1. Chuck Taylor (AEW, 34) - Like Chuck Taylor is going to have to have done so serious poo poo to get around being the entire point I am wrestling fan to begin with. Chuck Taylor rules. 2. Mei Suruga (Gatoh Move/ChocoPro/ 3. Yuka Sakazaki (TJPW/AEW, Eternal) - Probably the actual best wrestler on this list Yuka Sakazaki loving rules so hard. As the Ace of TJPW during the period I have become a fan of the promotion, it's super clear how she is the best wrestler on the planet and her time in AEW has proven that she doesn't need the English language to become a crossover hit and draw in the US. The duo of greatest shames this year was that Yuka was announced as returning to AEW at the show I was at rather than returned herself, as well as the pandemic prevented her from being a central figure in AEW's women's division. Yuka Sakazaki Rules. 4. Miyu Yamashita (TJPW, 25) - Miyu Yamashita is the coolest wrestler ever. That is the end of the story. Miyu Yamashita rules. 5. Maki Itoh (TJPW, 25) - Maki Itoh is super interesting because she really has a lot of texture to her performance where she splits being petulant and needy with also being a super great underdog. A great comedy performer who became a very good wrestler by the time I was watching her. Maki Itoh rules. 6. Hyper Misao (TJPW, 30) - Hyper Misao is a loving artist and I cannot stress how important that is during the year where the sport of professional wrestling reached its ultimate form as an art piece as it lost the crowd. Hyper Misao rules. 7. Chris Brookes (DDT/ChocoPro, 29) - Chris Brookes rules. 8. Yuki Kamifuku (TJPW, 27) -  E I E I O. Kamiyu rules. 9. Saki Akai (DDT/ 10. Emi Sakura (Gatoh Move/AEW/ChocoPro, 44) - You know how I described Hyper Misao as an artist and how important that was, Emi Sakura's response as a wrestling promoter to the pandemic has driven wrestling as a medium forward in a way that should be seeing more imitators. The entire ChocoPro Wrestling paradigm is such a wild concept and the fact that the move to no crowds resulted in a specific anti-paywall stance and the addition of more random content from the wrestlers of the Emi Sakura-verse all centers to on conclusion, and that is that Emi Sakura rules.

Mid-Life Crisis Okada seems like entirely my poo poo, but I just sort of fell off New Japan super hard.

RealFoxy posted:Yuka Sakazaki's age is just a rumor, it's not public info anywhere iirc and she's probably a lot older than 24 Yeah, Yuka needs to be in the formula as an ∞, as a djinn she's eternal.

Grumble grumble, the innovator of the Whirling Candy was robbed of a higher position. https://twitter.com/ddtpro_eng/status/1325166802658238467

SG Bamboo posted:Picking a top ten will be even harder for me this year since I started watching twice as many promotions regularly this year (up to 6 now). One thing's for sure, it'll have Miyu on it because she's the coolest and best. I already know my top three: Mei Suruga, Miyu Yamashita, Chuck Taylor. I guess I'm just going to be dropping in TJPW names after that.
