My Take
Taka Michinoku is the kind of wrestler I have endless respect for: at 173 cm he was never going to overpower anyone, so he won with speed, technique, and ring intelligence instead. His lucha-influenced aerial work helped open Japanese audiences to a lighter, faster style, and his long run in New Japan, including his time in Suzuki-gun, shows real staying power. What I admire most is his second act as a trainer, passing the craft forward. To me he embodies the truth that size is never destiny in this sport; ingenuity and discipline carve the path.
