Brian Christopher carved a decent career for himself in Memphis and became a fixture in the Light Heavyweight Division in the WWF.  That same division allowed Scott Taylor to finally get some airtime on television.  They would be paired up to form “Too Much” and they found themselves a slightly larger spot on WWF broadcasts.  Shockingly, it was when they morphed into Grandmaster Sexay and Scotty 2 Hotty respectively, the rechristened team of “Too Cool” would deliver some of the biggest pops of the night.

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.

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?

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.
