Thurston: Age of TV match wrestlers (average WWE MR worker now younger than average AEW worker)

[Leon TrotSky]

This is honestly wild considering the number of guys around 40 who can still go that are in WWE, 34 feels way too young for an average

 

[Leon TrotSky]

Also really interesting to see that hump in the NXT graph, given how it corresponds to Late Black and Gold which is easily the era I'm lowest on. Guys who are theoretically main roster ready not coming up because they don't want to be ruined by Vince, creating a logjam while the same guys have the 30 minute empty "bangerz" HHH wishes he could have had at their age

It makes sense to me (obviously I think it's true anyway) bc you had a few old switches like Edge or guys leaving like Brock/Lashley. Even guys like AJ and Roman wrestle so little it has to affect the skew. Plus the crop of NXT guys called up the last couple years have been young af, I expect WWE to keep dropping.

Likewise, AEW might go up some but with Sting gone and I can't imagine Edge and Christian having a ton more matches, they'll probably drop too. By necessity more than anything, a lot of these guys just can't go forever and they have a gap of old and you g

Lashley, Benjamin & MVP if he wrestles will keep it up there though I imagine since they're 48, 49 & 50 respectively

 

[Chris]

Yeah they were who I had in mind for going up some more still, I just don't think it'll last long. If they aren't careful a lot of guys could end up winding down around the same time

Okada is young af too and I'm sure they're hoping he'll be around for a decade at least
