Cody and Knight should retire? Great! Get these geeks out of WWE.

We need young men oozing Kavorka like Damien Priest.

Damien is fine for his role but he's one of the oldest "future stars" I think I've ever seen. 🤔

 

Based on your logic since Cody is so old already lets add to the list other active male wwe stars who is 38+years old : AJ Styles (46), Baron Corbin (38), Brock Lesnar (46), Bobby Lashley (47), Damian Priest (40), Drew McIntyre (38), Edge (49), Finn Balor (42), Karl Anderson (43), Karrion Kross (38), Kofi Kingston (41), Luke Gallows (39), Randy Orton (43), Roman Reigns (38), Rey Mysterio (48), Sami Zayn (39), Sheamus (45), Shinsuke Nakamura (43), The Miz (42), Tommaso Ciampa (38) , Braun Strowman (39)

Quite the list we have there (probably forgot some...), basically most main eventers and upper card guys there. Why do you forgot to mention them as too old to get pushed ?

 

I guess OP doesn't realize that well over half of the WWE's current talent is in their late 30s-late 40s, and many can still put on some good matches.

 

38 years old being "too old"... Imagine.... Ill be 38 next year and yet as of right now I still feel very young. lol Most of the top talent in WWE are either 38 or above or are close to it. Most of the time wrestlers don't hit their prime until they reach their 30s.

 

I will also be 38 next year and I agree with the OP, we are too old and belong in retirement homes.

I already got myself a gun and planning on killing myself before I hit 40 to avoid embarrassing death of old age.

 

The elderly lmao

 

The Elderly?
Shit, should've seen Goldberg few years back.

 

Did a 10 year old write this?

 

Must be no older than 14 to think a 38 is elderly lol

 

Kevin Owens will likely "retire" until he pops up immediately later in AEW. At his age, he still has years ahead of him.

 

Yea let’s depush acts who are over and one who is making a shit ton of money based on age purely. Time for Roman to lose those titles to Waller at payback.

Also tom brady should have retired at 38 rather than win three more Super Bowl rings.

Seriously the young talent needs to earn their push from Cody and knight.

 

On what fucking planet is 38-40 too old???

Look at all the under 30s, just look at ESPN’s list, and tell me who on it is anywhere near the finished product?!

Reigns is 38. Want him to retire, in the absolute prime of his life?

Hogan was 44 in 97, during one of the hottest runs in wrestling history. Sting was 38 at the time.

Undertaker was 44 when he had the greatest WrestleMania match of all time with HBK.

Batista was 36 when he hit the big time in 2005. Austin was 34 in 1998 when he struck gold.

Rock, Lesnar, Cena, Orton, MJF, they’re all exceptions to the rule. They’re rare talents that were polished at remarkably young ages, hence their status in the wrestling world. Otherwise re-read the above and get the picture - 38 is more likely someone’s peak than retirement age.

 

Lol it’s funny you mentioned Batista as Batista in fact became a real grandpa at the age of 40. And he also retired from wrestling around that age too, his couple returns after showed that he was way past it at that time

 

This is a troll post. Hopefully it's moved to rants or ban hammered soon. Shocked so many took the bait.

 

Just be glad they aren't over 50 with 100 percent creative control booking a weekly wrestling program ran by an incompetent Dixie Carter.

But yeah he should retire! All of them over 25 get out.

 

Man, I'm nearing grandpa age too. Holy shit!

 

Sexiest old man in wrestling 🥰

 

He is also almost crippled and has a bad back due to his old age. That’s why his time as a wrestler is up too

 

Yes, Cody, Owens and LA Knight should retire. Let's purge ALL the charisma from WWE and get rid of Asuka, Wyatt and Zayn too. Make sure there's not a drop left.

 

In a real sport 38 is Deff pushing it, in pro wrestling it’s nothing, trips,Kane,taker,hbk,Jericho,edge,Rey they were in 30s early 40s and still putting on great matches

 

Usually peaks in this business are in the 30's, but I don't think you can be a full-time wrestler on the road 300 days a year in your mid 40's. The same could be said with some other sports, you can't be that competitive at 45 against a 30 year old. Certainly there are some exceptions, but I am talking about the majority of cases. 38 isn't old, and 7 years until 45 is plentiful in this business.

 

hogan was 44 in 19997 all those attitude era guys were late 30s or early 40s. wrestling isnt basketball

 

It really depends on the individual, their style of wrestling, and how many serious injuries they've sustained. Hogan and Orton for example messed up their backs because of their finishers. But if you have a safer style, and have been lucky enough to not have any major injuries, you can get wrestle into your late 40's and 50's, and this was the norm since the territory days. Look at the Miz for example. He could probably continue wrestling into his 50's if chooses to do so.

There's a reason why Jerry the King Lawler is still wrestling in his 70's. Sting is in his 60's, Billy Gunn late 50's.

You even sometimes get wrestlers who still pump out great singles matches in their 50's like Dustin Rhodes and Nick Bockwinkel. Psychology becomes key as you get older though. I can't imagine Kenny Omega still pulling out "5 star" classics in 10 years since he won't be able to wrestle like he is now, and never bothered to learn psychology. You never know though, he might surprise us all.

 

Yet AEW has wrestlers so old they are drawing their pensions. Old Man Jericho, Jeff Hardy who’s in pain doing moves 60 year old Billy Gun. At least Cody can still go..

 

Hey man... Billy Gunn is awesome...

 

Everyone up in here wasting their time replying to this guy and I'm just like

 

wrestling legend hit their prime in their late 30s.OP is trolling

 

Agree with OP. Most people fiercely disagreeing are most likely 40+ themselves.

 

I remember just last year when all the kool aid drinkers were thrilled cause he resigned with WWE. instead of going to AEW. Now he wants to retire.........

 

Seems like this was just a roundabout way to moan about Rhodes.

 

With the dates per year being lesser than in the past, it allows wrestlers to have longer careers. What is the issue if they look good still and can have good matches.
