Only one that rivals him, for me, is Kawada.

But I'm a huge Dangerous K mark, so I don't think it's a fair vote.

**Andy3000** · 04-02-2008, 04:02 PM

I'd actually put Kawada above Misawa and... pretty much every All Japan wrestler from the 90s except MAYBE Kobashi. I'd probably put Jumbo ahead of him though.

Liger's number one for me as far as Puro talent goes though.

**-Blaskohiro Tenryu-** · 04-02-2008, 04:06 PM

I'd put Kawada over anything.

But I take it back, Kawada and Liger are two different styles. Comparing them against each other is quite...Hard.

1. Liger
2. Kawada

Is how I have it too.

Since I'm all ready going to buy Rising Above, Breakout and 6th year anniversary I was wondering which show I should get for my free one, Eye of the Storm or Without Remorse.
Thanks

Pretty realible. I've got Saturday Night Main Event set, Clash of Champion set, Raw 93 set and all the PPVs from 1993. The quality varies from each disk, though. He's always updating it though if he can get a better version.

Best overall show i've ever seen.

Match is pretty awesome no doubt and Liger's best ever (which is saying A LOT), but i'm partial to Ohtani/Ultimo from J-Crown, it is my favorite match.

I concur he's in my top 5 as well but I think Terry Funk and Jumbo Tsuruta are a tad better than him for a few reasons.

My top 5 ever are
1. Funk
2. Jumbo
3. Liger
4. Kawada
5. Flair

Misawa is my least favorite of the 4 Pillars personally. Kawada is perhaps the most consistantly awesome wrestler i've ever seen, when Taue was on he was fucking FANTASTIC otherwise he could be 'meh', Kobashi is Kobashi and always fun to watch but sometimes the way he does things can get a little illogical and annoying (still <3 you Kobashi).

You shout out to the Jumbo one makes me proud, god rest that man's soul.

I read somewhere in '84 Kawada and Liger faced off against each other in the finals of some form of Japanese ameteur wrestling championship. I'd love to see them in a pro match, but I doubt it will ever happen.

Where's BJ Whitmer?

**Andy3000** · 04-03-2008, 05:05 AM

Misawa's my least favourite of the 4 pillars as well probably. I agree with what you said about Taue too, but I'd put Kawada and Kobashi over him. Kobashi's no-selling was pretty stupid at times. I get the whole 'Fighting Spirit' deal, but sometimes it just seemed weird.

Ohtani started to turn into somewhat of a mini-Kobashi mid-way through 1998 with the streaky selling and almost crying after a near-fall.

Jumbo's top 5 for me, with Funk being probably between 8-11. Race is another guy similair to Funk, but I'd put him slightly below the Funker.

I can never seem to settle on a concrete top 5 as I'm always changing my mind, but the main 5 would probably consist of these guys (in no particular order):
*Ric Flair
*Jushin Liger
*Jumbo Tsuruta
*HBK

Then one of these would round out the 5:
*Steve Austin
*Toshiaki Kawada
*Chris Benoit (although as far as influence on the biz goes, everyone else has that to their advantage, while this guy's like... -50)
