Not just Hello Kitty, but Sanrio (HK's owners) as a whole. And yet Aggretsuko is never considered in these collabs. Get on to that Sanrio! LUCHA RETSUKO NEEDS TO EXIST~!

Was there a single Japanese talent in WCW that didn't have that exact theme at one point?

Only exception was Ultimo Dragon.

I mostly associate it with Liger because it was his theme for the opening match on the first Nitro with Brian Pillman.

Mercedes namedropped CMLL as placed where she'd defend The Women's Title.
I don't think they could afford her price range.
