10 Wrestlers Who Still Kicked Ass In Their 50s

While Chris Jericho is not far into his fifties, he still deserves a tonne of credit for being an aged performer who frequently main events a massive promotion. AEW has fully given Jericho a new lease on life, as the lack of scripting and chance to be utterly creative has given fans yet another incarnation of the legendary figure, and things seem set to stay that way for some time.

He has slowed up inside the ring, as the inaugural Undisputed Champion wrestles in a much slower pace than his earlier years. This is hardly surprising thanks to the highly intense matches of his youth, but whenever his weaknesses begin to show, Jericho pulls all the stops to make you ignore them.

His personality and charisma have taken full control, and this allows his matches to be fascinating and impressive, as Y2J's storytelling quality is through the roof. Despite his slower in-ring work, he can still wrestle circles around a lot of his contemporaries, and it's doubtful that he will decide to call it a day anytime soon.
