Im not sure where this WWE youth movement myth comes from in all honesty. I remember hearing about this last year, and being very bored (and sad) I decided to combine the ages of the wrestlers in the main feuds heading into TNAs Final Resolution PPV and WWEs December PPV (not sure what it was called). And guess what? The combined ages of the guys in WWEs main feuds was actually higher than that of the guys in TNAs main feuds.
WWE is not having a youth movement, theyve simply run out of stars and have been forced to put guys in spots they dont deserve. Thats not a youth movement, its poor planning and poor management. Do you honestly believe that if guys like Undertaker, Triple H, Shawn Michaels and Batista were working full time you would have scrubs like the Miz as Champion? Of course not. WWE didnt plan on losing all those guys, so they simply just picked a random member of the roster and gave him the belt (Sheamus, Miz, Swagger etc).
So my answer would be no. TNA should put who they believe are the biggest stars in their top spots, regardless of their age. It doesnt matter if a wrestler is 5 or 55. If hes entertaining and people are interested in his character, he should be put in a prominent spot. There is no point in just getting a load of untalented guys that may be younger just to stay at least were in a youth movement.
TNA is not in the WWEs position to begin with. TNA actually have credible stars, so therefore there is no point in just removing that credible star because someone else is a couple of years younger than him. I couldnt care less whether Mr Anderson was 5 or 55, at the end of the day hes entertaining, therefore he should be in one of the top spots. And to the best of my knowledge, Sting is the only active wrestler that could be considered old.
