10 Wrestlers Who Had A Late Career Renaissance
10 wrestlers who enjoyed a late career renaissance
3. PCO
In 1995, Pierre Carl Ouellet feuded with Bret Hart over a jacket. In 2019, he won the Ring of Honor World Championship. The man now known as PCO first rose to mainstream prominence as one-half of The Quebecers alongside Jacques Rougeau, filling out the WWE tag team division in the early and mid-90s.
After years of bouncing around from company to company, having brief and forgettable stints in almost every major promotion, PCO decided that the only way he was going to reach his potential was to go absolutely bonkers. Rebranding himself as the “French Frankenstein”, the ageing star took on the gimmick of a monstrous creature, undeterred by pain or injury.
His acclaimed match with WALTER at Joey Janela’s Spring Break in 2018 earned him the best reviews of his career, which led to him signing with ROH, where he won six-man and tag team gold before finally getting his hands on the big one at the age of 51.
