10 Best Pure Strikers In Wrestling Today
6. Asuka
Before starting this entry, it's important to note that Asuka is not what she once was as a performer. Her time on top of the NXT roster as the most dominant figure in the brand's history seems like a distant memory now, but one thing she still has going for her is painful looking strikes.
Ever since her early days as Kana on the joshi scene, she's been impressing audiences with her quick striking ability, particularly with her kicks. Seeing her drop someone to their knees and take a kick pad to their chest/face is a signature of all her matches, and it's still one of her most deadly offensive tricks.
She works her strikes into her move set with precision and expertise, making her often seem in control even if she's not particularly dominant in the match. It only takes a hit or two here and there to make her seem like a formidable opponent, which is a skill not many of her peers share.
Although her character has shifted drastically from a dangerous striker to a goofy personality, she still retains the ability to bust out some dangerous strikes, and that much cannot be denied.
