#1 Goldberg - 30

While many claim professional wrestling to be a young man’s ‘sport’, the number one pick on this list would be living proof of that being a misconception. Goldberg will go down as one of the most iconic wrestlers in the history of the business, and he only harboured thoughts about getting into the business at the age of 30!

Not everyone is happy with Triple H in the WWE Hall of Fame

Goldberg played in the NFL and the CFL, before suffering a serious injury that cut his footballing career short. Goldberg then took to weightlifting and dabbling in mixed martial arts, before deciding to head down to the WCW Power Plant to see if he could make something of himself in the professional wrestling business.

What followed was the historic undefeated streak, leading up to his highly anticipated showdown with “Hollywood” Hulk Hogan, during which he won his first WCW World Heavyweight Championship. Nearly two decades after breaking into the business, Goldberg returned to WWE at the age of 50, winning the Universal Championship and headlining WrestleMania!
