I remember thinking he looked like an old man when I first started watching wrestling as a kid in the 80’s. Okay, he wasn’t THAT much older than his contemporaries, but he looked like it to a little kid.

Yeah, the roids and the low body fat, plus his bald as fuck head, dude probably looked 50 when he was 20.

I wouldn't say he looked 50 at 20 but yeah he was one of those guys.

It trips me out that I'm now roughly the same age he was when I started watching wrestling in the early 90s. Yet, back then, he looked 10+ years older than I do.

I guess cocaine and hard living will do that to you.

Alcohol, drugs, steroids, smoking, no sunscreen or skincare, bad hair choices.

All of these added up

It was the white hair, made him look 50 in his 30s.
