Name your top 5 all-time non-Heavyweight Wrestlers. Here are mine: 1. Keiichi Yamada(Jushin Liger, Jushin "Thunder" Liger, Kishin Liger)- All-Time greatest, and one of my Top 5 wrestlers ever. The guy was a master of the mat and of the air. Brilliant mind and worker. 4 Years straight named best Technical Wrestler and best High Flying wrestler. Innovated the Shooting Star Press. Able to maintain excellent matches throughout his entire career. 2. Yoshihiro Asai(Ultimo Dragon, Tiger Dragon)- Look at my sig and you'll know he's a personal favorite of mine. The man held 10 titles at one point. He was truly an excellent High Flyer. Most common ring name Ultimo Dragon means Last Dragon in Spanish and he truly is the Last Dragon. He truly was an artist in the ring, and was by far one of the most entertaining wrestlers ever 3. Satoru Sayama(Tiger Mask, Super Tiger, Tiger King) The first Tiger Mask was the best Tiger Mask. Even though he only wrestled a few years the matches I saw were simply put phenomenal. Light on his feet and was a blur around the ring definitely a top Junior Heavyweight. Also the only person to simultaneously hold the NWA Junior Heavyweight Title and the WWF Lightweight Title at the same time. 4. Thomas Billington(Dynamite Kid) I don't know if Tyler is athletic in bed as the real Dynamite Kid was in the ring, and nor will I ever. To me aside from Liger, DK is the best pure wrestler on this list. He was tremendous in all aspects of ring work as well. His feud with Tiger Mask(Satoru Sayama) Was one of the best feuds ever. 5. Eddie Llanes(Eddie Guerrero, Black Tiger II) If you really need an explanation, watch him, please, just watch him. Honorable Mention: Shinjiro Ohtani, Rey Misterio, Brian Pillman, Chris Benoit, Keiji Takayama, Masanori Murakawa, Dean Malenko, and Owen Hart Yours? Agree/Disagree?

Rep Power: 9 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: Top 5 Lightweights Havn't heard about most of your picks before. i might have since i've been getting into alot of AA wrestling on the spanish network every saturday 11 PM to 2 AM. <.< i just havn't notcied them. Saw Ultimo in WCW but was too big of a fan of Rey to even watch anyone else. Havn't seen enough of Tigermask yet saw him on TNA once a few weeks ago. AJ Styles-His moves are mostly spot on while still being fast pased. He might not have a HBK, or Bret Hart personality but his movement can't be ignored. You'd think he's on a wire while wrestling to pull off those moves. Rey Mysterio-My childhood teen idol. <.< Machoman(late 80's early 90's)-When i watched him compared to Hogan, warrior, Sgt. Slaughter, etc.. He looked like he had springs in his legs and arms the way he moved. Wasn't blindin speed but he was good enough in my book. can tell who's who in AAA. Got a few people in mind but i never pay attention to their names. Love AAA wrestling. Fast paced, turnbuckle moves, diving out of the ring, masks....Rey Mysterio fan boyism X 10 ![]() | |
