Now, when I say top 10 wrestlers I mean the best in ring performers not the best promo guys or best guys on the mic but strictly wrestling talent. Some of the best promo guys in the business are sure not the best in ring performers in the business. Although Roman Reigns is having the year of his career, I wouldn't necessarily say he's one of the best wrestlers. You can say that for a lot of top guys in m opinion, Bobby Lashley, Roman Reigns, Damian Priest, too be blunt I wouldn't put any of these guys in the Top 10. This is my list of wrestlers strictly in the ring, that night in and night out just put on a fucking show inside the ropes. This isn't anything special, this is just be doing "the eyeball test" and this is who I got as the Top 10 wrestlers in the wrestling industry today. 10) Roman Reigns(WWE) Reigns is easily doing the best work in the ring since he started in the WWE. The current Smackdown Heavyweight Champ is the top dog in WWE and for good reason. In my opinion Paul Heyman has helped with Reigns development so much, whether it be in or out of the ring. To think, if WWE made this heel turn with him and the Uso's 4 years ago like they should have? Man the Tribal Chief would have been one of the most over heels ever. 9) Will Ospreay (NJPW) Night in and night out the aerial assassin puts on an absolute show no matter what company he's wrestling for. No matter who Ospreay is wrestling it's always must see TV. He's had classics with Ricochet, Kota Ibushi, Kenny Omega, Walter and the list can go on or days. Some of the shit this guy does in the ring will leave you jaw dropped and I for one never miss this dude wrestle. 8) Malachi Black (AEW) HOW DID WWE LET THIS GUY GO?!? Formerly Aleister Black in WWE, Black could do anything in the ring. He could do springboards off the rope then two seconds later he'll hit you with a Black Mass finisher. Black is really one of the best all around wrestlers in the entire world and WWE really fucked up letting him go, he is future champion material and it's not even a question. 7) Charlotte Flair (WWE) Charlotte maybe the best women's wrestler of all time. She's an absolute genetic freak, whether it be the moonsault's off the top rope or her incredible feats of strength in the ring, like when she picks up another woman to power bomb her. She really is a pro and I for one cannot remember a bad match that she's had and if there is one I'm sure the fault doesn't lie with her. 6) Kota Ibushi(NJPW) Ibushi is another guy, you can't say it enough. He's been doing it for years and he's just so god damn consistent. He's had legendary feuds with Omega and the bullet club. In NJPW Ibushi is always going to have the time in the ring too, so he can always put on one hell of a match. 5) Drew Mcintyre(WWE) Drew has completely re-invented himself since he first left the WWE and since he's come back he's been an absolute monster. I thought his match this year with Lashley was going to be an absolute shit show going into Mania but it was not that at all. It was honestly one of the better matches of Mania weekend. Unfortunately for him he's in the WWE so he'll be put in more gimmick matches soon while they wait to see what they want to do with him. 4) Jon Moxley I think Mox is an a beast plain and simple. The fact this guy can put on a legit wrestling match one night then go and do that insane death match shit is absolutely ridiculous. He's done everything, won all the belts he could in WWE, won the AEW title, Moxley is a legend and in my opinion I think he's genuinely underrated. 3) Pentagon Jr. (AEW) Pentagon may in fact me a literal insane person. The moves he does to people and to himself in the ring look like they could really paralyze a guy. His hard hitting style is incredible and he compliments it so well with his high flying maneuvers. Pentagon doesn't get his just due in my opinion but I'm hear saying that he's one of the best in the world. 2) Finn Balor(WWE) Most people who know me are gonna consider this a real homer pick, I've been signing Balor's praises since before he was even in the WWE. I think Balor, when given time can put on a match like no other in the industry. Balor is another guy like Pentagon, he can fly in the air or he'll use his sneaky power to deliver a devastating looking move. Balor should be a champ in WWE but it seems every time he gets his hands on a belt it's not long before WWE takes it off of him. 1) Kenny Omega (AEW) I mean, for me this is a layup for #1. I don't really re-call ever seeing a Kenny Omega match that was bad....ever. For Christ sake when he was in NJPW he wrestled a 9 year old girl and he even put that match over big. The Cleaner really is a star and now people in the states are seeing how good this guy really is. With Omega being in AEW he is more accessible to the North American audience than he's ever been and in no way is that a bad thing. He's put on more 5 star matches than anyone ever, not that means much to me because I think most of those rankings by Dave Meltzer are kind of a joke but if anyone deserves 5 stars in most of his matches? It is Omega HONORABLE MENTIONS: Kofi Kingston(WWE) Adam Cole(AEW) Kyle O'Reilly(NXT) Andrade(AEW) Nakamura(WWE) Sami Zayn(WWE) Kevin Owens(WWE) AJ Styles(WWE)
