Current Fave Five?

[EZ: Brainy Bae]

Which wrestlers are you interested in following the most? Whether it's because they're on a hot streak or you're invested in them getting back to relevance or enjoy their work even if they're getting the shaft.

1) Jay White

He's the best heel on the planet and heels have always been funner to watch for me. Everything has finally gelled together this year regarding his character, look and in-ring work. Even if he walks out of WK without a title it looks like he's in firm position to be NJPW's potential first "dark ace" (at least as far as I've been watching).

2) Chris Jericho

Sleazy roughneck rock-dad Jericho is quickly becoming my favorite incarnation of his character. Having his own stable and the creative freedom AEW allows has skyrocketed my interest further, in turn making me curious following how the win standings to see who his future challengers could be. Geez, what a concept.

3) Tetsuya Naito

I'm willfully skeptical and not getting my hopes up about the double title storyline. Still, he's who I'd like to see on top for at least a little while so I'm invested in what he's up to. His body does seem to be slowing down some but from the bouts with Shingo, White and Ibushi he's shown he can still go. If he were to not reach the pinnacle or even sniff it then I'd be very curious how they'd work that into an LIJ storyline with an emerging EVIL and SANADA.

4) Daniel Bryan

My interest in the WWE main roster is probably as low as it's ever been, but Bryan still knocks everything out of the park and the inkling of a potential slow face turn and feud with Nakamura (who may be starting to be taken seriously again) has me curious. Ironically it helps that he's not appearing often enough to be ruined.

5) Tomohiro Ishii

Guy is probably the most consistently entertaining wrestler in between the ropes. Besides that, I really want him to get a USA or IC title shot in the next year.

1. Cody (Rhodes)
- Wrestling's #1 babyface/golden child at the moment, clearly building himself in the dumb as Sting position with MJF and Brandi being clear heels.

2. Kofi Kingston
- Only to see if they give him some kind of closure to his title reign instead of flat out ignoring it.

3. Private Party
- young tag team with ALOT of upside. Once they get pacing and psychology down, they can really be something.

4. Tessa Blanchard
- THE BEST Women's wrestler on the planet, bar none. I'm keeping a close eye to see if she becomes the pillar for AEW, or chases those money dream matches in the WWE.

5. Velveteen Dream
- the last true "homegrown" product in wrestling imo, i'm just chomping at the bit to see his act on the main roster. I think his gimmick can survive the butchery of mondays and fridays.

[Dang!]

1) Chris Jericho. His current GIGA TROLL persona is yet another new level of Jericho greatness. I love and hate him at the same time.

2) MJF. Just like Jericho, I love and hate him at the same time. He just has me hooked.

3) Kenny Omega. Where does he go from now? Other than being interested in his character development I also like his in-ring style very much.

4) Adam Page. Same like Omega: Where does he go now? Will he turn? How will he develop in AEW? Great potential.

5) Lucha Bros. I wasn't interested that much in them, but they have won me over and really look like stars and the greatest tag team out there.

1. Joey Janela

Dude reminds me of 90's WCW Chris Jericho with more of a hardcore edge.

2. Pentagon Jr.

I've loved this dude since Lucha Underground. I'm glad to see him making it in a big time mainstream promotion.

3. Chris Jericho

I usually hate when guys from the past are still around, especially in the main event scene, but he does such a great job at reinventing himself that it never feels like the same old shit.

4. MJF

Best heel in the business, it's that simple. And the fact that he's friends with a face but still acts like a heel gives his character a little dimension.

5. Jon Moxley

He just comes across as a legit badass who doesn't give a f*** like Steve Austin. Also, he's great at being sort of a tweener. We don't have enough tweeners these days.


I just realized everyone I listed is in AEW.

[Viking Hall]

1. Chris Jericho - On the best run of his career (in a career that's rammed with highlights) and seems intent on cementing his status as one of, if not the greatest of all time. Watching this run is one of those once in a generation situations.

2. Pentagon Jr. - Can't see his face and can't understand much of what he says but he gets me invested in every match he's in. Might just be the most badass wrestler on the planet right now.

3. PAC - Absolute miserable bastard and I love it. Seems to be reinventing what it is to be a high flying wrestler in 2019 by making every spot matter. Might be the most believable character in wrestling right now.

4. Cody - He just makes stuff matter. Brings a big match feel to even throwaway TV matches and is spearheading the most important movement we've had in wrestling in decades.

5. Orange Cassidy - Total opposite to just about everyone else on my list but someone I just can't help but love. Totally ridiculous but in the best possible way. Can't wait to see him featured more heavily on AEW.

Honourable mentions: Joey Janela, Marko Stunt, MJF and Darby Allin.

Kenny Omega
Pentagon Jr.
Chris Jericho
Naito
Young Bucks
Rhea Ripley

Yeah it’s 6, but these are the ones that I am most interested in and consider my favs.

[toodarkmark]

1. Cody

Everything I want out of wrestling.

2. Orange Cassidy

I enjoy laughing. He's also a pretty good wrestler, when given the chance.

3. Pentagon Jr.

I mark out when he does Cero Miedo gimmick, and I enjoy every single match he has.

4. Sasha Banks

I don't watch much WWE, but she's just been up there since her match with Bailey in 2015.

5. Sammy Guevera

I've recently started really enjoying everything about him. Pac and Naito are close to 5 though.

[Ultimo Gallos]

1.Mance Warner-Good in the ring,good on the mic and such a great character.
2.Ishii-he is the reason I do not miss NJPW each week.
3.WATTS-Yep Eric Watts from Tough Enough. Been loving him in CWFH and Bar Wrestling. Surprised he hasn't been signed by a bigger group.
4.Jerry Lawler-DUde still has it. Seen him live in the past few years and he knows how to work a crowd. Which sadly seems to be a skill not taught in WWE anymore.
5.Lukas Frost-Frostie is the main reason I keep up with SWA.Which besides Frost and 3 others is one of the worst feds to have TV.

[Bub (BLM)]

1. Jay White

This dude is the best shit talker in wrestling today. He's so good at being a heel that I cheer when he loses. Epitome of "love to hate".

2. Jon Moxley

I love no-nonsense bruisers when they feel genuine. Mox feels genuine.

3. Young Bucks

I enjoy their antics, and their matches are something else to watch. Seem like good chaps, too.

4. Asuka

Bad booking will never bump her from my fave five.

5. Daniel Bryan

Ditto.
