Jeff
No you can't compare their work ethic or what they are able to perform in the ring.
If TNA had champions over 40 who still had the ability to perform at a high level and had a work ethic worthy of a champion I wouldn't mind their ages being over 40.
Unfortunately TNA is choosing guys who are over 40 and have lost their work ethic and ability to perform at a high level (some may never have performed at a very high level). It seems their only criteria for choosing a champion is name recognition. They say "Oh, this guy was famous before, let's make him champion" while they ignore their younger guys who are in their athletic primes of their careers like A,J. Styles and Christopher Daniels.
