A.M.B.

Given the style of wrestlers dominating this list I'm very surprised Yuji Okabayashi isn't even on there.

What freaky athletic spots was KENTA ever doing in the first place? Seems like his calling has always been aggressive, stiff, strike based matches and he is no less capable of those now. Not that that style really has a place in WWE, but if there was ever a time to bring him in it's definitely now.

Dude is fucking insane and really underrated. He used to take that Nestea Plunge bump into chairs in pretty much every one of his matches. Plus the tope onto a prone opponent. Haven't heard a peep about him in at least 3 or 4 years though.

He's developed a serious physique and has incorporated more strength-based spots into his arsenal lately, and I really dig it. His head kick finisher is awful though. I can easily see him making it to WWE soon enough, even if they've turned him down before.

This is a few years old, but I don't believe it ever made it online until now and it fantastic. So here's some Okabayashi to hold us over for now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMPuuj5zGVE

He came back last week since BJW is really short on talent right now. Sekimoto just returned from a knee injury, Yoshihito, Takeda, and WX are all out with knee injuries, Sasaki having to get another surgery in March. Okabayashi's out as well for about a year with a shoulder injury. So the companies hurting a bit and Pondo doesn't cost much I'm sure.

Ishikawa/Sato make for a great team. Really weird but interesting to see Ito get worked over like that, haven't seen him play such an underdog role in years. And that German on Miyamoto... fuck. Here's another good one from that show. Skip to 11:10 for the rookie face destruction, specifically 11:40 is the most brutal dropkick in the history of brutal dropkicks. Right up there with the famous Gaea Girls one. I can't stop watching. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzy7BNkp_x8
