The guy that every wrestling fan should recognize: AJ Styles. He's been doing some of his best work in Japan and has a legit chance to win "wrestler of the year" in most "end of the year" awards. He is a favorite to win this entire tournament. Along with AJ, there are two other Bullet Club members in this block: Bad Luck Fale and Doc Gallows.

Hiroshi Tanahashi; a well-round wrestler and huge fan favorite. He won the G1 back in 2007, and is known as a "one in a century" talent. His in-ring work has been much more consistent, but hes typically called the "John Cena of NJWP".

Kota Ibushi is a name you may be familiar with as he put on a legitimate match-of-the-year against Shinsuke Nakamura at Wrestle Kingdom 9 way back in January. He has the aerial arsenals of both Seth Rollins and Neville, and then some. Bit of a dark horse to win this block.

Josh's work has been seen on Cageside Seats, Yahoo, and The Richest. If it's not pro wrestling, he's definitely thinking about cured meats and/or sushi, but never all three at the same time...that can get weird. Twitter: @HeelDoors
