Hello

 

I was looking for some good examples of wrestlers that would be worth looking at in terms of a diachronic look (over time) and a more synchronic look (same time), with perhaps different territories/regions/promotions instead.

 

What I was looking for is maybe some examples of wrestlers who would not only fit nicely within either way of analysing, but would actively be interesting to look at.

 

I was thinking someone like a Shinjiro Ohtani might be worth a look - Dr Wagner Jr, perhaps? Looking at older lucha, his NJPW stuff and modern brawls.

 

Any other good ideas?

Cheers

Timothy Thatcher and all the other grapple-fuckers in RINGS/UWFI/BattleArts and vice-versa Volk Han in Evolve

 

Matt Tremont or Necro Butcher in FMW

 

And the real fun could Ric Flair get over in modern WWE?

I'm thinking of guys who could be modified Eddie Gilberts: manage and work, but up and down the card including big main events. Punk is pretty obvious. It has to be someone who seems right as a manager at a fairly young age and doesn't seem bigger/like a better athlete than their charges.
