10 Shocking Wrestler Ages That Will Blow Your Mind

Doc Gallows looks great for 37.

He has washboard abs, a dirty swingin' hog, and a very impressive superkick for a man of his proportions. Motivated to work in AEW, he has already bettered his WWE main roster run with his no-f*cks-given dirty bastard persona and impressive work in unadulterated six-man bangers.

He looked like pure sh*t for 24. He played Festus when he was 24 years old.

Festus of course was the indeterminately dimwitted tag team partner of Jesse - a man who was suddenly responsive upon the ringing of the bell. This led to skits - you were to laugh at this man, obviously - wherein the Miz and Morrison would sound the bell again and again.

In addition to his gargantuan frame, Festus looked old as f*ck because of the messy skullet he rocked. He looked like a large man in his mid-40s who had never once entertained the idea of shaving his head. He had what he had and he was pleased enough with it, thank you very much. He also wasn't in the tidy shape he's in now, further ageing himself with the "Ah f*ck it" indiscipline that comes with a live half-lived.
