| Did anyone expect a competent list from WWE. Naturally they ignore anyone who never worked for them, because everything outside of WWE is the minor leagues to them. As far as notable wrestlers go, I would list El Santo (The only wrestler to become a true national icon), Mitsuharu Misawa, Kenta Kobashi, Kensuki Sasaki, Masahiro Chono, Rikidozan, Tiger Mask and probably Inoki as well. I'd also probably include Jushin Liger for his 25+ years of work. Other notables are Sting, Argentino Rocca, Frank Gotch and Jim Londos, though more for drawing power. Danny Hodge, The Destroyer and Jock Briscoe were all sublime in the ring. Finally the new blood deserve some recognition, the pick of the bunch probably being KENTA who's been fantastic this decade, also a mention to Mistico, who drew hugely in Mexico before signing with WWE. |
