10 WWE Legends You Won't Believe Are STILL Wrestling

2. The Sandman

Have you ever heard the Sandman do a shoot interview from years ago?

He erupts in a sort of laughter that can only be described as madness whenever he hears what he finds to be a particularly funny story. You get the distinct impression that he has heard the stories before, but is so addled that he can't remember.

He was as inconsistent as any wrestler ever, depending on how much he had consumed before the bell sounded, and that was in the 1990s. And that was three decades ago, much as the millennial fan believes that the 1970s was three decades ago. No.

You're just getting very old, almost as close to death as you are to your birth, and you're wasting your time arguing online that WWE has a better women's division than AEW for presenting 54 more seconds of it per week.

The Sandman is 60 years old, wrestled at times in 1996 like an octogenarian whose pint you'd spilled, and yet worked meme wrestler The Dilf in April. Dilf played the umpteenth wrestler to disrespect the "legacy of ECW", in front of about 18 people, and ate two kendo stick shots before his opponent just walked out of there and into the night.
