A bunch of WCW luchadores are still going. At least part-time if not full-time. Just a few I looked up… Ciclope AKA Halloween: Was going full-time until the last few years. Since Covid it looks like he’s been working a much reduced schedule. Damian 666: Mostly wrestles in tag matches with his son. Tends to wrestle at least once a month though he has missed some months. Juventud Guerrera: Wrestled full-time until 2019. Another one where he hasn’t really wrestled the same schedule since Covid. Lizmark Jr.: Just turned 50 and wrestles a few times a year. Psicosis AKA Nicho: Was VERY active until he slowed down because of yep… you guessed it. The Covid-19 pandemic. Villano IV: Wrestles a few times a year. Villano V looks retired as do the other Villanos though I think only IV and V made it to WCW. Some of the Villano offspring wrestle now. On the puro side Kaz Hayashi is working full-time and currently signed to a promotion named GLEAT. Is La Parka/L.A.Park still active? What about Magnum Tokyo & Cima?

Two of the greatest ever WCW champions have been active recently with well publicised comebacks: Ric Flair and David Arquette.
I don't know what we're considering "full time" in terms of TV matches in 2022, but it feels like Sting wrestles as much as some of the other guys on the AEW roster.

Parka is about as full-time as a 56 year-old freelancer can be. He’s wrestled over 30 matches this year including some for AAA. Magnum Tokyo/Tokyo Magnum retired way back in 2009 despite not being that old. CIMA is still VERY active. He is another guy signed to GLEAT. This year he also wrestled for NJPW and even had some one-off matches for AJPW and GCW of all places when the latter visited Japan. I completely forgot he had a cup of coffee in 1998 WCW.

Ultimo Dragon is still relatively active on Dragon Gate. Including a match at his 35th anniversary show earlier this year with El Hijo del Santo. Yes, that El Hijo del Santo

Damian 666 Also been more a manager in NWA with LA Rebellen. From what I could gather Magnum Tokyo retired in 2009, which was at a young age since he now 49. Cima is really active in Japan. He had about 35 matches this year so still going. He made a couple AEW appearances at Double or Nothing 2019.

He main evented Triple-Mania last weekend losing his mask to Pentagon Jr.

Arn Anderson is still appearing as a manager, which was basically his role by the tail end of WCW.

If we're counting the Toryumon guys, Sumo Fuji (now Don Fujii) is still super-active in Japan, mostly in Dragon Gate.
But I think Little Dragon (Dragon Kid) may be the most active of the ex-WCW guys. He's been wrestling for Dragon Gate exclusively and almost non-stop - the longest break he's ever taken was three months - and he generally averages over 10 matches per month, even though being that it's Dragon Gate most of those matches are 3 vs 3.

Is James Mitchell still managing? Not sure if he's still there but he was managing in the NWA earlier this year. He also pops up in Impact from time to time.
