151. Akira Hokuto

Jan 09, 2015
Published in WWE
151. Akira Hokuto
Possibly the toughest female wrestler of any generation, Akira Hokuto was also damn good.  She made sporadic appearances in the United States, but her matches are still sought after on YouTube and her legend continues to grow.  Japanese female wrestling may not have the luster it once had, but to those who followed it, Hokuto is considered its queen.

308. Kendo Nagasaki

Jan 08, 2015
Published in WWE
308. Kendo Nagasaki
Some fans may remember a Kendo Nagasaki who competed in various promotions in North America as a mid card heel.  However, in the United Kingdom the original Kendo Nagasaki was a white British man named Peter Thornley who was actually the biggest draw in England for years.  Thornley was not a well built man, nor was he technically skilled, but he created a character that captured the imaginations of wrestling fans.  Could that type of resume ever mean anything to a wrestling Hall of Fame based in North America?

201. The Crush Gals

Jan 09, 2015
Published in WWE
201. The Crush Gals
The Crush Gals only wrestled a handful of times in the United States but in Japan they became the most popular and biggest draw of women’s wrestling in Japan.  They were not the first female Japanese tag team to become successful, but they hit levels of popularity that haven’t been seen by any female combatant before or since.  Chigusa Nagayo would later show her acumen for the business as the founder of the GAEA promotion in Japan and trained many women to enter the business.  Had they been the team (instead of the Jumping Bomb Angels) who captured the imaginations of WWF fans in 1987, they may have had a remote shot.

158. Viscera

Jan 09, 2015
Published in WWE
158. Viscera
There will always be a place for very large men in wrestling, especially a six hundred pound one who was as mobile as Viscera.  Starting off in the WWF as Mabel in one half of the friendly rapping duo, Men on A Mission, he slowly morphed into a bad ass heel that someone his size was designed to be.  After winning the King of the Ring in 1995, he fought all the other big men of the Federation.  He would return in a lesser role on the card, this time as Viscera, but despite his reduced role, he did his job well and few men had longer tenures in the WWE that he had.
