I wish he was a contender. He is the best possible shoot style jobber leaning forward into strikes and always failing to block them. Has a real underdog charm. I just don't think that's enough resume for this.

UWFi's Barry Horowitz.

The Masakatsu Funaki brawl is one of the best matches ever so that's half his case alone. Not sure I'll have the time for a focused revision and analysis of his career but he is a lock.

Looks like Ed from 90 Day Fiancé, wrestles like a god of war with a nose made of glass.

I'd be ashamed not to lock a guy like him in, one of the most exciting shootstyle workers, never overstaying his welcome and bringing the ugliness to match a frantic, chaotically paced fight wherever he went. Doesn't even matter to me if he wasn't much other than a jobber and rarely went over 10 minutes, he built his case of being concise and violent.

My favourite jobber ever. He's a highlight of UWFi along with Tamura and Anjo. Would recommend his matches with Anjo, Yamazaki, Kanehara, Miyato and Tenryu.

He was incredible at receiving beatings like in his match against Funaki in 1989 when he ended up busted open by a vicious kick. I don't consider him for this conversation though.
