My Take
To me, Ultimo Dragon is one of the most quietly important figures in modern wrestling. Leaving Aichi to master lucha libre in Mexico took real courage, and his blend of high-flying agility and technical precision shaped a whole generation of cruiserweight style. What I admire most now is his second act: rather than chasing the spotlight, he pours himself into training young talent at Dragon Gate. That Hall of Fame nod feels earned, not ceremonial. I always respect athletes who turn hard-won knowledge into a gift for others, and he embodies that better than most.
