10 Best Wrestlers In The World Today Over 40

2. Mil Muertes (41)

Ricky Banderas has become a better wrestler since we saw him years ago in TNA as Judas Mesias, and he’s also turned into one of the best heels in the entire industry.

Banderas has shined in the role of Mil Muertes, and is one of the highlights of Lucha Underground every week. It’s not just that his character is terrifying, it’s that he can back it up in the ring. His matches are brutal, and at times breathtaking. Very few men are able to hand out and take punishment like he does.

Along with Catrina, the duo are a great pairing, and hopefully have years left of stories left to tell between them. This monster, who doesn’t fear death, should be able to continue his reign of terror well into his 40s. Lucky for us, unlucky for his opponents.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
