Qualifying Credentials:4x IWGP Champion, NWA World Champion (1993)
One of the all-time legends in Japan. Dubbed one of the "Three Musketeers" in Japan, due to his dominance with Masahiro Chono and Shinya Hashimoto. Also one of the few Japanese superstars to also have made a name in the States. One of
only two men two have held the All Japan, New Japan, and NWA World Titles.
Qualifying Credentials:WCW US Champion (2000), WWF Intercontinental Champion (1995)
One of the cornerstones of the Old ECW. Competed in WWF and WCW in the early 90s as a soft spoken babyface, but developed a brash, cocky attitude after leaving WCW. Infamously threw down the NWA Title after winning a tournament in 1994,
ushering in the Extreme Championship Wrestling Era. Is now semi-retired, but still makes independent appearances.
