Saw a thread in "General WWE" about the best WWE wrestlers at the moment, so why not do an Indy one. List your favourite Indy wrestlers here. I've made a top 10 because I struggled to make a top 5.

1. Cody
2. Zack Sabre Jr.
3. Grado
4. Kenny Omega
5. Kenny Williams
6. Chris Renfrew
7. Will Ospreay
8. Mikey Whiplash
9. Joe Hendry
10. Kazuchika Okada

My list is solely based on who I like watching the most, hence why some really good in-ring workers are left off or are near the bottom.

Not sure if NJPW wrestlers are indie but i'm gonna put them in my list anyway.

Minoru Suzuki - Baddest guy around
BUSHI - awesome matches machine
Omega - can bring out a good match from people.
Yamato (Dragon Gate) - Just awesome.
Takahashi - f'king ticking time bomb man!

Well...this should be fun...

1). Tenille Dashwood/Emma...Of course...
2). Rosemary/Courtney Rush...A great "Character" who can actually wrestle...
3). Allie/Cherry Bomb...Cute as a button & can work a solid match...
&
That's about all I can list really...

I'm not up to date with Lucha Underground &
I haven't watched enough NJPW to have an
opinion on any of those guys so I'd just be
listing them to seem cool.

So yeah...those 3 lovely ladies are my favorite
Indy workers & really the only 3 I "follow" &
care about.

I won't include anyone from NJPW because it's not really independent. Indie promotions don't usually have the majority of their wrestlers signed to exclusive contracts. ROH is sort of in between right now but I'll still include it as an indie.

1. Motor City Machine Guns.
2. Nick Iggy. It takes someone special to have become my avatar over Kazuchika Okada. I like his "I'm a child gimmick" when he was in Team IOU and I love his current Ring Master gimmick in the Carnies. And if I love Iggy than I have to like:
3. Kerry Awful. His mentality reminds me of a young Rick Steiner. He's sort of crazy.
4. Drew Haskins. Probably none of you know him, but he is a sexy drink of water who wrestles in the Southern indies mostly. He is a GREAT indie heel.
5. Dalton Castle. I know some people think he isn't World Champion material but they are wrong.
6. Shawn Shultz. Another good heel who wrestles in the southern independents a lot.

Hey I like her look...but I've never actually seen her wrestle...
which is why I said..."Not Sure" I wasn't insulting her...just
that I can't have an opinion yet.
