10 best current wrestlers you have never heard of

#5 Taiji Ishimori

Ishimori’s abs make suits of armor look flabby

Taiji Ishimori is one of the best cruiserweights active today. He has been a staple of Pro Wrestling NOAH’s junior heavyweight division for years and holds the record for longest single reign as GHC Junior Heavyweight Champion.

While he hasn’t enjoyed the same high-profile fame as his NJPW counterparts like KUSHIDA and Hiromu Takahashi, Ishimori has still proven himself to be one of the biggest stars in Pro Wrestling NOAH. He’s a 3-time GHC Junior Heavyweight Champion, 5-time GHC Junior Heavyweight tag team champion, and has also found success in Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide and the Toryumon promotion.

Ishimori is 34 years old and in the prime of his career. If you want to see a great cruiserweight wrestler that isn’t from the big leagues of WWE or NJPW, I would strongly suggest Ishimori.
