10 Best Pure Strikers In Wrestling Today
4. Tomohiro Ishii
As you can tell from the last entry, New Japan is hardly a place where wrestlers are expected to pull their punches, and even in that painful world, Ishii still stands far taller than his frame. He's had a career that's spanned decades, and he's littered the way with cracked skulls, blotchy chests and surely a concussion or two.
The man known as the Stone Pitbull is the epitome of the phrase immovable object. When he slaps you across the chest with an open palm, you know that the entire world is going to hear it, as he never holds back, and his stocky figure makes all of them come across as harsh and brutal.
What makes his striking even better is his ability to no-sell the attacks that are performed on him. It's not hard to sell the idea that you're one hell of a pure striker when your hits cause opponents to fall backwards in pain, yet theirs barely even make you budge an inch.
Ishii is a terrifying man, and seeing what he does to his opponents is evidence of that.
