I've been on this forum long enough to where this doesn't surprise me. Take Pillman out and Ultimo would of went over a lot of other "American" based wrestlers. and that's why I like the site because guys here have a strong passion for Indy's and Japanese wreslting and Luchalibre and all that.
I respect the votes of the Dragon fans (even though pancakes has zero posts here ) , but to me, the States has always been the spotlight of wrestling. From the NWA to AWA to the WWE. So it's hard for me to even consider a guy who got over for a couple months in the States over a guy who was involved in multiple big angles/matches throughout his 8 year run in National Promotions in the states. Ultimo is a very underated wrestler if you were to take into acount the thoughts of every wreslting fan ever. He probably wouldn't get the respect that he deserves. But to me, Pillman just has just left so much more on the table and such a lasting impact/legacy then Ultimo ever will Last edited by Loose Cannon; 06-07-2009 at 02:53 AM. |

I understand that, but Japan is not as popular as the States when it comes to wrestling. I guess that's another debate, but to me, Japan is where guys go to start out and learn how to wrestle to get to the states (WWE now). I bet most wrestling fans know nothing of what Ultimo did in Japan. I'm not saying it's not important, but it's the truth. Only your hardcore fanbase would care enough

Wrestling is probably bigger in Japan than it is in the states to be fair.
But the thing is, half the people in here know nothing about Ultimio's career in Japan, and may have only heard about it through some manner. Point is, for us who follow wwe right now, and any other american promotion that was or still is running today, Pillman easily left a bigger influence and better body of work. Ultimo winning this thing is fucked up. |

Might be quicker to ask Zen to make a list of people Pillman is not better than.

I have to wonder if Zen started blowing Pillman before or after he was in the Hart Foundation.

I can't believe you that you would have Ultimo Dragon lose to a guy that dressed up in caution tape and wore a fucking blue superhero costume!!!!!!111

My original point Zen, which I don't think you really got, was that you can make anything in professional wrestling sound absolutely fucking ridiculous with the right tone. Savage dressed up like a christmas ornament half the time and I would say he's better than Pillman.

I made it on time(not really)
Ultimo Dragon is a better wrestler that had a bigger impact.He influence not only Jr Heavyweight wrestling in Japan but Lucha Libre and cruiserweight wrestling as well. Pillman really didn't do anything close to Dragon level of impact. Jumping from WCW to ECW was not a big Impact. If anything,Austin transition was WAYYYYYYYYY better. Hollywood blondes was a great tag team but nothing groundbreaking. The early lightweight stuff with Liger had a small influence in the US but it was nothing new everywhere else. Let's not talk about matches. Dragon matches in 97 ALONE is better than Pillman's in his whole career. |
