5 Best High Flyers In Wrestling Today

5. El Phantasmo

Boasting the supremely arrogant attitude mandatory for all Bullet Club members, the Canadian born lucha libre maestro has taken New Japan by storm with his slick, high octane aerial wars. ELP rocked the house at this year’s Best of the Super Juniors putting on instant classics with Rocky Romero and Will Ospreay.

A 14 year veteran of the ring, ELP is one of the most agile and fluid performers in the world today. His balance and poise are world class, allowing him to perform various rope walking and springboard spots in his matches. Hard to believe is the fact he wrestles so well with hip problems due to a horrendous motorcycle crash in 2017. Thankfully he did not go the way of Magnum T.A. and is now enjoying a fruitful, globetrotting career.

The bird flipping Rev Pro Cruiserweight champ has had his best year yet in 2019. Expect him to challenge Will Ospreay for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight title once the G1 has wrapped up.
