Okay a "10" is like saying the greatest of all time, and in certain ways people could describe Liger as such, however with all things considered he isn't. He obviously wasn't a PPV draw, didn't sell merchandise, or cut compelling (or any) promo's. However he did have some great matches and exposed a certain style of wrestling to American wrestling fans.
Honestly the style would have made it here without him due to Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, and Chris Jericho but that's not really what made Liger great. What made him great was his work in New Japan and being the pioneer and focal point of the modern Junior style. I'd put him in the same category I put Owen Hart, Chris Benoit, Dynamite Kid, and Eddie Guerrero, and he was an influence on most of those guys, as well as their generation.
I give Liger a 9/10 ranking, only because he lacked what guys like Stone Cold Steve Austin and Ric Flair had.
