I was going to see Luke for the first time in April 2016 but he tore his ACL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Hero vs. Scurll had a few awkward moments but was otherwise a thriller. Holy shit, Hero is on fire right now. He also hit a better running headscissors than Matt Sydal in a recentish tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely forgot about mentioning Harper due to his injury. If he were healthy, abso-fucking-lutely. His treatment and the treatment of the Wyatt's in general is fucking criminal. The cult leader and his followers should have been a fucking grand slam. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T. Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 AJ Styles Sasha Banks Roderick Strong (grudgingly admitting that Roddy is solid, consistent, and best of all isn't always injured) Chris Hero Samoa Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 On 18/08/2016 at 11:08 AM, The Natural said: Interesting question. I've come up with: AJ Styles Samoa Joe Sasha Banks Bayley John Cena Out of my five, AJ has a lock on #1. AJ Styles debut in the Royal Rumble match, the Chris Jericho series is Jericho's finest WWE return in ages and AJ has two MOTY candidates with Roman Reigns at Payback and Extreme Rules. The Payback match has one of the best table spots ever and the Extreme Rules match is brilliant with AJ's bumps and a holy shit Spear from Roman. The only WWE match I have above Reigns/Styles at Extreme Rules is Shinsuke Nakmaura vs. Sami Zayn at NXT TakeOver: Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammo~! Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I haven't watched much Impact, but I've caught a handful of episodes since The Hardys started their insane storyline. I don't think I've seen a Lashley match outside of his WWE run, but he's been the guy on Impact TV that's given the 10 minute promo segment every week and he's become a good, but in my opinion not great, promo. I'm really curious how he's evolved as a wrestler to be considered a top 5 US guy. What are some matches you can point me to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacelle Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I'd recommend his matches with James Storm, Eddie Edwards, Drew Galloway & EC3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCM Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 If Kendrick keeps wrestling at the level he has so far in the CWC he's going to make my top 5. After Takeover I think Dawson is a lock for my top 5. AJ has got to be #1 right now(when he's not wrestling epic match John). I'd go AJ, Joe, Dawson, Rey Jr, and Sasha.

Boydy Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I would say for me in no particular order Hero Ricochet AJ Styles John Cena Bobby Lashley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Conn Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I'll admit I haven't watched any of Lashley since his 2014 return. But he got good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Sugar Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I feel Lashley still needs to be protected so to call him a top worker is a bit much. He feels like modern-day Lex Luger to me: looks great, can go...but if he's not wrestling a top guy, his matches suffer. For example, I felt he was lost in that Ironman Match with Edwards. Like that's too much for Lashley at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Conn Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Funny I just watched Bobby Lashley vs Rush on Lucha Azteca. And your right when protected Lashley looks great and can have a good match. They kept it in the ring and mat based as to accentuate Lashley's positives before Lashly won with a spear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest my top 10 would be interesting. Probably Bayley at 8, Rey at 9, and Becky or Sasha at 10, maybe? Man, two years on the main roster hasn't done Becky or Sasha any favors. Still like both, but, if I'm picking a top 10 US today, I wouldn't give Sasha or Becky much thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 Looking at it now the list is probably Styles Hero Miz Riddle And then y'all can fight over the 5th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Becky is not American born, so should not receive much thought for best active American born wrestler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
