#4. Shingo Takagi could remain the best in the world at IMPACT Wrestling

Shingo Takagi would kill it at IMPACT Wrestling. There are arguments that he's the best wrestler in the world based on his work at New Japan Pro Wrestling.

Takagi has had incredible matches with Jeff Cobb, Hiroshi Tanahashi, Will Ospreay, and Kazuchika Okada and will mostly have a classic when he clashes with Kota Ibushi soon.

Tagaki seems to get a world-class wrestling match out of anyone, which makes him perfect at IMPACT against its established veterans and promising up-and-coming talent.


#3. Kazuchika Okada gets IMPACT Wrestling redemption

Okada was without doubt the world's best wrestler during his record-breaking IWGP World Heavyweight Title run, where he seemed completely unstoppable.

Before that, he wrestled seven matches for IMPACT (then TNA), and lost most of them. He was defeated by the likes of Kazarian, Stevie Richards, and The Motor City Machine Guns. It's safe to say that they didn't realize what a star The Rainmaker could be.

It would be great to see Okada return to IMPACT Wrestling now that he's established himself as one of the best in the world, and to get treated like it this time around.
