10 Best Wrestling Talkers Of 2018

10. Minoru Suzuki

Trust the pretentious Japanese wrestling fan to include a guy whose native tongue he can't even understand - but those terrifying promos are translated, thanks to New Japan World. And, from those blocks of black and white text, we can infer that Minoru Suzuki is as capable of destroying his opponents verbally as he is slapping the sh*t out of them.

Immediately after storyline injuring company Ace Hiroshi Tanahashi earlier this year, Suzuki cut a promo ripped right out of badass 1970s cinema: "If you even think about standing up again, if you even try it, I'll break you again," he said, moments after putting him in a stretcher. He then, with a sadistic smile, crowed about and described in gleeful detail the agony Tanahashi must have endured.

Even if we can't understand his words, you need only look at the crowd reaction to gauge what a conductor this man is: they pop when he rips it out of them, and then pop again when he remonstrates with them for getting "carried away". Suzuki, whose wrestling work looks so awesomely believable and whose genuine MMA skills once tapped out Ken Shamrock, is a real contender for the most badass man to have ever lived.

With lines like "Shut up. Hopefully you go outside and get hit by a car," he's also in contention for funniest.
