      @215 livin In legit sports it may matter but not with wrestling also most wrestlers don't reach their peak in wrestling til their early- mid 30s.

    • @webesorrytho
      @webesorrytho 5 лет назад

      @215 livin Stone Cold was only in WWE for 8 years until he retired in 2003. If you only count the 3:16 era, 6.5 years. He was definitely past his capabilities after he broke his neck in 97. In that short span of time and even with the injury, he was the face of professional wrestling. An early-30's NXT guy definitely has enough time to be built. Just use them properly.

    • @webesorrytho
      @webesorrytho 5 лет назад +1

      @215 livin WWE fans have gotten behind plenty wrestlers who don't do "flippity kick shit." Nakamura, Cesaro, Braun, Brock, Owens, and Bryan are just a few names who fans have demanded to be champ or a face of the brand. If you don't conflate agility with "flippity kick shit," add AJ to that list. And almost all of these guys debuted... in their 30s. Not to mention the big names in NXT who aren't as agile.
