Hirofumi Miura vs Masashi Aoyagi WYF 3/20/1998

He was a great NWA champion from an era when a champion had to behave in a particular way in the ring, that's why he is boring. Jack Brisco was better than him, there's a match between those two in 1972 and 1974, both are amazing matches. Dory Funk Jr is the greatest boring wrestler ever, he won't make my list.

I really like the AWA run of the High Flyers but he isn't a top 100 wrestler ever, Jim Brunzell is at the same level or even better than him. I want to see more of them.

I agree, if WCW knew how to book him he would be on my list but considering how his career went, Brian Pillman is exactly what you've said.

I personally liked his match against Greg Valentine in 1984, Jake Roberts in 1986 and his tag team with Bob Orton Jr but he won't make my list. There's at least 150 wrestlers with better careers overall.

All the Chigusa stuff here is great: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kE94L6jW6TIoxjnxjYGgR1rGQaiESFIt_1dRDY-ZExI/edit#gid=0 Thanks to https://spinningwheelkick.wordpress.com/. The man behind this wordpress made the list I believe, so thank him.

The numbers are very impressive, I expected something big but not that huge to be honest. I'm very happy seeing how wrestling can still draw big crowds.

He has been great for 30 years, from his 1990's AJPW run to his KO-D Openweight championship reign in 2020. Three matches that I recommend: Akiyama is a top 30 wrestler of all time for me.

There's almost no let's say ''Just Bleed'' fanbase in wrestling nowadays.

I really like his matches against Rey Mysterio Jr, I'm a baseball fan but I have never heard of his MLB run, I want to see it, I haven't found any footage or information about that.

Both are top 50 wrestlers of all time but Rey Mysterio's consistency is more important than Steamboat's peak in my opinion.

I'm enjoying Sano beyond the Liger feud, his matches against the lights of Wayne Shamrock, Jerry Flynn or Yoji Anjoh are great. Truly a contender for my top 70 at least, being great as a shoot style and traditional wrestler is no easy feat.

It's a shame considering how good Lola Gonzalez vs Pantera Sureña is.

I have Black Terry in the 100th spot, I think he is going to be higher on my list by 2026.

Anthony Henry in 5 to 10 years could be a contender and the same could be said about Damian Priest in the perceivable future.

They're very close for me too.

He needs to stop doing that as soon as possible.

He was the weak part of one of the greatest tag teams ever, he deserves recognition but Robert Gibson won't make my list, there's a lot of competition.

The more I see the more I agree with you.

His match in the ZERO1 debut show is a MOTY candidate of 2001 no doubt. Here it is:

Kenta Kobashi's chop is unreal Manami Toyota's dropkick is awesome

I'm seeing the Puerto Rico DVDVR and he is the 2nd best wrestler of the pack behind Carlos Colón and his tag team with Invader III was great.

Thank you so much you just gave me 8 years worth of wrestling. Man, this is a dream come true, this is awesome.

Dude, you're awesome keep it up.

What about Chigusa Nagayo? She was always a big factor when in like every tournament AJW held in the mid 80's from Tag League The Best 1985 to Japan Grand Prix 1987. Chigusa was never outside the finals. She brought a lot of energy to those matches and made an impact in every match we have on tape. Tag League The Best final: Grand Prix 1986: Grand Prix 1987:
