Japanese Stars who went to WCW Appreciation

**BollywoodSingh** · 07-23-2010, 11:00 PM

I have fond memories of 2 Japanese wrestlers that I saw from the little I watched of WCW in the early 90's: Jushin Liger and The Great Muta. Only saw a couple of matches from them, but I always remembered them.

The first time I saw Jushin Liger, I became an instant fan. I saw him at Starrcade '91 in his tag match and in the Battle Bowl match. But I didn't see much of him after that.

The Great Muta is another Japanese wrestler I remember from my childhood from WCW. I think he won the Battle Bowl match in 1992 and then faced Windham and I also remember him teaming up with Sting against the Steiner Brothers on a WCW PPV around 92 or 93. I think the PPV was in Japan. Didn't see him again until he was in the nWo with Masahiro Chono.

But my favourite Japanese wrestler that went to WCW has got to be Ultimo Dragon. He was awesome in 1997 with Sunny Onoo as his manager. He should have got pushed when he went to WWE, but I remember reading that McMahon wasn't impressed with him and was expecting a high-flying Rey Mysterio type wrestler.
