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.

What they do isn’t actually harmful, sometimes they get hurt and accidents happen, but it’s not real fighting and they aren’t really hurting each other. It’s designed to look that way.
