1985

Who is the greatest wrestler of the year?

Done with 1985 and the podcast should be up on Monday. There ended up being a lot of great candidates, but this was really the AJW show.

Yeah, AJW absolutely dominated 1985. Probably Chigusa Nagayo, though, frankly, all the big names (Jaguar Yokota, Devil Masami, Lioness Asuka, Dump Matsumoto, Bull Nakano) have cases.

For non-AJW personnel, Jerry Lawler, Butch Reed, Greg Valentine, and Super Tiger had noteworthy years

Dump

Runner Up - Chigusa

One of the easiest #1's and #2's ever.

Chigusa had an amazing 1985. My runner up is Dump, it was close though.

Definitely need to see more 1985 AJW based on everyone's comments, damn! I'll say Ted DiBiase for 1985. His work in Mid South as singles performer and his team with Dr. Death would be enough BUT he was also crushing it in AJPW with Stan the Man - its the cherry on top. 

I could see Duggan but I think the middle of '85 dipped for me as he was working Skandor Akbar & Kimala, I believe 🤔 The beginning with Ted & end versus Slater & Buzz Sawyer were both phenomenal though.
