10 Arguably the Greatest Female Wrestler of All Time.

Hell, just watch her matches with Aja Kong or Kyoko Inoue.

Can't really go off gimmicks or mic work here.

@mrken12 close the thread we got all the votes we need here. Average the votes and call it a day. :troll:

Love her. One of the GOAT female wrestlers. Those AJW girls had some great battles in the 90s :wow:

Ill Lou Malnati · Mar 14, 2018

Never heard of this person in my life. I'll sit this one out and read the comments.

Try to slander my queen and I'd spit in your face :pacspit:

DaKidFromNoWhere · Mar 14, 2018

I saw some kind of compilation video of 90s wrestlers and she was featured I was like who the fukk is that? :gladbron:

Got her name went to Wiki and when I read her accomplishments all the 5 star matches I had to go back and watch her matches on Youtube
Pound for pound she has to be considered the GOAT female if you watch her work.
Just imagine Asuka touching a meteor that fell from space and it gave her special powers after she touched it.
You would have this woman. :wow:

MightyHealthy · Mar 14, 2018

Tremendous workrate, basically the first to consistently perform and/or popularize moves for not just women's wrestling, but men's as well.

I'm not going to pretend to be an expert, or that I truly understand the scope of her legendary status...

...but when she retired, the videos were put out there, and I was thoroughly entertained.

She could play so many "parts" in a ring, and her ring presence and timing were something else. She could go.

JohnB · Mar 14, 2018

For those who never heard of her i highly recommend checking out a couple matches, she's the GOAT women's wrestler. She puts most of the girls today to shame.

Berniewood Hogan · Mar 14, 2018

Possibly the GOAT wrestler, period.

Same.

I ain't really get into her until after she retired. The one time I take Double Talk at face value and watched most of the 17 matches he rated 5 stars and

:wow:

Just.

And she was doing this in the early 90s :wow:

. Way before Steph McMahon-Combs got all in the videos with her "womens revolution"

mr.africa · Mar 15, 2018
