10 Hottest Free Agents In Wrestling Today

Over the course of the past year, the ultra-talented Jonathan Gresham has emerged as one of the fastest-rising stars on the independent scene. While new names and faces routinely pop up and draw acclaim in the ever-changing world of pro wrestling, Gresham's accomplishments are particularly impressive because he's worked almost exclusively for smaller promotions.

The diminutive, technically-expert star has drawn comparisons to "American Dragon" Bryan Danielson, and those don't just apply to his skill and style. Like Danielson in the 2000s, Gresham is traveling all over the world, tirelessly making his name with fantastic matches. In the U.S., he primarily works in the Northeast and Midwest, but he's also competed in the U.K., Germany, Mexico, and Japan.

Potentially the greatest win of Gresham's career came in April, when he defeated David Starr to win Combat Zone Wrestling's 15th annual Best of the Best tournament. Despite CZW's well-earned reputation for violence, the Best of the Best tournament focuses exclusively on pure wrestling competition. As past winners include the likes of Sami Callihan and Adam Cole, the honor is indeed an esteemed one.

Hiring Gresham, who has worked matches for Ring of Honor in the past, should be on every top wrestling promotion's to-do list.
