Kento Miyahara

My number 7 for last year is again in the running for a top 10 spot. Remains a consistently good singles worker and is undoubtedly one of the best big match wrestlers in the world. His tag team work with Yoshitatsu was also strong, particularly the Yokohama Blues match against the Violent Giants. That being said, he's still an incredibly formulaic wrestler and sells next to nothing when it comes to limb damage during his comeback sequences (as good as they are). For all of the criticisms regarding Okada and Omega being one-speed workers, Kento is surprisingly exempt in a lot of them despite arguably being a bigger perpetrator. But that's not to say he doesn't have some varied performances to his name. The Yuji Hino matches in particular were great underdog performances where he was forced to rely on his wits and grit as opposed to his explosive athleticism. And while the lack of arm selling was a bit egregious during the Mashimo match, it was still a really fun clash of styles. 

At the end of the day, the guy just doesn't have bad matches and while not a number 1 contender, will still finish high.
