5 pro-wrestlers with the most number of 5-star matches

#2 Kenta Kobashi – 23 five-star matches

Kobashi might be the greatest worker of all time

We're reaching an absurd number of five-star matches over here, and this is still the penultimate entry on this list. Coming in second with a mind-boggling 23 five-star matches is the mythical Kenta Kobashi.

The man is absurdly talented and considered the greatest wrestler of all-time by a number of wrestling journalists and fans from all around the world. His rivalries with Mitsuharu Misawa and Toshiaki Kawada are instant classics, and if you just see any one of his five-star matches, it becomes abundantly clear why he was awarded so many.

Another interesting fact about Kobashi is that he invented The Burning Hammer. Widely considered the most dangerous move in all of wrestling, he only used it seven times over the course of his career which started in 1988 and ended in 2013.
