Finally, you have two of the most jaw-breaking wrestlers in Daniel Bryan and Kazuchika Okada at #1 on the list.

Bryan had dominated ROH to the point where he was regarded as the best in-ring wrestler in the world. The former American Dragon was known as the founding father of ROH before he made the transition to WWE where he also became one of the biggest stars in the WWE after the storyline of the Yes Movement. Now, Bryan is currently the WWE Champion as a heel superstar.

But as for Okada, he was always a great wrestler- but he just didn't have the 'it' factor that was required of him to become a huge star. That was until 2012, where Okada repackaged himself with a new look as he was known as The Rainmaker. And from there, he also went onto conquer NJPW by becoming the Ace of the company and winning multiple World Heavyweight Championships.

Both men are very similar in the fact that they had to change themselves in order to make it in their companies. But at the same time, their differences lie in the fact that their characters are the complete opposite.

The Rainmaker is a fantastic wrestler with a flashy gimmick as he can make it rain with all his money in his pocket, whereas Bryan doesn't care about the money as he is more interested in nature as well as the environment around him.

Bryan & Okada are also two examples of wrestlers who are theoretical with their wrestling styles, as all their moves and finishers make sense. They both know how to work on a certain body part, and if they were ever to compete in a match together- it would simply be a guarantee that they would put on the match of their lives.
