10 Hottest Free Agents LEFT In Wrestling Today

2. Minoru Suzuki

Jon Moxley Joey Ryan
NJPW

One of New Japan Pro Wrestling's biggest heels he may be, but Minoru Suzuki isn't contracted to the promotion. He works without a formal deal. This gives him the freedom to do shows like Josh Barnett's Bloodsport (WrestleMania weekend) and last year's OTT Fourth Anniversary event as he pleases, though the 50-year-old rarely strays far from the 'King Of Sports' and their British affiliate RevPro these days.

Regardless, Suzuki is a free agent and he's still one of the best in the world despite his advancing years, though it'd be a massive surprise to see him sign a contract anytime soon - even for NJPW.

'The King' is one of the most respected wrestlers in Japan. His shoot-style badassery shouldn't need an introduction, and though he stands at just 5'10", Suzuki fills the ring like a giant. A demented torture artist between the ropes, he's as intimidating as anyone else in the sport, even those who dwarf him physically, and his age-defying performances remain those of a performer who isn't close to running out of gas yet.

Currently in the midst of one of NJPW's most heated rivalries (with the soon-to-retire Jushin Liger), MiSu is a special talent.
