Top Ten Wrestlers of 2017

[corndog]

Is it too early? I don't care or think so, no more major New Japan shows, BOLA is over and only one more WWE Smackdown brand "ppv" for the year, I think it's safe to say there isn't much of a chance this list changes before years end.

So who are your top ten best in ring performers of 2017?

Here's mine:

1. Kazuchika Okada
2. AJ Styles
3. Kenny Omega
4. Tomohiro Ishii
5. Tetsuya Naito
6. Hiromu Takahashi
7. Ricochet
8. Kento Miyahara
9. Pete Dunne
10. Zack Sabre Jr.

I know a lot of New Japan guys, but that is just my opinion and it was hard just to narrow it down to ten.

[Johnny Flamingo]

1. Kenny Omega
2. AJ Styles
3. Okada
4. Ishii
5. Ricochet
6. Young Bucks
7. Zach Zabre Jr.
8. Will Ospreay
9. Naito
10.Cody

[HMARK Center]

1. K
2. A
3. Z
4. U
5. C
6. H
7. I
8. K
9. A
10. Okada

...Ok, I suppose that's not entirely right. Not entirely wrong, either, though.

I feel like I haven't caught up enough on Lucha Underground or watched enough WWE and other bigger companies to safely make a top ten list, but since I've mostly watched NJPW and some ROH I'll say that any list would have to include Okada, Omega, and Ishii near the top spots. Good call on Sabre, too, guy brought it in 2017.

[Facetious]

I'm not going to number them because mine is just a general top ten.

Pete Dunne
Ishii
Okada
AJ Styles
Kenny Omega
Matt Riddle
Naito
Ricochet
Keith Lee
Zack Sabre Jr

8. Ricochet
9. Usos

I agree, after the top 5 I was having problems. There were definitely some people like Ospreay, Nagata(just because of his awesome G1) and Scurll I really wanted to put on my list.

[Mayonnaise]

I'm not going to number them. At any point in time I could be swayed to change my mind.

Okada
Omega
Ishii
Naito
Tessa Blanchard
Shane Strickland
AJ Styles
Johnny Mundo
Neville
Miz

Strickland should make every list for the spot at WrestleCircus where he almost won a ladder match by making everyone else dance to “Ain’t Nobody” alone.

Goddammit!

Shane (being a non wrestler) and Jinder (because of the bad title reign) are the only choices on your lists I would seriously raise eyebrows at.

[BRAINFADE]

1. Kenny Omega
2. Kazuchika Okada
3. AJ Styles
4. Tomohiro Ishii
5. Tetsuya Naito
6. Will Ospreay
7. Kento Miyahara
8. Hiroshi Tanahashi
9. Kota Ibushi
10. Neville

Honourable mention to Zack Sabre Jr. and Pete Dunne.

Also, just looked through everybody else's lists. How am I the first to include Hiroshi Tanahashi?? He's been brilliant this year.
