10 GCW Wrestlers Who Owned 2021
5. Chris Dickinson
Chris Dickinson has wrestled everywhere and in 2021, but has made New Japan Strong and GCW his home premotions.
Dickinson is a grappler, a powerhouse, and a brawler teaming with newer up and coming talent as well as facing off against the great Minoru Suzuki at Josh Barnett's Bloodsport 6. His inclusion in Team Filthy has elevated his status within New Japan and his unlikely tag-team with Starboy Charlie in GCW has allowed us to see a softer side to the "Dirty Daddy" of wrestling.
It's hard to even describe the year he has had in GCW becoming one of the most well-known competitors in the promotion and helping put some much-needed eyes on the talent there. Dickinson is likable and deadly, with swift kicks and technical prowess that will make anyone who is a fan of catch wrestling and submission-based offense give a little smile. He has been one to watch for a number of years now but it finally feels like in 2021 that he has grown into the wrestler we all knew he could be and has entered his prime.
