Is he the best TV wrestler on the planet right now?
Amazing stuff by him this year on NXT.

Would be a stone cold lock for Most Underrated if Chris Hero died. I've loved his TV matches enough that if he nabs a Takeover match and performs, I'll feel comfortable putting him firmly in my top tier of guys.

He's been fantastic, I think the only people I could put before him from WWE are Braun and Neville. If you had a spare hour you could watch all these bangers from Oney this year:
- Vs Tyler Bate (NXT ep.233) - Vs Almas (NXT ep.240) - Vs Rich Swann (205 Live ep.19) - Vs McIntyre (NXT ep.243) - Vs Hideo Itami (NXT ep. 251 and 254) - Vs Danny Birch (NXT ep. 257 and 260)
That's ALL he has on the network this year and they're all great. Really interested to see if they team him up with Birch and to see how great they are together.

Great sprint wrestler and has one of the best TV match resumes this year. And even if he gets more screentime than Ohno he's still underutilized. Easy pick and will probably end up somewhere in the middle or upper half.

Great hand to work a fast paced and hard hitting match. Fell like he works in the NXT style perfectly, I have been thinking about someone to pair him with to form a tag team as I think he could excel there as well. Really enjoy seeing him work and looking to see him get even better in the future

Lorcan will probably be the the lowest pushed guy to make the top 25 of my list, and maybe my entire list overall. He's living proof that matches that go 10 minutes or less can be just as good and entertaining as New Japan style 40 minute epics. It's tough narrowing it down to just a few of my favorite matches of his this year because every time he's on TV I'm thoroughly entertained, but if someone put a gun to my head and made me choose I would pick his matches with Drew McIntyre, his first one with Hideo Itami, and the one that just aired tonight against Lars Sullivan as his top ones of the year.

He legitimately doesn't have a televised match I'd consider less than very good.
Two great matches with Itami which realistically are probably two of his best 3 or 4 matches of his entire WWE run.
He had a very good series with Almas who was not over at all, and they still got the matches over. I've seen people call the McIntyre match a MOTYC even if I wouldn't go that far but that was great too.
In addition to his matches with Martin Stone/Burch that helped both guys get over, he just had a match against Lars that is up there with any 5 minute match in history.
So yeah pretty remarkable in 2017 when a guy hits a home run in every single outing, which I can't even say for people who might be "better"

To borrow a line from Holzerman, Oney Lorcan is here for porkin'*.
*porkin' = being the best TV wrestler in the world

Depending on how you view wrestling, Oney Lorcan is a legit #1 contender. IF you are a quality person, no one in wrestling has spent less time in the ring with higher results. No one. Quantity voters will probably have him towards the back of their list, but if value quality then it's real hard not to have Lorcan in your Top 10
