How many countless "Favorite foreign wrestler" threads have there been here???

About 1 for roughly 100 other posts.

You know, there IS wrestling out there beyond the WWE. And here's a shocker - it's GOOD stuff. Better, many times, than the shit the WWE shovels our way.

Best Asian wrestler: currently, I'd have to go with Toshiaki Kawada. Kawada is one of the greatest heavyweights of ALL TIME. Yuji Nagata a close second for current great.

Mitsuhara Misawa in his prime may have arguably been one of the greatest ever. Same with Jumbo Tsurata.

Keiji "Great Muta" Mutoh is a bizarre case. When motivated (which was mercurial), he could put on some great matches. Now his knees are shot to hell, and he's running All Japan into the ground, but I still give him props for being the only one I know who can actually do the Shining Wizard properly (note to Helms: it's good that you try, but a kick to the head isn't a Shining Wizard).

But I'm just talking heavyweights here. If you're talking juniors, than Jyushin "Thunder" Lyger is perhaps the greatest Japanese junior to have ever lived.

Jyushin "Thunder" Lyger

I totally agree with you Seven, glad to see someone in here with great taste.

[samnyc]

Jumbo Tsuruta is #1 of all time with a rich history of matches. Kenta Kobashi is #2, having had incredible matches with Misawa, Kawada, Hansen, Williams, Akiyama during the 90's and helping to make Noah a fed to watch in 2003.

in the 80's it was the great muta & Antonio Inoki.

then we had jushin thunder liger

then we have kazushi sakuraba

now we have tajiri.

if you really want me to start going off on japanese wrestling i will, because i am a big follower of new japan, big japan, fmw.

just keep your eye out for a big black guy named "bob sapp". vince mcmahon is trying to pry him out of japan. he is 6'7, 375lbs.. SOLID MASS. he played professional football. is a K-1 Champion, Has faught in pride 6 times and only lost once(to noguira). he is just a monster

At first I thought this was a thread about the tag team "Orient Express" of the early 90's. If it was, I would have to say that the masked Kato was the dominant member.

Kobashi is one of the all-time greats, no question. I wouldn't list him as a current great, simply because he literally has the knees of an 80 year old man (and I mean, literally - I believe I read somewhere that his doctors actually told him that - that his knees are the equivalent to an 80 year old man's knees). Which is tragic, seeing as he's at most only about 36 years old.

He is a beast, the problem is, he knows NOTHING about wrestling. His booking is worse than even Muta's.

ultimo dragon asian right??????

Yes.

ps-who is this nathan jones a former wrestler we all know and love ??????? nailz

No, Jones is not Nailz. Trust me, after the shit that went down between Nailz & Vince, Nailz won't ever get a job with McMahon again.

[Evilpete]

I count Mike Awesome, since most of his career (pre ECW) was in Japan, and don't forget Masato Tanaka<br />

From what i've seen from
his match with Samoa Joe, it looks like he can still go. I havent seen
all of the match but from what i heard it was a 5 star match. I am
definitly looking foward to seeing the match in whole.<br /><p>&nbsp;</p>

[samnyc]

kobashi was amazing around mid 90s and is still pretty cool.&nbsp; was reviewing some old tatsumi recently and he had some good matches.&nbsp;

[MHasegawa]

Yeah, Fujinami was my favorite of all time, in any country.<br />
