#2 Kazuchika Okada
He is undoubtedly the most decorated Japanese wrestler of the current era, quite possibly of all-time. At the ripe old age of 30 years old, Kazuchika Okada has accomplished everything Japanese professional wrestling has to offer.
To be honest, many, including this writer, are a bit surprised that Okada hasn't at least landed on the WWE radar. But then again, why even consider such a provocative move if you are happy where you are.
Okada ended 2017 as the number one wrestler on the PWI 500 ranking and until his recent loss to Kenny Omega at Dominion 6.9, he was on track to have a repeat performance. Nonetheless, Okada will still be ranked in the top 3 at years end, with a strong chance of fighting his way back into that top spot.
