Tsuruta
Misawa
Kobashi
>>2437035
Saitama = Stone Cold
Goku = Hulkster
Naruto = The Great One?
>>2437595
>Kobashi
this is a meme, Kobashi is legendary and in my top 3 wrestlers of all time but was always second fiddle to what Misawa was doing in story in AJPW, AJPW goes Baba, Tsurata then Misawa before it's "death" in which it then became SUWAMA and is now MIyahara. Kobashi is to Misawa what Tenryu is to Tsurata. Kobashi didn't become a GOAT tier ace final boss until NOAH, before that he was a GOAT tier underdog that could also hoss it up.
Anyway, the most important people in japanese wrestling are Rikidozan, Inoki and Baba but if you want it to be a generational thing as to who's the biggest draws of the last 35 years the answers are Inoki, Tsurata and Hashimoto. Though the other musketeers are also incredibly important and over.

AJ Styles, Kenny Omega, Prince Devitt
