WrestleMania (VII in LA). I’m also TEN YEARS OLDER than Becky. Life is not fair.
