Favorite top 5 current wrestlers:

[Nameless Ghoul]

It's clear that the sport/art is in a transitional phase..so given its current condition, who would you choose to lead your promotion *Top 5, any company in the world?: I would go Brock Lesnar, Kevin Owens , Bryan Danielson,Darby Allen, and I guess Roman Reigns, I was torn to choose Rollins or Moxley ...but his dominance needs to be respected.

 

[Sara]

Roman Reigns, Kenny Omega, Kyle and Bobby, FTR, and Eddie Kingston.

I know I counted tag teams as one, but I wouldn’t like them solo

 

[The Solid Man]

I'm starting an all women's promotion with my first 5 picks having an age limit of 30-years-old in the interest of building around them long term. So, based on overall upside (age/experience) and my own personal taste, I'm going with...

Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. (30/6)
Giulia (27/4)
Sasha Banks (29/11)
Shotzi Blackheart (29/7)
Toni Storm (26/12)

*Hana Kimura would have been an absolute must have if not for her tragic passing.

*Anna Jay is too young and inexperienced to be first 5 right now, but as an investment in the future, she'd be a no-brainer.

*Mina Shirakawa would be my personal assistant to help get a load off all that very important promoting and booking stuff I'd have to do.

 

[D.R.H.]

Brock
Okada
Rex Steiner
Tony D
Asuka

That's my starting line up. Some established names to draw first time interest and some future prospects I can make something out of.

 

[SocraticMethod]

Kevin Owens
Bryan Danielson
CM Punk
Darby Allin
Lucha Brothers*

I know they're a tag team, but screw you.

Depending on the day of the week: Brock, Mox or Jericho could have slipped in there.

And even though you didn't ask, I'll list my top 5 favorite women as well:

Becky Lynch
Liv Morgan
Dr. Britt Baker, DMD
Anna Jay
Alexa Bliss*

*As Alexa Bliss, not Spooky Ms. Fiend.

Ripley's god awful booking knocked her out of the top 5.

 

[SaigeVanZant]

Wardlow
Kenny
Mr. Mayhem
CM Punk
The War Dog

 

[borntoloseNOT]

Janela
Evil Uno
Omos
Christian
Brandi Rhodes

I know, I know, all established stars but I give the people what they want

 

[Small Town Andrew]

Samoa Joe

The Briscoe brothers

Bryan Danielson

Claudio Castagnolli

Brock Lesnar
Honorable mention: CM Punk, El Generico and Lashley

A lot of the older guys and people I loved in ROH. I dont want to disparage the current product in wrestling but it's just not my style and that's ok. I still watch RR, wrestlemania and summerslam and I always try to follow along during wrestlemania season.

Last year I watched Mania and was like that wasnt bad. I tried to watch Raw the next night and got about an hour and a half in and was so bored I realized that was a mistake. lol

 

[catchwrestle]

MJF
Bryan Danielson
Brock
Bron Breakker
Walter

 

[White Whale]

Walter for his stiff and believable style.

Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch for the same reason above. Ilja Dragunov can also be placed here.

EVIL for entertaining character and solid matches.

Okada for good matches and solid gimmick.

Bron Breakker for good matches and having huge future potential.

 

[The Clinch]

Thunder Rosa
Shingo Takagi
Bryan Danielson
Kenny Omega
Brody King

HM: Willow Nightingale, Big E, AJ Styles

***edit: PAC as another HM, shit, maybe wouldn't have forgotten if he showed up more than once a month.

Also, almost added Penta earlier but saved this list from predominate tag teamers.

 

[Based God]

Shingo Takagi
Bryan Danielson
Penta El Cero M
Kota Ibushi
Katsuyori Shibata

 

[Nameless Ghoul]

Honorable Mention: There is an undeniable character factor with Danhausen as far as charisma/Keeping Kayfabe that regardless of in-ring work,
he's solid enough,,.and then add in everything else that he brings to the table via social media. It's definitely something that you need to draw eyeballs for the product. Also watching interviews with Donovan Danhausen out of "character", he seems like a cool, normal creative dude. Which reminds me of my friends growing up, and we tried to make bands/movies all the time. I respect anyone who has a creative vision, and he made it work.

 

[A Pennysworth]

PAC
CM Punk
Danhausen
Eddie Kingston
Malaki Black.

 

[CrippleWerk]

Brock
MJF
Bryan Danielson
Rex Steiner
Eddie Kingston or Moxley or Kevin Owens

 

[SocraticMethod]

For anyone curious about the future of our great sport, I asked LTR for his list:

Jericho
Mox
Lucha Brothers*
Sammy Guevara
Orange Cassidy**

Not a single WWE name on his list. Wake up, Vince!

*Look at him putting the best tag team in the world down as a single entity just like his old man.
**He initially said AJ Styles, but then quickly changed it to put OC above him. Seems like just yesterday he was the biggest KO mark in the world.

 

[CrippleWerk]

Jericho - future?

 

[Batjester]

Jericho - future?

We're all gonna die soon.

 

[El Dandy]

KO
Walter
Thunder Rosa
Sami Zayn
AJ Styles

 

[SocraticMethod]

Jericho - future?

LTR is the future, not Jericho. It's a glimpse into what the future of our great sport is into.
