#3 Satoshi Kojima - 2,927
Satoshi Kojima holds the distinction of being the first wrestler to ever wear both AJPW’s Triple Crown Heavyweight Championship and NJPW’s IWGP Heavyweight Championship simultaneously.
He was a star in both companies, and has wrestled back and forth between these two of Japan’s biggest promotions since 1991. Kojima was among many stars from New Japan to leave for All Japan in 2002 when Keiji Mutoh became the new president of AJPW.
Kojima has been a consistent wrestler for many years whose devastating offense included a vicious, Stan Hansen-like Western Lariat that looked like it could cleave his opponent’s head off.
Although Kojima has been wrestling less in recent years due to suffering from multiple injuries, he does have almost 3,000 matches under his belt, which is still a very impressive feat.
