Perhaps this is a cop out, as Diamond Dallas Page was already 33 years old by the time he debuted as a professional wrestler, so of course he'd passed 40 by the time he'd put all the pieces together. Regardless, despite this late start, Page had developed into a strong all-rounder for WCW in the mid/late-'90s, with the bulk of his best work taking place after entering his fourth decade..

His matches with Raven, Sting, and Randy Savage stand as his most acclaimed, but while DDP was never a workrate machine, he rarely had a bad match after finding his feet as a performer. His charisma was on point, too, and his inspirational journey to the top as an older guy made him wrestling's real people's champion.

Page's WWE run didn't deliver, but the same can be said for most post-Invasion WCW imports. He was already 45 by the time he joined the sport's biggest promotion, and only wrestled sporadically after leaving the company in 2002. Now, he's doing God's work with his DDP Yoga program, and is a rightful WWE Hall of Famer.
