73 years old and he can move like that......And here I am not even mid 30's and I complain when my knee hurts......What a legend this man is.

@@mikeawesome9212 Michael Jackson (November 11, 1949), better known by his ring name Mike Jackson is an American professional wrestler who currently works for Impact Wrestling and the independent circuit in Georgia and Alabama. During the 1970s and 1980s he worked for Georgia Championship Wrestling and a short time with World Championship Wrestling in the 1980s and early 1990s

I can speak for most of us,I pray that I can be in that condition when I'm 73 ,my dad is 73 and is in a home with Dementia that he's had for 2 years, so you gotta respect this man, that's pretty impressive

[@mikeawesome9212]

Respect him because he didn't get dementia like your dad?? So because your Dad has dementia he shouldn't be respected?

[@usernameluis305]

Here's the simple truth of the matter, doctors like to pretend that dementia and stuff just happens. It happens when people live sedentary lives and don't get any exercise to help their brains. People that stay home all the time and don't really do anything except maybe walk sometimes, will end up falling apart. But guys like Mike, they don't just sit around all day. I'm betting when he isn't wrestling he's doing things that keep him moving

[@OnePunchLion]

Most of us can only hope we're still alive at 73, let alone be in that condition.
