How old is too old to be wrestling?

Personally I've never seen a good match involving someone over 50, let alone 2 people over 50

I think 50 is a fair cutoff, Hogan was 48 when he wrestled Rock and he probably should have retired soon after, it was the final highlight of his career.

If you can go, you can wrestle. Even then, some guys can get away with doing one-offs here and there. You can say that most guys, nowadays, are probably tapping out at close to 50, but just deciding that all wrestlers should retire by then is completely arbitrary and it truly comes down to each guy.

Jerry Lawler and Ric Flair had a match on a random RAW episode in 2004 and they were both 55 and it was decent enough.

45+ is when you should be winding it up. 50+ should never be full-timers, but I don't mind them having matches here and there as long as they can still move 60+ is the true "never wrestle a real match" age. Vince McMahon is the only person to do fun stuff in the ring at that age.
