377. Devil Masami
Devil Masami was one of the great Japanese Joshi performers of the early, and she was a true trailblazer of women's wrestling.  She was physically strong and fast and was the perfect size to be believable against any opponent regardless of their skill set.  She should get more credit as she went up against the best in the business and made them better, but for some reason, she seems to fall in that second tier of great Japanese women’s workers from her time period.  She would later become a star in JWP and GAEA.
