10 Most Improved Wrestlers Of 2022
Watching a wrestler reach their potential is one of the most rewarding things about the sport.
There have been many developments in the world of wrestling over the past year, many of which were on a grander scale than the week-to-week ramifications of the sport.
WWE saw a dramatic power shift at the top of the company following Vince McMahon's resignation, while AEW contended with a number of interpersonal issues, which influenced the creative product of both promotions wildly.
Despite all the massive changes wrestling seems to deliver on a daily basis, it is sometimes good to take stock and analyze the performance aspect of the sport that makes it so appealing in the first place.
Watching a performer progress over the course of their career is very rewarding, especially when they manage to reach their potential and become big stars.
Whether it be their in-ring ability or character work that has been improved upon, there have been a number of wrestlers that have come on leaps and bounds over the past year. Their progress is both a credit to the company’s promoting them and the performers themselves for managing to develop in front of a worldwide audience...
10. Dominik Mysterio
Dominik Mysterio still has much to work on from an in-ring viewpoint, but his character has improved substantially by having him turn heel and join the Judgement Day. His knowingly quite poor in-ring performances go together surprisingly well with the arrogant antics of the stable, where Dom has become a subservient figure to his 'Mami' Rhea Ripley.
Ever since the stable transitioned away from the dark and brooding version of its presentation it has benefited all of the members within the group, as all of their personalities have been displayed in a much better way. It has made Rey Mysterio's struggle to try and win his son back feel quite believable, as Dominik has essentially fallen in with the wrong crowd.
If Dominik is to find long-term success on the WWE roster, then his wrestling ability does have to improve - but that doesn't mean he has to reach the level his father set the bar at.
He just has to find a way of wrestling that shows off the personality which he has found as part of Judgment Day.
