Hhh has very little prime left

[Guest yomama]

28-32 is prime, 33+ you decline.  You guys will then have another thing to rag HHH about.

[Guest Dangerous A]

Well I guess by that rationale that means that the Austin/Benoit program we are all looking forward to has gone to shit since both of those guys are older than 33.

[Guest AlwaysPissedOff]

Goddamn you, Lkdg. Why can't you just fucking DIE already? No one around here wants to hear you're lame ass prime bullshit that you keep on pimping in AOHell chatrooms despite getting owned everytime you try it.

[Guest graph9]

Dude..you know it..you notice how much we love HHH in here..he is very special 2 us...hee hee

[Guest]

I think Trips will pull a Hogan and stay around until he is about 50.

[Guest]

I think HHH is past his prime, but his age has nothing to do with it.  Injuries piling up are what has killed him.

 

Austin is like 37 I think.  I'd like to believe he's a had a decent match or two in the last five years.

[Guest]

I think using the age theory is crap! Ric Flair and Bret Hart were still two of the best in the world after the age of 32.

 

But, like someone else said, depends on injuries.

[Guest buffybeast]

I think the age theory is a little unjust in professional wrestling.  I say this because of the nature of the sport, one can tailor a match to overshadow physical inadequacies or highlight your strengths.  Of course, eventually father time and injury become too strong of a factor to hide in any type of match.

 

My point being that just because a wrestler is 35 doesn't mean he can't perform wonderfully and put on a 5 star match.  See Benoit and Storm as examples.

[Guest]

I'm pretty sure Flair was 39 when he engaged in the epic Flair/Steamboat battles

[Guest TheDames7]

Just to let you guys know, this poster isn't exactly interested in discussion.  He's IMed myself and others talking about all this prime nonsense without any facts to legitimize his views.  He's a troll, plain and simple and he will be dealt with accordingly if he continues to parade himself on this board that way.

33+ you decline, you don't automatically turn to shit.  Austin is 5 years past his prime (he is 37), Benoit is 3 years past his prime (he is 35).  They are both still great, just not as good as they used to be.

Right, and Bret was 38/39 when he did the "Iron Man" Match with Shawn Michaels.

[Guest]

This age theory is bullshit. Injuries and "muscle enhancers" are what's keeping Triple H off his game (no pun intended). Ric Flair was 42 when he did the Rumble match back in 1992. It's all about keeping yourself healthy.

[Guest yomama]

>Ric Flair was 42 when he did the Rumble match back in 1992. It's all about keeping yourself healthy.

 

If he was 32 for the 1992 Royal Rumble, it would have been even better.  Flair declined on a very slightly pace from 33 to his mid 40s, after that he declined on a faster pace.

Ooookay, I see where this is going. I'm out.

The age theory IS bullshit. But I don't exactly see what it is about Bret Hart's formulaic and boringly predictable approach to wrestling that has made him "one of the best in the world."

Well you're opening another can of worms there... you're also in the minority who believes that, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion

[Guest Brian]

Flair's best years were from 35 to 40.

 

Austin had two peaks in his career, and really aside from injuries, he was awesome from 27 to about 36. He really peaked in the WWF in 1997 and 2001 when he was healthy.

[Guest]

I, like many others, hope that this program with Guerrero and the upcoming one with Benoit are just wha Austin needs to get his mojo going again. If so, Austin may experience yet another peak.

Wait, did he IM you guys too and tell you that you were a bitch because you do what society tells you? If so, he did the same to me and was SOOOOOOO annoying.

[Guest]

33 isn't that old but i beleive the quad injury took a lot of him. This is why the WWE needs to push younger guys like RVD, Booker T, Edge, and Bossman to main event status.

That Bossman is a young up-and-comer, alright.

[Guest yomama]

>Flair's best years were from 35 to 40.

 

Flair won more titles 35-40, but he was a better wrestler 28-32.

 

>Austin had two peaks in his career

 

Actually he had one, from 28 to 32.  

 

>He really peaked in the WWF in 1997 and 2001 when he was healthy.

 

He was at his peak in 1997.  In 2001 he wasn't in his peak, but he was healthy.  He was great, but not as good as 1997, due to him being past his prime.  

 

>the WWE needs to push younger guys like RVD, Booker T, Edge, and Bossman to main event status.

 

None of those guys are young.  Edge and RVD are in their primes.  Edge is 28, RVD is 31.  28-32 is prime.  You have to be 27 and under to be young.  Booker T and Bossman are both past their primes.

This all coming from a guy with a picture of an obviously wasted Scott Hall in his title...

[Guest Brian]

From 1984 to 1989 (and a little later), Flair was the top wrestler in the world. He was changing wrestling matches on many levels, on many fronts and not just in the US. He had more influence in style than anyone else. He was taking the current style to higher levels than before. He had more great matches from this period than any other six year period in his career.

[Guest alfdogg]

The age theory is definitely bullshit, but I don't see HHH reaching his 2000 form again anytime soon.

[Guest AlwaysPissedOff]

Mole, the reason why I flamed that fucktard is because I've had to put up with his prime horseshit on AOHell and am seriously fucking tired of it.

[Guest yomama]

>This all coming from a guy with a picture of an obviously wasted Scott Hall in his title...

 

I have that picture to show people what a washed up and wasted Scott Hall looks like, in case if they haven't seen Scott Hall wasted before.  Scott Hall is 10 years past his prime at the age of 42.

Ric Flair was at his best from February 25, 1977 to February 25, 1982.  From 28-32.  It was harder to notice Flair's greatness then because he was wrestling in mostly tag matches.  But if you really paid attention, Flair was an even better wrestler than in the mid-late 80s.

[Guest AlwaysPissedOff]

Oh God, would you just SHUT THE FUCK UP, YOU INSIPID CUMSTAIN! No one gives a fly high FUCK about your prime bullshit so get the fuck out or I'll have a mod ban your ass, bitch.

[Guest TheDames7]

Just give me the word my friend...i'm trigger happy with this sumbitch.
