kenta kobashi

>>2723884
Nope.

>>2723884
Sure

I rate Kawada and Misawa over him, but they're all top 10 for me so sure.

>its a being stiff is the gimmick jap who takes on other stiff japs because nippon cant tell whats real or fake.

top 20? sure

>>2723890
>>2723892
What about Muta and Chono?

>>2723909
I rate Chono above Muta mostly because Muta's main event style bores the fuck out of me then only really becomes GOAT later into the match. Chono is cool as fuck and has the GOAT G1 match with Takayama but after he broke his neck his work was still good but not up to par with his contemporaries.

Big Match Hash I rate above both as the best musketeer.

Tenryu is my actual number 1 though. By far my favorite wrestler of all time. Kawada is top 5, Misawa, Kobashi and Hashimoto top 10 and Muta, Chono and Taue are top 20.

>>2723884
Yes, better babyface than Misawa.

>>2723926
This is almost perfect other than not having Taue above Kobashi

>>2723909
Why wouldn't you mention HashiGOATo, bud

>>2723926
>Tenryu is my actual number 1 though.
Fuck yeah. I love watching grumpy old man Tenryu beating the shit out of people. I wish he had done some shootstyle matches in BattlArts or somewhere. Dude was just mean with his strikes when he wanted to be.

>>2723884
No.

Maybe in Japan he's top 20 or 15.

In terms of star power/legendary status Rikidozan, Inoki, Baba, Hansen, Muta, Chono, Misawa off top of my head are ahead of him in Japan alone.

>>2723926
wrestling isn't just about workrate

Chono is a STAR, legit over with Yakuza

Clothing line, movies, commercials. own coffee brand etc.

That Tenryu vs Hashimoto match from the 98 G1 Climax is one of my favorite matches of all time.

>Tenryu

Its amazing that he was an elite wrestler in his 50's. He, Marafuji vs Kobashi and Go is one of my favourite tag matches EVER

>>2723892
>clearly never watched All Japan and bases his knowledge off memes

>>2724745
Seriously a pathetic fucking list.

Misawa is better but I have both of them in the top 10, so I agree.

>>2724760
give us yours

>>2724771
Fuck off, kid

>>2724745

My personal list

I lived in Japan for three years when Tana breaking out so hes my sentimental favourite.

1. Tanahashi
2. Jumbo
3. Mutoh
4. Tenyru
5. Okada
6. Kobashi
7. Toyota
8. Misawa
9. Suzuki
10. Kawada

>>2724981
Even with TanaCena thats not a bad list. Personally I like Tenryu over Jumbo but they are on the same level of legendary.

>>2724981
i lived in Japan for 3.25 years

What's a good Shinya Hashimoto match? All I know about him is that he's the longest reigning IWGP Heavyweight champion. Has Davy the Melt Man ever given him 5 stars?

He kept NOAH relevant for a long ass time I think he should get a bump for that

just as tanahashi deserves it for saving dying ass new japan

>>2724754

>muh stiff gooks fighting stiff gooks on a emperors path make me stiff

have sex fatty

>>2725341
He had one of the best G1's ever in 98 and his match with Tenryu is GOAT tier.

RIP The Wrestling Channel.

Just wish they didn't have that lisping cunt commentating.

>>2724727
>DBOL bloat beats Cena foreHGHarms

Kobash in his prime would have made Cena look like a geek.

>>2724727
