Among the throng of people shouting "YES!" at the rare black hat vs. black hat match was an elderly man, white hair slicked over to the side, black and red rugby shirt adorning his upper body. He had a surly look about him, like a sailor or an old hockey pro from a time long passed. But along with the young kids and the lifer fans from the Attitude Era, he swooped his arm across his chest in uppercutting fashion and in grandfatherly fashion mouthed the affirmative that put the match in stone.
No matter what date was on that man's birth certificate, he had the thrill as if he was standing in the crowds in his youth.
