<p>While any athletic pursuit is believed to be a young man&#8217;s game, every sport has its group of older athletes who constantly defy expectations and punch well above their weight often putting their younger counterparts to shame. Wrestling is no different and today we will look at some of the older wrestlers who are not only wrestling but are still a major force to be reckoned with in the industry.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Luke Harper (38)</strong></h2>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone" src="https://i.imgur.com/FrhVxlk.jpg" /></p>
<p>We begin our list with a man known for his incredible athleticism despite his huge stature. This becomes even more impressing considering how old he is. He had been tearing up the independent scene for a long time before getting recognized by WWE. He is still going strong as one-half of the Smackdown Tag Champions and is easily the best big guy employed by WWE right now.</p>
<p></p>
<h2><strong>Karl Anderson (38)</strong></h2>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/E9R8sVB.jpg" /></p>
<p>Another veteran of the indie scene, he is underutilized in WWE right now but every match he is in and every promo he cuts shows how much talent he still has and how good he is in a match. Even when pushing 40, he can do some incredibly athletic stuff inside the ring.</p>
<p></p>
<h2><strong>Mickie James (38)</strong></h2>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/bGNrz0p.jpg" /></p>
<p>The veteran of the women’s division, age might have slowed her down a bit but she still can have some high octane matches and easily hang in there with the current crop of women wrestlers. She is one of the best utility players the women’s division has and hopefully WWE can give her the sendoff she deserves.</p>
<p></p>
<h2><strong>Samoa Joe (39)</strong></h2>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/H66HWBw.jpg" /></p>
<p>Samoa Joe has already had a storied career. If he were to retire today, he would still go down in history as one of the best wrestlers of all time and yet even at 39 every time he is in the ring he is able to bring an intensity that makes you wonder if the best is still to come. While WWE hasn’t fully exploited his potentials so far, talent like his can’t be suppressed for too long.</p>
<p></p>
<h2><strong>Sheamus (40)</strong></h2>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/tLzN8jC.jpg" /></p>
<p>It only seems like yesterday that Sheamus was taking on the cerebral assassin as a young gun. He is now a veteran and an equally hard-working one at that. His ring work and mic work has come a long way and while he might never be involved in the title picture again, he is still a great asset to the company and a great wrestler of the modern era.</p>
<p></p>
<h2><strong>Jeff Hardy (40)</strong></h2>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/JK6knQr.jpg" /></p>
<p>The younger of the Hardy brothers was never meant to have a long career and somehow he is still here performing in his own unique way. Over the years he has taken some seriously ludicrous bumps and falls that should have ended his career but he is still here and mesmerizing fans of all ages.</p>
<p></p>
<h2><strong>Brock Lesnar (40)</strong></h2>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/VEn6po7.jpg" /></p>
<p>Even though the WWE universe has soured on the beast in recent times, the fact remains that few people can be as scary in the ring as this behemoth. Every time he is in the ring it is nothing short of a battle. It is just a shame that WWE didn’t use him a bit more intelligently rather than using him as a tool to take CM Punk’s name of the record books.</p>
<p></p>
<h2><strong>AJ Styles (41)</strong></h2>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/4LWmkbl.jpg" /></p>
<p>While we all knew that Styles wasn’t a young dude anymore the fluidity with which he moves in the ring and the long matches he is able to take part in at a high pace belies his age. He is arguably one of the best wrestlers of our generation and he is still out there proving this point with almost every match of his being a highly rated one.</p>
<p></p>
<h2><strong>John Cena (41)</strong></h2>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/KPFMdp7.jpg" /></p>
<p>Love him or hate him but few can deny that he was the best in the business for more than a decade. While he has adopted a more part-time approach to his job now, every time his music hits people erupts in cheers and boos. Every time he says something people listen and every time he is in the ring people have taken notice. The fact that he can still run with the best and not only keep up but still command respect at the age of 41 further cements his legacy.</p>
<p></p>
<h2><strong>Matt Hardy (43)</strong></h2>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/HixWax3.jpg" /></p>
<p>That’s right, the older Hardy is really quite old. Few people can say they have achieved what he has. He totally reinvented himself and is still captivating the wrestling world with his broken/woken gimmick. The fact that he gave Bray Wyatt a new leash of life is testament enough to this man’s greatness despite his age.</p>
<p></p>
<h2><strong>Chris Jericho (47)</strong></h2>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/MgzxPo7.jpg" /></p>
<p>He will definitely go down as the most underappreciated wrestler of all time. One of the most talented wrestlers of all time, time and again he has reinvented himself and he has made so many gimmicks successful that he has been the most relevant superstar in every era he competed in. The fact that he is tearing it up with NJPW along with all the other things he does is just amazing and it is hard to believe that this man will be 50 in a couple of years.</p>
<p></p>
<h2><strong>Triple H (48)</strong></h2>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/qoY7i6U.jpg" /></p>
<p>WWE fans are often left dissatisfied with what WWE management does. Thankfully the few good things the product offers is all thanks to this man. NXT is his brainchild while many of the recent returns like Goldberg, Sting, Bret Hart, and Ultimate Warrior were orchestrated by him. Then there is his wrestling capabilities. The Greatest Royal Rumble proved that he is still in great ring shape despite pushing 50. Love him or hate him you have to admire his longevity.</p>
<p></p>
<h2><strong>Shane McMahon (48)</strong></h2>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/JmkqEgw.jpg" /></p>
<p>While he has played spoilsport in many match bookings, the fact still remains that at 48 he has no reason to be flung off the top of a cell and yet he still does it. Many might question his qualifications to be in many of the high-profile matches he has been but few can pull off heart-stopping moments with the regularity that this man can even at this age.</p>
<p></p>
<h2><strong>Kane (51)</strong></h2>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/cHXNK7A.jpg" /></p>
<p>If the recent reunion of Team Hell No is anything to go by then it is that this man is perhaps the most durable wrestler out there. Despite being one of the main pillars of the Attitude Era he has managed to go toe to toe with the best this generation has offered. While he disappears and returns far too often. He can still wrestle and wrestle well.</p>
<p></p>
<h2><strong>The Undertaker (53)</strong></h2>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/HGVWbHV.jpg" /></p>
<p>If The Undertaker retires for sure right now, we as fans would be totally okay with it. This man was there during the first RAW and he still keeps coming back and nothing can match that entrance or his theatrics. While his in-ring abilities have decreased drastically the fact that he still manages to step through the ropes and entertain his legions of fans speaks volumes about the heart this legend possesses.</p>
