10 best retired wrestlers you have never heard of

#5 Kensuke Sasaki

Kensuke Sasaki reminds me of a Japanese John Cena. In his prime, Sasaki had a ripped physique, was insanely strong, and could take down the biggest of threats with his signature moves.

He was so good, in fact, that Sasaki became one of only two men in history to hold all three of Japan’s top world championships (AJPW’s Triple Crown Heavyweight title, NJPW’s IWGP Heavyweight title, and NOAH’s GHC Heavyweight title).

Sasaki was one those wrestlers that looked like a true wrestler with his excellent physique, and backed it up with impressive offense. Even though he only stood at 5’11, he was so good at what he did that his lack of impressive height became an afterthought as soon as the bell rang.
