Cool so far, but Rikidozan deserved higher. The man practically invented Japanese wrestling.

Cool so far, but Rikidozan deserved higher. The man practically invented Japanese wrestling. I agree, but votes were very few and far between for him, which is a shame. I`ve got a few of his matches on my computer and for the time he wrestled the guy was lightyears ahead of his time. As I`ve said, there are some less conventional choices in the list, and some of them are still coming Thanks bro |

Fair enough. I do suppose it's too much to ask for a large number of fans to vote for someone they haven't heard of, no matter how influential they've been. C'est la vie.
Just curious, stryker, did you vote in this?
