    @dogmeat I will bow to your superior knowledge (age). I'm too young to know who those guys are, Misbah was the only one that stood out to me 🙂

    @dogmeat Close was an obvious choice after Cowdrey worked so well vs Lillee and Thomson the year before.

    Presumably, they thought that at 43 all Colin was lacking was a bit of experience! 🙂

    I haven't watched much of it this year, but from the snippets I've seen, it looks like Father Time is well and truly catching up with him on the field.

    Hogg still signs a mean autograph for his age 😊

    Hogg was never a good fielder. He's still bloody handy with the ball though.

    The Nature Boy was the Intercontinental Champion at 56!

    WHOOO!

    Honky Tonk Man held that until the Warrior wasted him in the late 80s.

    Honky says he suggested a 30 second thrashing because Warrior was dangerous in the ring, so he didn't want to spend any more time than he had to.

    Someone mentioned Demolition as still wrestling, One Man Gang (aka Akeem), Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Powers of Pain, Haku, Rikishi, Brutus the Barber Beefcake and Tito Santana also still lace up the boots occasionally.

    @Godder check this out at about 1.49. Honky Tonk moves so as it's easier for the Warrior to put on the big splash hahahaha. Gosh wrestling was a great laugh....

    One of the best videos to show kids that it's more theatre than fighting.

    I've been youtubing a few old classics. Geez Andre was a ( massive ) waste of space towards the end of his career. He could barely walk let alone actually wrestle.
