My Top 5 Pro Wrestlers Who Defied Age

Intro

To quote a famous Canadian band, time keeps passing by, and wrestlers might regret not spending more time with the fans, but truth be told father time will come for all of us, but in the terms of wrestling retirements, wrestlers don't always know when to say when, so here's my top 5 list of wrestlers who defied age.

5. Chris Jericho.

The term of go away heat, can sometimes marry together perfectly, but in the case of Chris Jericho who's still working at the age of 55 is something that needs to studied. I'm not the biggest fan of Jericho's due to reasons that I can't talk about online, however I can understand why some people hold him in high regard, but quanitity isn't quality.

4 Ric Flair.

I don't know were to start with this guy. His retirement against Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania 24 was perfect, with a fantastic build, with the stipulation that was given to him by He Who Shall Not Be Named, said if he loses another Match he would be gone from the company. He would lose to HBK in what was a highly emotional Match, and that was it he was done at the age of 58. HE WAS DONE AT 58. Yeah he came back two years later and workedfor TNA, at the age of 60, and all the hardwork that he done in lead up to that Mania Match, and that emotional speech he gave on the Monday Night Raw after Mania, were all put out to pasture like Flairs career. His retirement Match from 2022 was embarressment, and don't get me started on his AEW appearances, all of which took place when he was in his early seventies. Flair to me is persona non grata due to alligations that have surfaced about him in 2021.

3 The Undertaker.

I thought this was sad, because when all was said and done. This man was a legend, but in some fans eyes working well into your early 50's in this field is a daunting task, his matches were falling apart in the same way as his body. The days of the golden a performer are something that is cherished by fan Worldwide, but at the Stage of his career when he faced Roman Reigns at Mania 33, at the age of 51 it was a stark reminder of how time isn't a Pro Wrestlers friend.

2. Sting.

Shakespear once wrote. Some men are born into great things, some achieve great things, whilst others have greatness thrust upon them. The Icon Sting is the verbiage of all these words. He paved the way for many Professional Wrestlers to garner respect, because he laid out the pathway. He retired at the age of 64 tagging with his prodigal son Darby Allin, when they beat The Young Bucks at AEW Revolution 2024. All In 2024 seek and destroy, oh my god.

1 Terry Funk.

He'll keep on going forever, forever, forever, forever, forever, forever, forever. God bless you Funker.
