AEW Does Have Older Wrestlers and An Age Issue But They're Not The Only One

AEW Does Have Older Wrestlers and An Age Issue But They're Not The Only One 

November 30, 2023

AEW is wrestling's second biggest promotion in the world and as a result, many great wrestlers and legends have come through the promotion. In recent times, many have noticed the older talent and aging legends popping up and the roster looking older. While it's true AEW does have an age issue or older talent, to be fair, they're not the only ones and it's something that's been happening for most of the major promotions. For the record, I don't mind talent in their 40s or even 50s still competing if they aren't totally washed up so I'm not saying older talent is a bad thing but like anything in life, you don't want too much.

Back in July, I wrote an article of WWF wrestlers who had a bad 1998. However, 1998 wasn't a bad year for everyone in the Federation. Not only was 1998 a great year for the WWF, but many of their superstars had a great 1998 with some having memorable moments, others had big returns, and other rose to the next level. In this article, we'll look at ten WWF wrestlers who had a good or great 1998.

Japanese Wrestling or Puroresu has had it's share of larger than life legends who were part of and a big part of a golden age in the business. One such wrestler in Japan was Masahiro Chono. A member of a legendary class of New Japan Dojo graduates that came out in 1984, Chono eventually skyrocketed to fame in the 1990s as one of wrestling's best talents and heels while also being a part of New Japan's "Three Musketeers" group alongside fellow 90s top stars Shinya Hashimoto and Keiji "The Great Muta" Mutoh. This September 17th marks Chono's 60th birthday and what better way to celebrate a legend, especially one not as well known in the west, then to present some interesting facts about the man referred to as "Black Charisma", "Mr. August", and "Mr. G1".

Top Ten Wrestlers Who Blew A Great Retirement

Top Ten Wrestlers Who Blew A Great Retirement
September 13. 2023
By Ryan Porzl

Professional Wrestling has it's share of tropes and things to mock and one of the big ones are retirements. While there have been a fair share of wrestlers and legends who have honored a retirement, the majority of wrestlers don't know the word "retirement" and many have broken them to return to the ring. However, out of all the wrestlers who have broke retirements, there are those who were given hero's sendoffs including a big match at a big event and usually with a big crowd or hometown crowd. Many legends have been given a perfect sendoff only to break it and return to the ring with some of those returns being big mistakes. In this article, we'll look at the wrestlers who had perfect retirements and ride off to the sunset only to blow it and come back with the return usually being a mistake.
