CheapPop1999 said (from discord): A fantastic modern day big man who used his size to his advantage in every single match in a very old-school way. He's always the center of attention in every match he's in because he's a massive behemoth of a man no matter who else in there. He was a very reliable presence in puro for a ten year run, and is one of the best flavor of the month monsters for your ace to climb of all time. Match recs: w/ Takeshi Rikio vs Kenta Kobashi and Jun Izumida (NOAH 1/22/2006) vs. Brock Lesnar (NJPW 3/19/2006) w/ Ryoto Hama vs Strong BJ (AJPW 1/3/2012) vs. Masakatsu Funaki (AJPW 1/26/2013) Anything against Akiyama (my fav is AJPW 4…

club said: Starts off (at least in terms of footage) as a versatile WoS babyface who could work technical matches and get rough when required. Found his true calling sometime in 1977 when he became an heel. His tag team with Dave Bond, The Caribbean Sunshine Boys, caused such heat that they were disbanded, and sadly leave us with but one televised match. He has some great singles performances from this era however. His heel offence is basic and his heel antics - strut, choke, devious inward smile - are nothing you haven’t seen before. It’s just that it so well executed that his matches are never not fun and are often a joy to watch. His match with Tony St Cl…

MichaelZ said: Emi Sakura is effective at creating a connection with the crowd and getting across the story of the match in any environment. She is capable of having lengthy matches with a big-fight feel, such as her epic vs Yoneyama. But she makes the most out of whatever time she is given and gives you a little something to sink your teeth into regardless of placement on the card. vs Kaori Yoneyama (JWP, 9/19/2010) w Kaori Yoneyama vs Arisa Nakajima and Command Bolshoi (JWP, 8/19/2012) vs Shazza McKenzie (SPW, 12/18/2018) vs Hikaru Shida (AEW, 8/24/2022)

My nominee She was my #1 wrestler in 2022 and anyone who can do that deserves a nomination. Giulia is essentially the new CM Punk, someone who is so cool and charismatic and smart in the ring, it makes up for their little sloppyness. She has a knack for stepping it up in the big stage with some classics under her belt in those settings. Not to mention her taking people who seemed worthless like Mai Saukura, and making them look legit. Rec Matches 2022 12 29 Stardom Dream Queendom Giulia vs Syuri 2021 3 …
