#8. WWE Hall of Famer Booker T

Despite being 56 years old, WWE Hall of Famer Booker T is in great shape. The former King of the Ring kicked off his wrestling career in 1989 before joining WCW in 1993. In WCW, Booker T became a top star and won multiple championships.

After WWE purchased WCW, Booker T moved to Vince McMahon's company. There, the 56-year-old became a Triple Crown and Grand Slam Champion. Booker left WWE in 2007 and spent a few years wrestling in TNA and other promotions. He then returned to WWE in 2011.

In 2012, Booker T decided to hang up his boots. In his last televised match, he teamed up with Kofi Kingston, R-Truth, Santino Marella, The Great Khali, and Zack Ryder to face David Otunga, Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre, Jack Swagger, Mark Henry, and The Miz at WrestleMania XXVIII. The WWE Hall of Famer's team lost the match.

Since his retirement, the former World Heavyweight Champion has played several roles in WWE, including becoming a color commentator and pre-show panelist.

Booker T now owns a wrestling promotion called Reality of Wrestling. In 2020, the 56-year-old competed in a tag team match during a Reality of Wrestling event.


#7. Former WWE Superstar Sharmell

Like her husband Booker T, former WWE Superstar Sharmell is in great shape despite turning 50. The 1991 Miss Black America joined WCW in 1999 to become a Nitro girl. She spent nearly two years in WCW before joining WWE in 2001.

Sharmell's first WWE run lasted only a few months. She suffered an injury that forced her to stay away from in-ring competition. The 50-year-old then became a backstage interviewer for a short period before retiring from pro wrestling.

A few years later, she returned to WWE to become her Booker T's valet. During her second WWE run, Sharmell competed in three matches alongside her husband.

In 2007, Sharmell and Booker T left WWE and joined TNA. There, she competed in a few matches before hanging up her boots in 2009.

Despite being away from the ring for 12 years, the 57-year-old has been taking good care of her body. She regularly posts photos of herself on her Instagram account, in which she looks in phenomenal shape.
