#76:


79: Jeff Hardy
Score: 22
# of Lists: 3

While the Hardys are unquestionably one of WWE's greatest tag teams, there's no doubt the singles part of Jeff's career adds a lot of weight here too - his ladder match with The Undertaker stands as one of the most memorable matches in Raw history, and his 2008/9 run saw him become the most over act in wrestling for a brief time. That said, his daredevil spots in the early TLC matches are what most will remember Jeff for, and a big part of the reason those matches are legendary.

76 (tie): Lioness Asuka
Score: 23
# of Lists: 1

Not to be confused with WWE's Asuka/Kana [Maniac's Note: I did that. Oops] , Lioness Asuka was one half of The Crush Gals, alongside Chigusa Nagayo. The Crush Gals are one of the most popular teams in Japanese history, with their popularity even translating to other media as the would release a number of singles which would chart in the top 10.

76 (tie): LA Park
Score: 23
# of Lists: 1

Many American fans will know Park(a) from his time in WCW, but while he got over there based on his charisma and some comedy spots, in Mexico he is a true legend and still one of the wildest brawlers around at age 54. His feud with Rush became one of the biggest feuds in lucha in the 2010s, producing wild lucha brawls in promotions all over Mexico spanning a number of years.

76 (tie): Drew McIntyre
Score: 23
# of Lists: 1

The WWE Champion at the time of writing, McIntyre has certainly had an up and down career but he's making the most of his current opportunity. His time outside WWE really benefitted him, as you saw him grow into the babyface ass kicker role he is now portraying on TV, as well as really getting his worker boots on unlike WWE ever enables.

75: Minoru Suzuki
Score: 23
# of Lists: 3

It's easy for Minoru Suzuki to make his character of "legitimate badass" continue to work into his 50s - because it's no character. As one of the co-founders of Pancrase, Suzuki is one of the forefathers of MMA as we know it, including helping to train Ken Shamrock. He would mostly focus on MMA in the 90s, but in 2003 he returned to puro, and ever since has brought his unique legitimacy and aura to all the major Japanese promotions, but is best known for his late career (I'm guessing... who knows with this man) work with NJPW, including the match with Tanahashi which can really be pointed to as the beginning of the rise of NJPW in the West, and his 2014 Match of the Year with AJ Styles which solidified AJ as an NJPW main eventer.

74: Dr Wagner Jr.
Score: 24
# of Lists: 1

The final entrant on the list to only receive a single vote, Wagner is part of the long history of lucha guys being awesome into their 50s, putting on a hammer filled wild main event of TripleMania with Blue Demon Jr. last year.
