Sports The Real-Life ‘Wrestler’: 5 Fighters Who Won’t Retire

Tights make it very difficult for old wrestlers to wear diapers discreetly.

In The Wrestler, Darren Aronofsky’s awesome new film, beat-up, has-been actor Mickey Rourke plays Randy “The Ram” Robinson, a beat-up, has-been wrestler who was big shit in the ’80s but now fights in school gyms and can barely manage to pay rent on his trailer home. At one point, Ram describes himself as “an old broken down piece of meat.”

Sadly, too many real-life fake wrestlers stick around the ring past their prime, when their meat has gone wrinkly and rancid. In honor of this award-worthy flick, check out five real old-ass fake wrestlers who should go down for the count and throw themselves wholeheartedly into retirement.
