10 Most Dangerous Wrestlers Under Six Feet Tall

2. Aja Kong

Joe Coffey Vs Minoru Suzuki True Legacy

A 30-year pro, Aja Kong built her reputation as one of the toughest females in the history of the industry with a scintillating maiden All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling run following her graduation from the group's terrifying dojo.

An enormous presence in the celebrated organisation's greatest ever production in November 1994, Kong wrestled three times on Big Egg Wrestling Universe - a 10 hour 23 match card that drew over 32,500 fans to the illustrious Tokyo Dome. Her loss in the V*TOP Five Star Tournament that evening wasn't without merit - defeat against Akiria Hokuto in the card's main event capped off an incredible night that saw her battle past Dynamite Kansai in the semi-final and steal the entire show in a gripping contest against Japanese women's wrestling benchmark Manami Toyota.

Notoriety from the event caught the attention of WWE in 1995 shortly before Alundra Blayze threw their Women's Title in a trashcan and sent Vince McMahon's interest in the division in the same direction. Kong would continue on as normal in Japan, but not without entering in a few terrifying performances on Monday Night Raw and November's Survivor Series en route to the intended Blayze Championship match destined never to occur.
