5 Best High Flyers In Wrestling Today

3. Dragon Lee

Ospreay Takahashi
CMLL

This 24 year old prodigy is a smash hit in both his native Mexico and in Japan where he enjoyed his first run with the IWGP Junior Heavyweight title earlier this year.

The fan favourite Dragon Lee is a classic Lucha Libre babyface (aka a tecnico) and with good reason. Who on earth could boo the super speed, super high flying version of Lucha Libre he provides? The fearless star’s years long war with Hiromu Takahashi led to some of the most dangerous matches seen anywhere this decade.

Rather tragically, one such match led to 'The Ticking Time Bomb's neck injury that has left him on the shelf to this day. A shame all round and sadly a factor these great workers are always just one slip away from suffering. It’s a reminder of how much even best in the world caliber talent are putting on the line for our entertainment.

Expect more clashes between these two when Takahashi finally returns and expect Dragon Lee to keep claiming accolades as his young career continues to take the world by storm.
