Greatest Gaijin in AJPW History

[JustS2pendous]

Who has been the greatest/your favourite tourist in AJPW history?

[Luds]

Where's Vader? He is a 2 time TC winner...

[JustS2pendous]

You know I completely foprgot about The Mastadon. Apologies, ok, Vader votes or those for others such as DiBiase, Furnas, Kroffat, Patriot, Singh, Sheik, Abdullah, Barton, Kronic(joke), will be posted please

[Mutoh-Mania]

My vote goes to Big Van Vader

[Rex Idol]

Hansen. One of my all time favorites.

[Lariat]

Definitely Stan "the man" Hansen. He signifies how valuable a Gaijin is for a wrestling company in Japan. Also, he had an excellent 4 star match with Misawa which should count for something.

[JustS2pendous]

As great as Hansen was in All Japan, I think his mist impressive moment in his illustrious carrer has to be getting a couple of decent matches out of Lex Luger back in the NWA in '90

I wouldn't have wanted The Bad Man From Borger wanting to take about 10 lbs outta my backside

[JustS2pendous]

Maybe Hansen should come out of retirement to challenge the excellence sales force known as Kronic

[Mutoh-Mania]

"Big" Van Vader to teach a lesson to Kronic...can't you see these two shooting on the "champs" (make note of quotes around the word champs)

[OldSchoolFan]

The REAL Bamm Bamm Terry Gordy. Before his accident he was just awesome to watch.

The Sensational Intelligent Destroyer is the greatest gaijiin in All Japan history with Hansen a very close second. Without the sucsess of Mr. Beyer there would have been know insurgence of foreign talnt in All Japan. After Lou Thesz faced Rikidozan, the Destroyer picked up the slack. The Destroyer's match against Rikidozan is still the most watched wrestling match in Japanese history. The Destroyer came to All Japan as the PWF United States Champion and had many epic battles against Baba. He made it viable for Americans to wreestle full time in Japan and paved the way for all the greats you named.

[Rex Idol]

That's an excellent point. I always forget about The Destroyer.

Stan get's my vote

[NineSpiral]

I had to vote for Bruiser Brody myself - i'm sorry, but i just totally mark out for him every time i see one of his matches... with the exception of Mick Foley, has there *ever* been a better brawler?
