New Japan Pro Wrestling

The only man on the list not to appear in WWE, Michael Elgin is the indie powerhouse who made a name for himself in Ring of Honor, but hit a bit of a brick wall there after a stint as the world champion.

He might have turned into another big man also-ran, but instead, he's gone on to reinvigorate his career by hitching his wagon to New Japan and having some outstanding feuds with the likes of Tetsuya Naito and Kenny Omega.

With two 5-star matches on his resume and plenty of miles left in the gas tank, Big Mike's power and unexpected agility make him one of the most formidable big men in the business today.
