https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EL1Fj-ErPSs&t=47s Sorry for the delay Bike Problems and all that. Hopefully it gets solved soon but anyways here #50 on the list and probably the most underrated of them all Taka Michinoku.
I never get bored watching htis guy in action except during a certain BOTSJS match this year against fellow Suzuki-gun stable mate Taichi, who is not going anywhere near this list! So for being an exciting underrated wrestler and first ever junior heavyweight champion in WWF history. Taka Michinoku…..
Next Time: It takes hard work to make one great tag team but two, that is legendary.
WE ARE EEEEEEEEEEEEVIIIIIIIIILLLLLL! HAHAHAHAHAHA!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLtbU31Jc2M I’m going to do something a little different, it will be a top 50 list but instead of doing it in one go it will be 50 different blogs. What is the subject? Well my top 50 japanese wrestlers male and female. Starting june 1st I will tell a little story about the wrestlers in question run down their acomplishments and reasons for being on the list.
Oh and ground rules japanese wrestlers only no Wild Pegasus or Stan Hansen and so on. And dispite Masahiro Chono being born in Washington State his parents were japanese citizens and he lived most of his life in japan so expect him on the list. Okay I was going to put Rikidozan on the list but he was Korean and not Japanese but was one of Japanese pro wrestling’s founding fathers so I’m going to mention him right here.
Without him Inoki or Giant Baba wouldn’t have thier start and Gaigins wouldn’t be lured to Japan to wrestle and restart their careers. So look forward to the list on june 1st. Until then
Oh my god! his match is proof that there is such a thing as bad lucha libre. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gtpEZc9oMI My rating for this trainwreck NEGATIVOS CINCOS ASTERISCOES!!!!!or to translate to english MINUS FIVE STARS!!!!
Before anyone begins I loved this match. This might be my favorite match of all time and my old favorite was Kobashi vs Misawa in 2003. (Look it up.) But six stars? Five star hell yes but why six? Meltzer have you finally gone senile, does this mean you rate some dud matches minus 6 stars? Okay I respect the hell out of Dave Meltzer but 6 stars is overboard, however I recommend this match and Wrestle Kingdom 11. In my opinion no other match this year will be this good, some might get the 5 star rating but it would be like comparing Flair vs Steamboat matches which 5 stars was better? To use a japanese term this match was ICHIBAN!!!!!!
Let’s be honest 2016 sucked! With all the deaths and the most devisive election in history I can’t wait for 2017 to begin quite frankly it can’t get any worse right? Right? But dispite all that we saw some good wrestling in 2016 from WWE to New Japan we had a kings ransom of great matches and wrestlers but I’m goin to talk about the wrestlers.
#11 Cody Rhodes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FITbySMOyVo Okay he just barely made the list because in the beginning of the year he was still Stardust until he asked for his release in May since then he’s been on fire Winning WCPW’s first ever Internet championship to winning the not yet dead Global force Next Gen championship.
#10. Drew Galloway https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iha59l4FDNE The Former Drew McIntyre finally broke through the glass ceiling this year as he cashed in his Feast or fired breafcase and became TNA world champion.
#8. Ricochet AKA Prince Puma https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wr0R-QhQAFA Okay he has had a better year in the indies than in LUcha underground but not only that match with Ospreay but a certain 6 man tag in PWG that got a rare 5 star rating from one Dave Meltzer.
#7. KUSHIDA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37kM7eU2tmo If any Junior Heavyweight in New Japan has had a better year than KUSHIDA let me know. A great run with the junior Heavyweight belt from January to October, winning the Super J cup. Need I say more.
#6. Chris Jericho https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHtEfvg2zd0 Even at age 45 he is stil lenteraining so much he got a list over more than the Universal title. Hopfully we get more of the gift of Jericho, Drink it in maaaannnn!!!!
#5. Tetsuya Naito https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPvJ3I15J5s&t=130s Honestly this was Naito’s year to shine. Winning the New Japan cup, Winning the IWGP heavyweight Title and Winning the IWGP IC title.
#4. Jay Lethal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUXRrSmvk1g Do I need to mention his long run as ROH champion. The man keeps getting better. Might get scooped up in WWE’s planned ROH talent raid.
#3. Broken Matt Hardy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AucBG7TERJA You would think at his age he would rest on his laurels but no he reinvented himself this summer and became the most talked about wrestler in 2016 for better or worse. If you disagree with me you will get Deleted!!!! DELETE! DELETE! DELETE! Woah sorry about that.
#2. AJ Styles https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjEc6PfkcWM Wow I was pleasantly surprised how well his WWE run has gone. He won the WWE title in September’s Backlash PPV and still has the gold.
#1 Kenny Omega https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjEc6PfkcWM Who has had a better year in New Japan than Kenny Omega? Defeated Tanahashi for the Vacant IWGP IC title, had a 5 star match at this years G1 against Tetsuya Naito, and became the first Foreigner to win the G1 climax. Let’s hope for another 5 star match at this years wrestle kingdom.
Well those are my pick for wrestlers of the year. Next time I’ll give you matches of the year. Even though it will be 2017 when that will happen I am so slow. Till next time see ya.
Good lord the costume is in CGI, why? WHY? I’m not even talkiing about the movie yet and already I’m mad. The movie is mess, too much CGI not enough story it was so bad that instead of a sequel instead we’ll get a reboot in 2020 called green lantern corps. Just as long as they get rid of the CGI suits.
Next time:
The movie equivalent of Holy Terror!
Thank God he redeemed himself with the Deadpool movie!
