Powers of Pain enforcer The Warlord's name has been wonderfully brought back into wrestling relevance over the past few months thanks to similarly burly AEW anagram Wardlow, though the unscrambled original himself continues to wave his monogrammed trishula on the circuit, at the ripe age of 57.

As wide as he was tall, Terry Szopinski's metal-clad character was one of the many to suspiciously vanish from WWE TV in 1992, right around the time Vince McMahon was staring down the steroid trial. In 1996, he and perpetual partner The Barbarian eventually reunited for the briefest of spells in WCW, before a serious car accident left him with lasting nerve damage, ending his career in an instant.

A comeback attempt in 2001 was cut short by another automobile wreck, which left him practically immobile, but again The Warlord refused to be taken down. Almost two decades letter, albeit a little rounder and a little redder, he's remarkably still active, regularly tagging with big Barb.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
