- Will Ospreay (NJPW / AEW) The last time we saw a year like Will Ospreay’s 2023 was the halcyon days of the territories, with Ric Flair barnstorming across the country as the NWA World’s Heavyweight Champion.
- Bryan Danielson (AEW) The greatness of Bryan Danielson is proven in that he didn’t need to be healthy for all 12 months to make it to number two on this list.
- Kento Miyahara (AJPW) While Miyahara has been on top of All Japan since 2016, in 2023 he helped to lead it to a resurgence after some weak years battered the company during the pandemic, and Miyhara didn’t even have to dominate the Triple Crown to make it happen.
- Jon Moxley (AEW) Jon Moxley continues to be the heart of AEW, bringing the violence to all of his work. Whether it be the Texas Death match at Revolution against Adam Page, his role in six man tags such as the NEVER Openweight Six Man Tag Team Championship match at Dominion or the Jay Briscoe tribute match at Fight Without Honor, or establishing Orange Cassidy as a legitimate main event threat in All Out’s main event, Moxley brings an intensity to that ring every time out that’s rare in modern wrestling.

50. Jamie Hayter
A natural in every aspect of being a pro wrestler, Hayter’s performances won her a groundswell of support from fans this year. Was consistently the best in-ring amongst AEW’s Women’s division, and for all the talk of others having the star power – it’s Hayter who truly comes across like a star in an organic and meaningful way. Best bouts were against Toni Storm, Hikaru Shida, and Willow Nightingale – all of which tore the house down, and Hayter was dripping confidence every step of the way. (AC)
49. MIRAI
For whatever reason, MIRAI has gotten a baffling amount of derision since her jump from TJPW to STARDOM. Maybe it’s because her look isn’t what STARDOM has been going for lately. Nor is her powerhouse style with technical elements, which isn’t as flashy as others in STARDOM. However, she has proven to be a dependable workhorse and was one of the most unexpected highlights of STARDOM in 2022 including winning the Cinderella Tournament. Her haters are now in the mud. She is a throwback to a rou...
48. Takuma Fujiwara
The Iwate-born prodigy had barely wrestled ten matches when last year’s list came out. Fujiwara had a rookie year that should be compared with the likes of Jun Akiyama and Kurt Angle. He became a white-hot rookie in Japan before being shipped off to Mexico and seamlessly transitioning to the lucha scene. Whether it’s a Brave Gate challenge against Dragon Dia, a Korakuen singles bout with Diamante or even mixing it up with Microman, Takuma tackles every new challenge with enthusiasm and confid...
Atlantis Jr
The breakout star of the year for CMLL had a great summer run capped off by a thrilling mask vs mask match victory over Stuka Jr, which was one of the must-watch matches of 2022. (JL)
Komander
One of the only good things about the US indie scene this year was that they helped shine a spotlight on Komander. Whether it was AAA, Big Lucha, or lesser US indie promotions, the 24-year-old routinely pumped out “gif-worthy” spots en route to great matches. (CL)
Cash Wheeler
FTR Hair doesn’t have the outstanding singles resume of his partner, but he deserves mention based on his tag work alone, as FTR was the runaway pick for tag team of the year. (JL)
