10 Best Wrestlers Under 25 Years Old In The World Today

8. David Finlay, Jr.

One of the most respected wrestlers of the past generation is David "Fit" Finlay, the Irish star who honed his trade across Europe and in Japan before coming to WCW in the '90s. After he suffered a career-threatening injury, Finlay became a road agent, but in 2006, he came out of retirement to compete on Smackdown! and win the U.S. Title. Today, he's once again a road agent, sharing his wisdom with a younger generation. It should come as no surprise that Finlay's son, David Finlay III (who competes as David Finlay, Jr.) is a talented star in his own right. The 23-year-old junior heavyweight cut his teeth in European and American indies, then debuted for New Japan last year in Best of the Super Juniors XXII. Though he got off to an inauspicious start (opponent Alex Shelley suffered a foot injury in Finlay's debut), he's since racked up an impressive body of work, proving that his future is bright.
