While Kenny Omega possesses the over the top theatrics inside the ring, Kazuchika Okada is a classic main event star in Japan, with striking, storytelling and flashy entrances making him a top star. Combine all this with a great look, believability in the main event slot and the amount of incredible bouts with the likes of Omega, Tanahashi, Naito and others, and you've got yourself the best wrestler on the planet today.

The Rainmaker has been the main event at several Wrestle Kingdom events already, and given how much better he continues to get each year, there's no way he will slide off this list anytime soon. Working primarily for New Japan, there's a lot of wrestling fans out there who wouldn't have seen him, but with his classics against Tanahashi and Omega over the past few years, he's got enough great matches to span an entire career, and he's got plenty of time left to improve on that.
