10 Wrestling Images That Will Make You Feel Really Old

2. Baby Beast

Brock Lesnar
Sh*tloads of Wrestling

Speaking of 12-year-olds (great segue, I know), the young man in that picture - the one right up there, who looks like he's being questioned in connection with a string of cat decapitations - is that very same age. It was taken on 24 March 1991 - the same day as WrestleMania VII.

While that show was a flop overall, it's notable for a couple of reasons - not the least of which is that The Undertaker made his WrestleMania debut, defeating Jimmy Snuka to begin the famous 'streak'. Now look closer at the boy in the picture - he seems disturbed, but focused, as if he's experiencing a call to action from the universe, a realization of his life's plan. That's because 23 years later, that boy would end the streak, halting it after 21 straight victories.

Yes, that's a young Brock Lesnar, photographed on the very same day that Undertaker scored his first WrestleMania win. That hammers home the fact that The Undertaker has been around a really long time. We were kids when he debuted, and now we're old - and he's still in better shape than we are.
