Let me know your thoughts on my list and if i have any wrong i'll fix it,also I only added my 5 favorite champs as I couldn't add more than 20 pictures.

Nishimura was representing the old guard of technical wrestling, having a style completely based off the Inoki/Dory Jr matches from 1969 and 1970.

Plain black trunks and boots, the only colors he wore was for his entrance robes (exactly like Inoki).

His technical style was a perfect blending of strength and body control. Purposely slow and methodical. It sets ups tensions for the upcoming inevitable Strong-Style of the match.

Akihito Terui on the other side took a different approach to wrestling under the name of Milano Collection A.T. An Italian Fashion Model gimmick

Walking out to the ring with an invisible fake pet dog while wearing glossy robes and sunglasses, it would be very natural to have a flashy wrestling moveset.

It's difficult to explain his style. It's technical while fast-paced, there's more amphasis on the complicated set-ups and transitions moreso than the submissions in itself.

And there's nothing wrong with that, if anything, the movements are beautiful to look at.

Not to mention that he can do a little of bit of high flying and lucha libre as well.

In 2005, after leaving Dragon Gate, Milano would spend close to a year in America working dates for ROH and most notably CHIKARA where he would cross path with Nishimura one time, who himself had several trips to America, his first one going back to 1993.

The match was the 3rd round of the 2006 CHIKARA Tag World Grand Prix 2006 Tournament.

Those two sequences that I shared from the match aren't really special watching as a casual fan. It's Nishimura doing his routine spots with Milano being a good dancing partner. But watching it for the first time means so much to me.

It's two wrestlers that represents different approaches to wrestling while having a very common style. And most importantly it's two of my favourite wrestlers ever.

I wish that Milano never got injured and I wish Nishimura was still with us.

Life is tough. R.I.P. Osamu

This is something that involves Beat Takeshi, that's all i know

My possibly controversial ranking of every non Japanese wrestler to hold the championship from best to worst
