Dos Caras is actually still really good, he fought BxB Hulk at a Dragon Gate show I was going to post that match but I couldn't find it, What I mean with this post is which old man could put on a really good and entertaining match at their age for me it is either Dos Caras or Tenryu |

TA-U-EEEEE AKI-RRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
I'm not sure exactly how old he is, but even if he's not technically old enough for this, he sure as hell looks it. Takayama, too, and he's still pretty damned intense.

I voted Ric Flair, he's just more my style, and when he's amped up(like in feuds with Foley, Triple H, Edge) then he's still friggin' awesome as far as I'm concerned. This feud with Kenny I'm not so big about, I think pairing the aged vet with the highflying newcomer creates some awkward chemistry.

My vote went to "other". There's never going to be a better old man wrestler than Terry Funk. He still does moonsaults from ladders for chrissakes.

Tenryu. Hands down. No one else comes close.

Ric Flair looks like a pale shadow of his former self, and sometimes like an entirely different man.
But now and again, you'll see a flash of greatness in a moment during a match or a promo, and see that he still has it after all these years.

I would agree with Terry Funk, he would be my top choice. Back in the day 90-91, I would say Jimmy Snuka, sure he was basically a jobber, but you said someone who could put on good matches. Snuka was into his 50's at this point and he looked awesome to boot and made lots of wrestlers look good, such as Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker etc.

Terry Funk is, like, the fourth greatest American ever...right behind Thomas Jefferson, right before Elvis Presley....

Takayama, too, and he's still pretty damned intense. Yeah I wasn't sure if I should put Misawa, Taue, Kikuchi, Honda. But I don't know if their considered that old Misawa: 44 Taue: 45 Kikuchi: 42 Honda: 43 Takayama: 40 So technically Taue, despite being senior in age in NOAH, isn't really that old. He just looks it. And Takayama....! The guy's only 40 but looks like an oversized Flair, despite still moving well. |

What about Riki Choshu
Chono and Mutoh should be around the same age Misawa and Taue

Mutoh is 40 (I believe)
I'll give it to Terry Funk with Tenryu and Misawa right there. Misawa while relying more on strikes then head dropping suplexes can still have great matches. Ask Marifuji, Morishima, and Kawada.
