Finn Balor once called Jushin Liger ‘timeless’ due to how much influence he has on the entire pro wrestling industry, which is 100% true. However, one thing that most people tend to forget about Liger is just how much he has wrestled.

Whether it was under his birth name (Keiichi Yamada) or under the mask as Liger (or under some other variation), he has been wrestling nonstop since March 3rd, 1984. In other words, Liger’s pro wrestling career has spanned over 34 years, and he has wrestled in almost four thousand matches.

That averages out to about 114 matches per year, which makes sense since NJPW’s schedule doesn’t require as many frequent shows as WWE. Nevertheless, Liger’s number of matches is significantly higher than anyone else on this list, which is a testament to how much passion the now-53-year-old Liger has for pro wrestling.
