OK so i was reading about Kassius Ohno getting the pink slip and this got me thinking about how many wrestlers from Japan have really made it big in the states? I can say without a doubt i haven't researched this topic so I don't have all the names correct. But I think it is a reasonable question. I remember Tajiri, Funaki The Great Muta, Ultimo Dragon, Jushin Liger(althought to be honest i was never sure if he was Japanese or mexican), among a few others that never really made a difference.
Now The Great Muta was probably the biggest star in my opinion. Funakis' time has Smackdown's #1 announcer was just short of awesome. But i am trying to think of a Japanese wrestler that actually challenged for a world tittle or even a decent lower title.
