10 Best Active Wrestlers Over 40
3. Bobby Lashley
Holy s**t, it's finally happening!
Bobby Lashley's upcoming feud with Brock Lesnar has been years in the making, and by God we are salivating at the mouth. To borrow a phrase, this is gonna be two big, meaty men slapping meat and we are absolutely here for it. (And yes, we know exactly how that sounds).
Of the two men, though, it's Lashley who gets the nod in this list. Brock's star power and wrestling prowess are the stuff of legend, but Lashley deserves serious props for his work this year. Thanks to Lashley's sterling reign as the US Champion, the oft-derided belt finally means something again. Lashley bought a big fight feel to each of his bouts, elevating the title's status to the point where Seth Rollins beating him for it actually felt important. Rollins picking up the strap felt like a significant win for the Architect, rather than a drop down into the midcard, and that's entirely due to Lashley's success in elevating the belt's status.
It's also primed Lashley for the biggest feud of his career, and one that we hope continues far beyond Crown Jewel and into WrestleMania. Let the slaps of these men's meat echo throughout eternity!
