IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kazuchika Okada was recently interviewed by Sports Illustrated. During the interview, Okada spoke on a variety of topics, including who he thinks are the top 3 wrestlers in the world (not including himself).

Below are some of the highlights:
Okada on Kenny Omega as an opponent:
“Kenny is tough, he’s strong, he’s awesome; I think all those things are pretty obvious. The thing with him is that with the power of NJPW World, he’s been able to get such a following worldwide. The whole world has their hopes pinned on him and that’s a definite X-factor.”
Excluding himself, who he thinks are the top three wrestlers in the world:
“Kenny, [Tetsuya] Naito, and [Will] Ospreay. Aside from myself, those three are what makes NJPW the best promotion in the world.”
On a semi-related note, here is who Daniel Bryan thinks is the best wrestler in WWE right now.
