The ProWres Paradise Power Rankings get broken out as Alan unveils his top 10 wrestlers for the first half of the year, plus some honorable mentions. Amongst that top ten is a man who has now stepped away from wrestling as of June 30, and he went out with a bang. Alan breaks down Yuji Okabayashi&#8217;s final matches (possibly ever) and talks his place in modern wrestling history. On top of that, July has already seen a new Triple Crown champion crowned on an eventful All Japan show at Korakuen Hall, and Dragongate&#8217;s biggest show of the year headlined by an emotional and dramatic cage match. The high and lows of both shows are looked at, and more, this week on ProWres Paradise.
