favorite wrestlers!!!!

this page is dedicated to some of my favorite wrestlers! old, new, active, retired, doesn't matter. as a wrestling fan with autism i wanna have some place where i can talk about them! will be updated from time to time.

TARZAN GOTO

found out about him through my friend jom (@/maybejom on twitter), started off in All Japan Pro Wrestling in the early 1980s before becoming one of the top stars of Atsushi Onita's Frontier Martial Arts Wrestling throughout the 1990s. Big fan of his bouts with Chainsaw Charlie (aka Terry Funk), Atsushi Onita, Sabu. Very intense, very good. 10/10.

one of the most technically fluid and fun to watch wrestlers on the american indies right now. graduate of the london school of lucha libre & the nightmare factory, current GrapHouse WRLD champion and former TWE Undisputed Champion. (one of the longest reigning champs iirc!) absolutely love his blend of high flying offense & technical wrestling, really nice guy to talk to and an honest inspiration. hope he gets signed by a big company one day!

EDDIE KINGSTON

one of the absolute greatest independent workers of the last decade, signed to AEW in July 2020 and since then has been one of the GOATs on that roster. hoping he can come back soon and win the AEW World Championship. amazing brutal feuds & matches with guys like Claudio Castagnoli, Chris Hero, Jon Moxley, Bryan Danielson, even somebody like 2020s Chris Jericho... one of the best talkers as well. eternal struggler, forever addressing his enemies.

DANIEL MAKABE

woefully underrated journeyman wrestler with an absolutely vast knowledge of wrestling. genuine inspiration to myself to watch more wrestling in general and learn all that i can. part of the inspiration as to why i'm getting into backyard wrestling, too! the series of matches with tim thatcher is just a small part of an absolutely beautiful volume of matches against some of the best on the independent scene. hopefully he can get that match with bryan danielson this year, but more people should study daniel makabe.

  • Match Recommendations:
  • vs. Kevin Ku - Scenic City Invitational 2024 (07/12/2024)
  • literally any of the Timothy Thatcher matches - 3-2-1 Battle!, wXw, ACTION, (2017, 2019, 2024)

    • VIOLENCE IS FOREVER (DOM GARRINI & KEVIN KU)

    one of the best tag teams not currently signed by a massive company like wwe or aew, wrestles all around the globe and has picked up multiple tag team championships to prove it for places like gcw, deadlock pro, black label pro, etc. numerous great tag match runs against a literal whose who of teams and on a singles level both garrini and ku are very competent and can hold their own. plus "zombie" by the cranberries is an insanely good song
