Top 5 non-WWE wrestlers

#1 Kenny Omega

Enter capti — Kenny 'The Cleaner' Omega.

For nearly two full decades, Kenny Omega has been honing his craft and in doing so, he has essentially become pound-for-pound, the best wrestler on the planet today. With dozens of title victories to his credit, his greatest accolade came recently as he defeated "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada to become the new IWGP World Champion.

Omega has been the most consistent performer of the modern era, both in and out of the ring. With a laundry list of matches that are rated 5-stars or above, Kenny continues to show the wrestling world why he is considered by fans and critics alike to be the current industry standard.

About the author

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.

Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.

Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.

When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
