Posted December 13, 20213 yr comment_5970111 Which Michinoku Pro, Toryumon, Osaka Pro, Dragon Gate, etc. guys are you all considering for your list?
December 13, 20213 yr comment_5970143 Sasuke for sure, Gran Hamada if you want to consider him under the M. Pro banner, and Dick Togo seem likely to make my list. Outside of that, I'd think about Ultimo Dragon, CIMA, Shingo, maybe Doi or Yamato, but I'm sure any of them are real contenders, as of yet. Throw Don Fuji in there too, I guess.
December 14, 20213 yr comment_5970202 Togo is a cert for me, and I had Sasuke and Delphin in my 60s last time, so they've got a good shot. I've a few names I really want to dig into (CIMA, Dragon Kid, Mochizuki) in the next few years too.
December 14, 20213 yr comment_5970207 Mochizuki and Shingo are locks. CIMA, Sasuke, Dragon Kid, and Dick Togo I need to see more of but will likely be real contenders. There are others I need to dig into as well but will not likely make my list.
December 14, 20213 yr comment_5970216 Togo and Shingo are for sure making my list. Sasuke might get in too if I get around rewatching Michinoku Pro.
March 14, 20223 yr comment_5977325 Togo is a definite lock. And while I think his NJPW work trumps his Dragon Gate resume, Shingo is definitely in consideration.
March 14, 20223 yr comment_5977328 Might squeeze in Milano after watching some of his stuff. Fairly short career but it's a pretty top-notch 9 years all things considered
May 6, 20232 yr comment_6003999 Dick Togo is the only one that I put on my list, maybe The Great Sasuke would be another interesting candidate but I don't have any wrestlers that could make my list from Toryumon or Dragon Gate, maybe Shingo or Masaaki Mochizuki if this was a top 150 wrestlers ever.
May 6, 20232 yr comment_6004004 I really wish Togo had picked any two moves other than the crossface & the pedigree. I'm still strongly considering him. Sasuke - I still really like this absolute nut & think his peak is spectacular. Could lay in a kneebar for too long as the years went on but would fling himself into exploding barbed wire so I can forgive him. On the bubble for me but if we were doing lists of 120, he'd certainly make it. Mens Teioh - I've said before he's my favorite of these wrestlers & my favorite junior of his (or maybe any) generation. Could do the lucharesu style as well as his peers but also had a lot more versatility & tricks up his sleeve. CIMA - Maybe the #1 guy in all of wrestling I don't particularly like at all but I think he's so overtly talented & charismatic that every few years I'll watch some of his matches & be impressed.
