These men were winning titles when most wrestlers are fighting the thought of retirement.

For the sake of keeping the argument relatively simple, this is only being kept to the following title histories: WWWF/WWF/WWE, WCW, ECW, TNA and NWA (from inception until WCW left the fold, and then in their years with TNA only). Also, each person will only be on the list one time, no matter what they did in the past. For example, if Wrestler A won a World Title in one company at 45, and then won another World Title for a different company at 52, his reign at 45 wouldn't count here.
