Why can wrestler’s compete well into their 40s and sometimes 50s and stay in great shape and perform crazy stunts but actual professional athletes rarely play into their even late 30s?

Question

Please don’t just tell me because wrestling is fake because a quick Google search on wrestler’s injuries and you’ll see that it’s definitely not fake all the time and is very dangerous.

In wrestling, you win or lose in accordance with the script. Yes it is dangerous and they injure themselves but they aren’t actually competing, they are working together to put on a show. So you don’t age out of it because the script doesn’t age you out of it.
