I was digging this till I got to #10. I'm done. I hear you, I 100% hear you. Last year in Dallas at Wrestlemania, I actually went to get a beer during his tag match against the Mysterios and I would have done the same thing this year at Wrestlemania in Los Angeles if he was not wrestling Seth Rollins (one of my favorites.) |

I can understand that. Not to mention you are paying to see the show. If it was me I would still watch but hope so bad he lost. If on Raw than it is time to hit the john or get a snack and/or turn the channel. By the way I was happy to see some Impact wrestlers make the list but only KOs. With a limited number you cannot get everyone, but I feel like Ace Austin and/or Trey Miguel could have made the list. |

#9 and #10 are very controversial to say the least.There are a lot of japanese and american women better than Liv Morgan that are under 30.Logan Paul's social media views afford him opportunities other young wrestlers don't get.There are a lot of guys under 30 that are better than him as well.

I couldn't disagree more. I would suggest the only reason Logan Paul is not top 5 on this list is he's considered a celebrity wrestlers who's had a minimal number of matches. |

That's fine, I personally just don't like watching celebrities in the ring even if they have good matches. Speaking of top 5, what in the hell is Dominik Mysterio doing at the number 5 spot? I know he gets nuclear heat every time he tries to talk in the ring but to rank him next to El Hijo del Vikingo? |

In addition, the fact he manages to do whole Dirty Dom convict thing with a straight face shows his ability as a performer. |

If future success is part of it then I can see him being high based on potential and pedigree. |
