There are very few pro wrestlers in history that have a legitimate claim to the throne of Greatest of All Time. Manami Toyota is one of them. Beginning in the late 80s and retiring in 2017, she was a major part of the success of All Japan Women’s Pro-Wrestling in the 90s. In a time period where women’s divisions weren’t even featured on American wrestling television, Manami Toyota was outworking some of the greatest wrestlers in history on a nightly basis. Her wars with the likes of Akira Hokuto, Aja Kong, Yumiko Hotta, and Bull Nakano stand the test of time as legendary bouts that solidify Toyota’s spot as an icon of the industry. Influential would be an understatement when describing the career of Manami Toyota, so enjoy the playlist we compiled and see the footprints she set on the wrestling business that so many of our favorites today are following in.
