Hmm...looks like he has his eyes on Hollywood more than the WWE. And his social media presence? Are you kidding me kid. Maybe a few months feuding with Adam Rose and Stardust will get this guy's head on straight

Rocky Maivia forgets to shake Triple H's hand, gets subsequently murdered by everyone forever even more.

In fairness, 400 year old people go over everyone today so it's a decent question.

It's a fair point. He was still in good condition and a solid worker at the time, and it's not like WWE doesn't consistently push far worse guys in their 40s at main event level because nostalgia draws. Granted Perfect never reached that level in his early run but in-ring he was miles ahead of Hogan.

When did the general idea that your 40s was nostalgia/retirement age, instead of your peak drawing age set in?

He had a huge coke problem at the time, and he was part of the flight from hell.

STOP DOING HEROIN
Vince put Savage on the announce desk because he thought the 39-year-old was getting too old to draw. This was less than a year after he got the best match of Warrior's career.

Whenever I watch Baba matches I find the claim that he was "awful" in the ring to be bullshit.
Clumsy? Sure. But the man could have a good match.
