Regional Representation

[GOTNW]

Self-explanatory, thought it'd be interesting to compare how many wrestlers we'd rank from a certain region, I'm splitting it Japan-Mexico-Europe-US&friends. Currently jap folks make up a little over half of my list, I have between 15-20 lucha guys and the rest is mostly US with some safe EU picks like Finlay, Han and Breaks thrown in there.

Technically, wouldn't Finlay and Han be in different regions? US & Japan?

I'm using where they mainly worked rather than where they were from. And I've got 31 from USA, 65 from Japan, and 4 from Mexico.

I may have Mr. Saito for Japan.

I approve of this but I would also tell you to give Fujinami a chance. If I can get into him surely you can. If I was doing a singles ballot I would also probably put Onita on too.

I kept falling asleep during the Chavo vs Fujinami match. I gave up on that idea back in August.

 

I have a loose plan to get the NJPW DVDVR 80s set AFTER the deadline though.

 

I can only get so much familiarity between now and the deadline and I'm focusing on the last set of lucha guys I really need to work out (Solar, Villano III, Perro, Sr. Navarro, Black Terry, etc) and the WoS guys (Breaks, Grey, Cortez, Collins, etc), plus the few US guys I have a problem ranking (Vader, for instance).

I find classification much easier this way.
