10 Best Wrestlers Over 45 Years Old In The World Today
10. The Undertaker
Though this list is primarily designed to recognize grapplers who still wrestle full-time schedules, it would be impossible to put together such a piece without giving credit to The Undertaker. For over a quarter of a century, The Phenom has been one of the top stars in WWE, and much of his best work has been done in the twilight of his career. Matches with Shawn Michaels, Triple H, and CM Punk in the 2000s and 2010s have helped WrestleMania live up to its reputation in recent years, and while a poor showing in a loss to Brock Lesnar made people question whether 'Taker might be reaching the end of his shelf life, he came back with two classic matches against "The Beast" in 2015. Undertaker will turn 51 on March 24. Less than two weeks later he'll take on Shane McMahon in a marquee bout at WrestleMania 32. It won't be easy, but if anybody can turn that match into a winner, it'll be the conscience of WWE.
