#8 Dos Caras

At 68, Dos Caras seems to have still a lot left in the tank. His most active years in pro-wrestling were in the 70s and the 80s. He was a major Champion in the Universal Wrestling Alliance, winning the top title on three separate occasions. Dos Caras is dubbed as "the greatest heavyweight ever to come out of Mexico". He is also the father of former WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio.

Earlier this year, Caras teamed up with real-life brother Mil Mascaras to defeat Kaz Hayashi & NOSAWA at the Giant Baba Memorial Show.

#7 Gillberg

Gillberg (60) was brought in to WWE during the Attitude Era, as a parody of top WCW Superstar Goldberg. Gillberg made several appearances for WWE throughout his wrestling career, and was known for his comedic entrance which was a shot as Goldberg's elaborate entrance in WCW. He made a brief appearance on the Edge and Christian Show back in 2016.

Last year, Gillberg was challenged by former WWE Superstar James Ellsworth for a match, which ended with a loss for Gillberg. The duo went on to team up to win the ACW Tag Team titles. Gillberg recently wrestled Dru Skillz at an independent event named Heroes and Legends 12, on April 20th, albeit in a losing effort.

About the author

Abhilash Mendhe is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda with nearly five years of experience. He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
