This has birthed numerous wrestlers who have made the crossover to North America, such as Giulia, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Konosuke Takeshita.

With so many different legends to look at, here are just a few names that should be considered as the most influential wrestlers from Japan.
Despite these regular talent losses, Japan maintains a forceful grasp on wrestling audiences, as the crisp, potent style of wrestling the country offers is unlike anything else within the medium. However, those talent losses will continue to happen as WWE widens its international talent pool, so how would these Japanese stars hypothetically fare in WWE?

Stardom Accomplishments

Future of Stardom Champion (x1)

Although she is confirmed to be leaving Stardom to begin a new life in All Elite Wrestling, it would be remiss to not speculate on how Mina Shirakawa would perform in WWE. A flashy performer, 'The Venus of Pro Wrestling' has been a roaring success in the market-leading Joshi promotion since her 2018 debut.
