Hokuto the goat but can't dismiss dimes drawn through merch so I think Toyota gets the nod when push comes to shove
>>19335431Nice selfie faggot.
>actual wrestling thread>the terminally resident schizos come in to bitch about itYeah, I wonder why no one wants to post on this board.
>>19335441I mean, it raises a good question. What are we talking about when we say the Michaels? Is the person who is the GOAT and still draws like a GOAT suddenly the Jannetty if someone not quite on the same level (but still undeniably talented) happens to draw a bit better?
I prefer Hokuto, has better selling and fire.
>>19335427Akira was sensational and you could say she's better but for me there is simply NO OTHER next to Manami ToyotaHer grace, her entrance, her simple beauty. Her absolute NO FUCKS GIVEN attitude, throwing her life to the wind to attack her opponent in any way she can. The most stylish and sloppy top rope plancha of all time, the most stylish and sloppy missile dropkicks, she can wrestle on the mat, in the air, high speed, low speed, she had power, she had technique, she had the dare devil energy. I've never, ever seen anyone like her, put everything together the way that she did.She also wore the absolute best womens wrestling outfit of all time.https://youtu.be/QWy2mKr2hj0
>>19335698I like Toyota a lot but I agree, Hokuto straight up scares me and that's a dimes quality for a wrestler in my book
>>19335706Yeah, Manami was very much presentation. Which is a huge part of pro-wrestling. Still, Hokuto had so much good presentation as well and some fantastic entrance attire.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G57eypRrBzwManami was good looking though while Akira definitely wasn't.
>>19335434It's an actual wrestling thread with better wrestling than anything that's been done in the past 25 years so why don't you shut the fuck up for a change and actually learn something outside what you're familiar with.
>>19335726She had an incredible monster heel persona with that kabuki style, oh yes. Straight out super sentai or some other retro Japanese action series.But I just think Manami is GLOWING as a babyface. The Flying Angel is literally the most radiant wrestler I've ever seen take the stage, with her traditional gowns and elegance. Only challenged by someone like Iyo Sky, or now we have Stephanie Vaquer.https://youtu.be/pL4RpVGlH2w
>>19335761You make a very strong case, and it's so great to read someone speaking glowingly about someone instead of just shitting on the other person for a change. I mean, they're both greats.As an aside, I feel like Aja is so underrated in this conversations. Not kino or attractive but she feels like she's always, "other person in these great matches that these greats have," it that makes sense.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4055UJzn1aU
>>19335776>this conversations*these
>>19335776Oh no way, classic joshi is all appreciation all the time for me. There's no console war there. It's just good fucking wrestling, passion, incredible bumps.....pretty insane how well their work has aged. Every single match, they work like it's the main event. And now everyone is working like this, doing top rope sunset flip powerbombs and shit! Absolutely amazing to think about how good this stuff is.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Aqv6OS-vbM
>>19335796As it should be. It's much better than anyone who's never seen it even suspects. Every once in a while I see threads go up by people unfamiliar with it who speculate that, if joshi existed back then, it would just be porn... it's a shame this stuff wasn't more prominent in the US at the time.I'm thinking you posted this one in the last one of these threads I posted, I'll post it as well as counterbalance.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVqfKzW7UPI
>>19335726I honestly think Hokuto's presentation beats Minami's by a wide margin. Hokuto always had the elaborate entrance gears and ring gear. Minami never deviated much from the swimsuit base until she became an oba and we entered the denim pants era.
Did WCW create a championship just for Minami Toyota where in the tournament to crown the first champion, Minami entered the tournament twice, with one being under a mask? I don't think so
>>19335822Hokuto had aura and when she did shit it felt like it had impact, I like modern joshi but no one today compares - not Iyo, not Mayu, no one.
>>19335427Bull was better than both, but Hokuto is much better than Toyota. Toyota does more movez so Meltzer liked her and smarks are sheep.
GOAT themehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7F83UQXf-QAlso Akira and husbando Sasaki are relationship goals
>>19335857>ywn have loud passionate sex with Hokuto in a North Korean hotel
>>19335857Sasaki killed a guy but I feel like Akira could hold her own if they got into a fight. Not win mind you but cause a lot of damage
>>19335854Nakano was phenomenal of course but I personally prefer Hokuto. But it's nice to have some solid joshi representation in the WWE HoF.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXxnwkJMxGg
>>19335427Saya clears
>>19335923I like Saya alright but she doesn't even hold a candle and she'd be the first to tell you that.And she doesn't draw on the level these two did.
take me back to the 90s bros
>>19335940I'd play that game.Oh wait, I did and it was every bit as based at the time as this ad would suggest.
>>19335434Its youtube links to 80s wrestling on a wrestling board. Meanwhile you are seemingly impersonating 4chan moderation. Go make a nash thread faggot
>>19335857Fuck this is an awesome pic. Is it cool if i save a copy? I may legit get it printed on a coffee mug.
>>19335991Not only is it cool, it's absolutely imperative that you do.
>>19335991have another
>>19335427Toyota was the person smarks and Meltzer loved because she did the heckin' big moverinos and wrestled a spotfest style (where she'd botch and bonce her ronce half the time). Hokuto was the actual big star of the time while she was actually around along with Aja and Kyoko. After they all left and they started pushing Toyota as the big star, she was less over than Kaoru Ito and probably LCO.If you mean just wrestling, Hokuto was better than Toyota in-ring too.
It's sad that no one goes like this anymore. Not modern joshis. Not even men. No one.
Hokuto is so far superior to Toyota as a worker that isn’t even funny. Toyota is possibly the single most overrated wrestler, a sloppy spotmonkey.
>>19336561yeah for sure if you say so kek
This is the G.O.A.T. promotional photo.
>>19336827Agreed, along with this one
Toyota and Kong clear Hokuto by quantity of great matches desu
>>19335934>Saya's apparently great because she rips off Ibushi
>>19337054>0:45>that fucking top rope springboard sunset flip roll up out of nowhereGod damn, this is why I love her so much. She was a cat
>>19337054this sucks, don't they know they should telegraph every move and do soi faces
>>19337180Her top rope springboard blows me away every time.
the weak should fear the strong
>>19336871Kong might low key be the GOAT, but no one wants to hear that
