@delirous8All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling AJW Championship (1 time) All Pacific Championship (2 times) IWA World Women's Championship (1 time) WWWA World Heavyweight Championship (4 times) WWWA World Tag Team Championship (3 times) AAAW Singles Championship (1 time) AAAW Tag Team Championship (1 time) JWP Openweight Division Champion (1 time) JWP Tag Team Championship (1 time) Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame Just a few achievement this just say she is one of the greatest.
I don't know if you already knew but Toyota is going over to the US to compete for Chikara. vs. Daizee Haze and then again w/ Mike Quackenbush vs. Claudio Castagnoli & Sara Del Rey. Really looking forward 2 it :)
before you tube i had never had the privilege of seeing manami in action. I thought no one could be that good.... until i saw her work, i think she is one of the greatest of all time
I will say, that her match with Aja Kong from 11/20/94 (most of the footage in this vid is from this match) is one of my all time favorites and this is coming from someone who has seen all of Kobashi's, Misawa's, Kawada's, Akiyama's and Taue's 5* matches.
No wonder she is considered one of the greatest wrestlers in the world period. I feel like I just saw AJ Stles, Ultimo Dragon, Sting, Jushin Thunder Liger, Eddie Guerrero and Brian Pillman all rolled into one person.
What a technical genius. Just effective moves that really take advantage of the feminine physique and stuff that is plain effective. And just fun stuff overall.
@abSOULuteD Yeah sorry I was just annoyed when I wrote that. Although, Kelly Kelly was a friggin bikini model when they hired her. Maybe she was just supposed to do promotional stuff and segments but then ended up learning to wrestle. If so that's still really unfair to all the women who can wrestle that want a big break in the WWE.
@stombstone so true. Look at layla she was a cheerleader for the lakers, Aksana and Katelyn were in the bodybuilding competitions to. I don't know why WWE jus can't ive them the push they need. Damn the looks they can look good posing for photos for the website but nce they hit the ring a lil less is jus fine
And it's not just a recent practice, either. I seem to remember the first Tough Enough, where one of the women picked said flat out that the only reason she wanted to be in the WWF(at the time) was to do a Playboy spread. She's picked, while three others who said they wanted to be the next Chyna were sent packing.
Footage that left me speechless. She seemed so light and fragile and... boneless back in days. Yet, she kicked soooo much ass! Victory Star Drop FOREVER!
The woman, the myth, the legend - "The Platinum Flying Angel" Manami Toyota. I am privilege to have witnessed a woman who not only revolutionized women's wrestling, but re-defined pro wrestling PERIOD!
Love the top ten...from all the comments I see, I can guess that she was a highly regarded female wrestler. I'm so jealous of all of you that get to watch Joshi. I was too young to understand when we did have Joshi on TV.
Even now, 2009...She's STILL lightyears ahead of some of the female performers in the game, because she was ahead of her time back in the 90's. The only woman I'd put above her is Bull Nakano. Manami Toyota = Win...nuff said.
absolutely she is the best female Wrestler I have ever seen in my life !!!

I find it so funny that in North America people think Trish Stratus is the greatest female wrestler ever.
delirous8 9 months ago 3
@delirous8 It just shows you that female wrestling in North America is kind of a joke compared to Japan. Trish is VERY overrated.
markinator123 9 months ago 5
@markinator123 i think it is mainly because she "improved" so much and she was given the best booking of any woman of her time.
Plus she was "hot"
I respect her but i think she is very overhyped and overrated I don't see anything special to make her the greatest women wrestler ever.
