Who was the best in-ring performer in Japanese wrestling history? (Ripping on Herb for amusement)

[Ryan]

Who Bestest?

 

You may notice some obvious names missing. Don't blame me. *cough*Tenryu*cough*

I put my vote for Jumbo Tsuruta.  Had great matches with a wide variety of opponents, from Tenryu, Misawa, Kawada to Flair, Robinson, Mascaras.  At least he could say that he had to work with guys that had a wide range of styles.

[NikkySan]

No Hokuto?

I voted for Toyota simply because she's the only woman on the list and she won't get many votes against guys like Misawa, Kobashi or Jumbo.

Y'know, for about 15 seconds I wondered if you were ripping on Herb Kunze.

[DylanWaco]

Obviously there are guys who I think should be included in that poll who aren't, but my answer is Fujinami 

[jaedmc]

Oh wow, I didn't know you loved Fujinami like I do. Dylan, you're strangely attractive now.

[J.H.]

The fact that Toyota is on the list and Hokuto and Aja Kong aren't is fuckin criminal!

He's probably limited in how many entries he can have per poll. And I meant a combination of Meltzer, Herb Kunze and the ghosts of Antonio Pena, Victor Quinones and Herb Abrams.

[BatistaWasRight]

I have a feeling people will have number one favorites across the board.  The majority of the members being gaijin, I believe all federations (and positions on the card) will appear equal.

 

That being said, Kawada all the way.  He was a quiet MVP, and that speaks to me.

[Curt McGirt]

Are we really doing this AGAIN?

[Ryan]

Yes. I must know as must Dave!

[The Z]

I can't take this poll seriously without the Kota Ibushi option.

[Ryan]

I guess the source of this is most four star matches in some set period of time that Dave has given out. That explains the option choices. It's still goofy.

[NintendoLogic]

If Benoit counts as a Japanese wrestler, so should Stan Hansen and Volk Han.

[Gordi the former AEW fan]

I can't take this poll seriously...

 

 

*whispers* I'm pretty sure that's not quite how it's meant to be taken...

 

Edit: I just re-read your post, The Z, and now I see that you already knew that. Apparently some people haven't fully picked up on that,though... that's why I'm still whispering.

You misspelled "Kyoko Inoue."

[Mdot31]

No Tenryu?
