Top 20 Wrestlers

1. Sasha Banks
2. Jon Moxley
3. Drew McIntyre
4. Tetsuya Naito
5. Kenny Omega
6. Bailey
7. Io Shirai
8. Kota iBushi
9. Roman Reigns
10. Eddie Kingston

I didn't think Omega had that great a year to be honest. And while a lot of us were annoyed by Cody, he should have made the list in my opinion along with Randy Orton and AJ Styles. I don't think they should have put Japanese wrestlers in there. Because this list was essentialy made for an occidental audience and most people are not privy to Japanese wrestling so you may as well put names of your favorite cartoon characters in there and it would not make a difference.

 

[Pentagon Senior]

Eddie Kingston in ahead of Cody and Orton (not that I watch WWE)!!?

 

[VIP86]

Sasha Banks is the top PRO wrestler on the planet in 2020 ?
no disrespect to her or her fans, but this is a laughable choice
especially because the list contains MALE PRO wrestlers
i don't care what company is involved (AEW or WWE)
women wrestling is not at the same level, not even remotely close
i would accept this choice if they made separate lists for men and women

 

[A PG Attitude]

Orton and Cody both deserve to be high in that list. Orton had one of his best years.

 

[The Wood]

It’s just a list put together by some fan/commentator. It’s trivial and makes the vaguest bit of kayfabe sense if you look at it.

 

[prosperwithdeen]

I wouldn’t put Sasha Banks over McIntyre, Moxley, or Omega at all. She has been great but her feud with Bayley was largely botched. I wouldn’t put Eddie Kingston on the list either even though he had a dope feud with Mox. Orton should definitely take his spot and maybe even be higher on the list but I don’t really watch NJPW so I can’t really say. These lists are all subjective anyway.

 

[zaz102]

Biggest takeaway to me is Kingston getting a mention in Sports Illustrated.

For a guy that was selling his boots to pay his bills just over six months ago, pretty cool that now he's on cable TV and mentioned in Sports Illustrated.

Completely agree.

I stopped watching wrestling when bra n panties matches were still a thing lol.I come back and the WWE had some pseudo revolution to where mediocre to good female wrestlers are being compared to actual elite Male counterparts......its laughable.

Yes womans wrestling has come a long way but let's not pretend the WNBA is equal to the NBA when 99% of the woman can't even dunk and would be lucky to be on the men's practice squad.

 

[RapShepard]

Sasha had one of the feuds of the year her being 1 isn't crazy at all

 

[JasmineAEW]

I actually have no problem with Sasha being No. 1. In my opinion, she was the best thing about the WWE all year.

The Top 10 seem pretty legit, although I agree Cody and Orton should be on the list somewhere.

[Thomazbr]

I'm glad by dude Eddie was on the list.
As far as I'm concerned no one had a better year in AEW than him.

WNBA players are not playing in NBA whereas women are wrestling at same time as men so comparison doesn't make sense.

I wouldn't have Sasha number one (that's Reigns) but Sasha still was involved in top feud on most watched pro wrestling show on Earth for months. Sasha vs Bayley was most watched pro wrestling match on TV of the Covid era until Reigns and Owens which had NFL lead whereas women's match had nothing.

Sasha is more popular than all but a handful of male pro wrestlers right now, that's an undeniable fact. If there was an equivalent wnba player who was more popular than every NBA players not named Lebron, Curry then we could compare.

 

[Dickhead1990]

Sasha Banks, Eddie Kingston and Bailey are really over-inflated here. I also feel that Reigns is here based on his heel turn, which is fair enough. Prior to this, things were nowhere near as good. I can agree with the rest though for sure, but feel it needs more AJ Styles in there.

Womans skills are not on par with males if woman were allowed in the NBA they'd be blown out of the water by faster,stronger,physically bigger men.....same can be said for the vast majority of sports.

Wrestling isn't an actual competitive sport so there isn't a need to separate the men and woman into separate leagues,but the skill levels are obviously different.WWE can masquerade its revolution or whatever but the best woman aren't on the level of the best men performers.

What the fuck has Cody done this year to deserve Top 10 status? Booking yourself in 25 minutes of television time does not make you Top 10 worthy.

Even you could see Cody had some great matches and moments this year.

Bro, yes he annoyed the Hell out of us this year cause he was overbearing but there were tons of quality matches and he was heavily featured on the second biggest promotion in North America and one of the most proheminent names of pro wrestling. Look at it objectively for one second.

He was featured prominently with 25+ minutes of air time weekly when the shows were scratching and clawing to do 700k viewers for months on end.

Is that really something to brag about..?
