10 Wrestlers Who Could Be The Jokers In The AEW Owen Hart Tournament

8. Biff Busick

This entry isn't particularly likely, but it's worth manifesting because Biff Busick is tremendous and is currently reminding the niche wrestling fandom why he is so tremendous.

His matches against Jon Moxley (GCW Bloodsport) and Brody King (Circle 6 Skewered) were both sensational. In the former match, Busick made his way back onto the mat and mounted a comeback at the exact same time. That's how much he nails the fighting spirit and will to win aspect of pro wrestling.

The men's Joker is destined for Samoa Joe, and that match would f*cking rule. Joe is precisely the sort of opponent against which Busick excels: a bigger, tougher sh*t-kicker that Busick refuses to sell as bigger or tougher.

Even if Biff isn't the Joker, Tony Khan would be daft not to book him. The man is incredible at getting his opponents over; for proof of that, see his squash defeat to Lars Sullivan back in NXT. He is exceptional at attempting a strategy, realising he is outmatched, and then fighting intensely to the death regardless when the traps he sets fail him.

Everybody on the opposite side of the ring to him looks like a total killer. If nothing else, he should be brought in as a sentimental enhancement talent because the description isn't a euphemism when it describes him; he enhances everybody to incredible effect.

Probability: 5%
