10 Best Stables In Wrestling Right Now

1. Los Ingobernables De Japon

NJPW

If Bullet Club have conquered New Japan Pro Wrestling's American fanbase, Los Ingobernables de Japon rule their homeland.

They are NJPW's top t-shirt shifters in Japan. In terms of sales, the gulf between them and everyone else is gigantic, and this is largely down to their cool, charismatic leader.

Tetsuya Naito is Japan's most popular wrestler, and going Ingobernable has saved his career. A laid back, swaggering anti-hero, he was going nowhere in his past life as a white meat babyface, but turned every single doubter into a fan with his reinvention. Now, the former 'Stardust Genius' leads NJPW's charismatic outlaws with aplomb, and he's got one hell of a supporting cast.

Hiromu Takahashi, the group's 'Ticking Time Bomb,' is a near-suicidal Junior Heavyweight buzzsaw who more than lives up to his nickname. IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Champions EVIL and SANADA are cold, calculated, and ruthless, and can both look forward to prosperous main event careers of their own. Bushi, meanwhile, is mid-tier wrestler at best, but effective as LIJ's masked d***head.

LIJ are almost a perfect stable. They've got the gimmick, aesthetic, and match quality down, and each wrestler has a clear role to play. Aside from a Naito IWGP Heavyweight Title win, what more could anyone want?
