#5 Joey Ryan
If infamy had a face in pro wrestling, it would be Joey Ryan. Ryan has established himself as wrestling on the independents, and though he's currently signed to Impact Wrestling, he's still doing his own shows.
Moreover, he has been very active in inter-gender wrestling taking on the likes of Shayna Baszler, Taya Valkyrie and others. He's even wrestled legends like Ken Shamrock and Mick Foley, who were more than willing to take his....unique move set.
With that stated, It was revealed that Ryan turned down an AEW contract, but felt that they could always work together down the line. He was approached about wrestling for WWE and eventually moving into an NXT coaching role. Ryan declined because he felt that the time wasn't right. He explained,
"I try not to overthink on that level. It would always be nice to have job security or a place where you know you can still provide after your time in the ring is done. That does weigh on me because I am 39 now, which is something I think about, but I don't want to get caught up in something that I don't have an urgency to get to."
Ryan looks like he's very comfortable working on the independents. There still might be a move in the future, but it doesn't like it's going to be anytime soon.
