Kenny Omega is the best wrestler in the world. Don't agree? Look again.

There are arguments against something so subjective, but they're rapidly redundant. Yes, the first ever IWGP United States Heavyweight Champion has undoubtedly been spoiled with a varied palette of topline opponents this year, but Beretta, Juice Robinson, SANADA, Michael Elgin, Tomohiro Ishii have had (or will have) few better matches than their spectacular clashes with 'The Cleaner'. Kazuchika Okada has amassed his share of legendary encounters, but few will ever again marry emotional investment, critical acclaim and commercial success as much as his already-iconic trifecta with Omega.

He's not just the man bell-to-bell either. His promos infuse 1980s bombast with contemporary cool. Inch-perfect in Japan, they travel well too, opening millions of new eyes to an absorbing product far beyond much of North America's current output or the all-steak no-sizzle philosophies of several significant independent organisations. And when Omega shows up at those shows, he's a star beyond this universe. And more importantly, WWE's.
