10 Best Wrestling Matches For A Free Agent Daniel Bryan

10. Katsuyori Shibata

Daniel Bryan already said that he'd love to compete for New Japan Pro Wrestling, and it's little wonder. Not only has Bryan worked for the company before, but for the past several years, NJPW has been putting out the undisputed best wrestling product on the planet.

To be fair, stepping into a match with former NEVER Openweight Champion Katsuyori Shibata might be the equivalent of Bryan jumping into the deep end of a pool - a former MMA fighter, Shibata is famous for his hard-hitting style and jaw-rattling strikes. Still, when it comes to strikes and submissions - the "Strong Style" that gave New Japan its identity - Bryan is certainly no slouch, and he can trade stiff kicks with the best of them.

They'd have to lay off the head strikes, but just imagining Shibata and Bryan rolling on the mat looking for arm- or leg-locks paints a portrait of a great technical exhibition. There's also the exciting prospect of seeing Bryan avoid a Penalty Kick and roll Shibata up for a long two count - as you can see, there's some thought and logic behind this.
