Who is the greatest wrestler of the year?

This is a surprisingly weak year for wrestling IMO. NJPW is head and shoulders above the rest.

Yoshiaki Fujiwara. Fujinami and Inoki are one tier down.

I'd go with Choshu, who was maybe the hottest thing in puroresu that year. Extremely strong work across singles, tags, and those NJPW gauntlet matches

Bobby Eaton had a great year. 

Carlos Colon - Has a trio of stone cold classics against Hansen in a one of the legendary feuds of the decade and then moves onto one of the most underrated great rivalries ever against Hercules Ayala. 

Runner Up - Austin Idol because we've only really got a good look at the 1st half of his year but he has the greatest US feud ever peaking with the greatest US match ever so he deserves a mention.
