What about Lou Thesz? Didn't he carry on almost up to his death?

--EDIT-- Apparently not. But still has a good score.

Thesz wrestled on a part-time basis over the next 13+ years, winning his last major Title in 1978, in Mexico, becoming the inaugural Universal Wrestling Alliance Heavyweight Champion at the age of 62. He dropped the title to El Canek in 1979. He officially retired in 1979, after a match with Luke Graham. He stayed retired for the most part, before wrestling his last match in 1990, at the age of 74, against his protege, Masahiro Chono.
