1987

[Grimmas]

Who is the greatest wrestler of the year?

[Microstatistics]

This is a surprisingly weak year for wrestling IMO. NJPW is head and shoulders above the rest.

Yoshiaki Fujiwara. Fujinami and Inoki are one tier down.

[EnviousStupid]

I'd go with Choshu, who was maybe the hottest thing in puroresu that year. Extremely strong work across singles, tags, and those NJPW gauntlet matches

Bobby Eaton had a great year.

Carlos Colon - Has a trio of stone cold classics against Hansen in a one of the legendary feuds of the decade and then moves onto one of the most underrated great rivalries ever against Hercules Ayala. 

Runner Up - Austin Idol because we've only really got a good look at the 1st half of his year but he has the greatest US feud ever peaking with the greatest US match ever so he deserves a mention.
