Control21: Yusuke Fuke started his career towards the end of UWF Newborn’s run in 1990. He then made the jump to Fujiwara’s PWFG promotion for a brief time and then was a founding member of Pancrase. After his Pancrase days, he has worked for a variety of Japanese indie promotions with occasional stops at bigger names like AJPW, NOAH, and BJW along the way. He has had a relatively interesting career and his longevity might make him someone worth considering. w/Hitamaru Sasaki vs Minoru Suzuki & Takanori Ito (4/16/2022) vs Hikaru Sato (2/12/2022) vs GENTARO (3/12/2009) vs Yoshiaki Fujiwara (2/24/1992)

HowtobeaMark said: One of the many New Japan Pro Wrestling nearly men, flirting with the top of the card but always falling back down to upper midcard/midcard, which may hurt his chances here but his skills between the ropes cannot be denied. He feels like an old soul in NJPW by old soul I mean harping back to the days of the Samurai. A warrior of honour, determination, and fearlessness. Most recently has been paired with YOSHI-HASHI as a tag team. YOSHI-HASHI has always been seen as a bit of a loser but is now seen as a genuine player to the point the team beat aces Kazuchika Okada & Hiroshi Tanahashi and it never felt wrong.

club: God I love Sid Cooper. An ugly, mean spirited, caveman dunderhead in the best way. There’s a simple but great morality tale subtext to his matches; he’s a talented technical wrestler who cuts corners wherever he can. Thing is, this reliance on cheap shots never works. As Kent Walton’s reminds us, if he’d just stick to the technical wrestling he’d get somewhere. As it is he almost always loses. And we love seeing this idiot getting his comeuppance again and again. When he’s not cheating, he makes for a fantastic buffoon, trying to hang with a more athletic opponent and failing miserably. See his matches against Sammy Lee/Sayama for the be…

HenryHeadCheese Its Me (from discord): When thinking about pivotal wrestlers important in my fandom and wrestlers I just want to root for Chuck Taylor is pretty high up there. There's something so charming and earnest feeling about him. He's so cool. I am not sure if I make to independent wrestling without Chuck Taylor. He's one of those wrestlers that when he is on screen whose performers help you are near in the venue with him, hes so connectable. When he wins I win. He's quips in match quips are usually fun. He's also good in traditional settings too as brawler. Match recs vs. El Generico (PWG, 8/28/2009) vs. Arik Cannon vs. Johnny Gargano vs. Rich Sw…

Kadaveri: The best pure babyface of her era and even just that doesn't quite do her justice. From very early on in her career she'd developed a distinct personality that she incorporated into her matches brilliantly. She's an over-energetic little pest who does things like screaming her opponent's face to throw them off. Done by almost anyone else her gimmick would just be annoying but she pulls it off and makes you think it's just her real personality. She's also an incredibly athletic cardio machine despite not looking like one and takes some incredible bumps. Her feud with Mayumi Ozaki in 2023-24 came closer than anyone to the visceral and emotional vibe of the Ch…

madwizzzard said: "A death match wrestler from the late 90’s through today (minus a small jail stay). The aura that this man is incredible. He demands the audience’s attention, he can go from playing baby face to heel without changing his character in a way that works for him. The crowed is into him either way. He is one of the best American death match workers. MDK all FN Day and free his boy 26!"
