10 Impact Vs. New Japan Matches We Need To See

Sticking with the X Division vs. junior heavyweight division theme; Chris Bey vs. El Phantasmo. Need we say more?

The pair narrowly missed out on colliding recently as part of New Japan's Super J Cup this past December, with Bey ousted in the semifinals by eventual runner-up, ACH. You didn't even need to see the match to know how much of a banger it would be.

Both men have risen to prominence in their respective promotions since being brought in, with 'The Ultimate Finesser' becoming X Division Champion in his first pay-per-view appearance, whereas the Bullet Club man Phantasmo has become one of the backbones of the current crop of junior heavyweight lads.

The comparisons between the two go further, of course; they both have the look, the charisma, and the required agility needed to succeed in these major promotions. We know Bey can hang in a New Japan setting, and we can only assume Phantasmo would be the same in an Impact ring. It's merely a matter of seeing it first-hand.

Of all the matches on this list, this is one that genuinely feels like it could happen. Phantasmo feels on the same level as your David Finlays and Juice Robinsons in a way - bring him to the Impact Zone.
