What a matchup this would be

Going Gunther, not sure if that's shocking to anyone but I think when all is said and done he'll have a career that won't meet Misawa's but will be respectably close which is insane to say. I did expect to vote for Misawa for at least a round bc his 2000s were still mostly great just nothing compared to the 80s and 90s but man Gunther is a real GOAT for me

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

Misawa's 90s stuff blows away most of his 00s stuff by a country mile. I really gotta go with Gunther here.

 

[Death By Looch]

Gonna go with WALTER here, but I can see Misawa going deep when we do the 20th century. He'd definitely deserve that.

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

Yeah if this was a 90s best wrestler, Misawa probably wins the whole fuckin' thing.

 

[Chris]

All time Misawa is top 5 for me but yeah splitting up his decades always gonna damage him against others, no issue with me it's just how years work lol

 

[Death By Looch]

Yeah if this was a 90s best wrestler, Misawa probably wins the whole fuckin' thing.

Very likely not, tbh. Not because of Misawa, but because of the handicap that he wasn't in a major NA company during that time. I hope I'm wrong with that though.
