Kenny Omega

Kenny Omega and Okada became internet darlings after their five-star match early in 2017. Then rumours swirled of him jumping ship to the WWE and appearing at the Royal Rumble.

Then he re-signed with New Japan, and gained championship gold. In 2017, Kenny had 52 wins and 82 losses. Not a great grade.

Will John Cena beat Ric Flair's record? A former WCW Champion thinks so HERE

Win/Loss Grade: D

When it comes to championship gold, Omega has the goods. He captured the IWGP US championship in June and has been holding onto it with a steel-gauntlet covered fist.

Championship Grade: B

Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho recently entered a feud both in the ring and social media. This combined with the 'will he or won't he' tension around his speculated Rumble appearance give Kenny good marks.

However, outside the wrestling business, it's a good bet he's obscure.

Cross-Media Appeal: C
