I remember Shawn Michaels joking during the DX feud that Bret was older than everybody. When this was initially said I didn't think twice about it but then I really started to think:
Bret is a couple years older than Sting and 8 years older than Taker or Shawn.
Bret was wrestling for WWE (WWF) back before Pay Per View was a thing.
Bret was already an adult working as a referee when the first Star Wars came out.
Video game consoles were barely in the second generation when he started wrestling.
Beta Max was still a thing when Bret started wrestling.
Bret was wrestling before rapper's delight came out.
Bret was Wrestling before Vince McMahon (Junior) owned WWE while it was still called WWWF.
Bret was wrestling before Terry Bollea ever became Hulk Hogan.
Bret was present for Ali vs Inoki.
Bret had fought Terry Funk, Ric Flair, Jerry Lawler, and Bob Backlund....as WWE champion already by this point.
Bret wrestled in USWA.
Bret was in WWE wrestling on tv before the first Wrestlemania.
Hart foundation predate the 4 horsemen.
Not only did Bret win the first ladder match in WWE history years before the Wrestlemania one...he wrestled Bad News Brown 9 years earlier in stampede in one as well.
Bret didn't just win King of the ring at the first King of the ring ppv event...he was the king of the ring before years earlier
You get the idea
