10 of the world's best technical wrestlers

<p>

#5 The Rainmaker Kazuchika Okada

<p>

The longest reigning IWGP champ for over two years, Okada brings a near perfect blend of size, speed, power, and agility to bear in the ring.

On top of this, he has a ton of charisma, and his elitist personality and bearing earn him huge heat with any wrestling crowd anywhere in the world. Having Okada on your roster is like a license to print money, which is exactly where the Okada dollars gimmick comes from. It's always a rainy day--in a good way--with Okada around.

#6 Jay Briscoe

<p>

When you go nearly three years without being pinned or forced to submit on the wildly competitive independent wrestling scene, you know you have to be among the best ever. And Jay Briscoe certainly qualifies.

One look at Briscoe's intense gaze and tattooed physique and you know he's tough. What's less obvious under all those hillbilly trappings are the acumen of a seasoned veteran and master ring general whose technical abilities are among the best of all time.

From his ratchet neck breaker to his Jay Driver finishing move, everything Jay does in the ring looks authentic and powerful. His presence on this list is justified every time he steps into the ring.
