As he should be after the circumstances surrounding his last announcement. Related question, but curious about which of these guys is the MOST active. Any guys wrestling on a weekly or near weekly basis? I'm pretty sure some luchadors are, but am curious about specific guys. If I were to guess, I'd say Ricky Morton has to be pretty damn close if he isn't. I met Ricky a few months ago and asked him if he really does work every weekend. He indicated not just weekends but he's almost always booked for shows on weekdays, too.

Pittsburgh legend Ken Jugan, better known as Lord Zoltan. The guy has been active since 1976. Here he is jobbing to Sgt. Slaughter in 1983... youtu.be/pnxOTDjMkuQ...And here he is last June. It's not the best footage (or promotion, for that matter), but it makes my point.

Mil Mascaras is still doing a handful of matches every year and he's been wrestling since 1964.

I was looking at Cagematch for the HTM/Warrior thread and I went down this rabbit hole so to add, based on the criteria of four matches or more:
Honky Tonk Man Koko Ware Tito Santana Luke Williams Steve Lombardi Tom Brandi Jim Duggan

Now that is just f***ing insane For perspective, my 57 year old father was probably still in diapers when Dory Funk Jr's career started. That is insane. and now near the end of his career, Dory Funk Jr is the one in diapers [/Bobby Heenan]

Oh, Jushin Liger should count, yeah? Since it was based on pre-89 territory I didn't include him in my list. But yeah if you included Japan then he and Muta would both count.

Would Undertaker fall into this category? I know he wrestled for World Class and Memphis before heading to the WWF

Likewise, Bill Eadie. Between Demolition and Masked Superstar, I'd say he hits the number of shows pretty easily. He started wrestling in '73.

Isn't Jerry Lawler still wrestling about every weekend in the Memphis area? I guess in that same vein, I was thinking Greg Valentine, Bill Dundee, and Terry Funk (I know he announced his retirement again, but you know how that goes with him) were still active or semi-active. Lawler and Bill Dundee work at least once match a week. Most of them being in the Memphis area or in North MS. Jimmy Valiant is another. Tracy Smothers,Action Mike Jackson and I am sure there are others I am not thinking about. Before he lost one of his legs Kamala was working at least 6 to 10 times a year.

Doesn't appear to have wrestled since 2010 He worked a tag match for CSP,based in the gulf coast area of AL,back in 2013. That is the newest match I know of from Mr Street. Next time I see him I will ask if he has had a match since then.

Bill Dundee worked only once in 2016 but he did work 4 times in 2015 so he's close. Bill worked at least 2 times in 2016. The Saturday before Labor Day we worked a match in Memphis. Then worked a match in Lula MS the same day. Pretty sure he also worked at least 2 matches in 2016 for OWO.
