What the WWF did when they brought over All Japan-Women's legend Bull Nakano to wrestle Alundra Blayze was ultimately introduce North American women's wrestling to the idea of the Anti-Diva long before Paige (whose "PTO" finish is literally the same hold being put on Alundra Blayze above) was a thought to be a WWE performer. What WWE had with Bull Nakano they've tried to replicate with the likes of Bertha Faye, Kharma and now, Nia Jax. However, when they made Bull Nakano, they broke the mold. Though not a long-term WWE employee, Bull being in WWE's rings set a new and yet-to-be consistently matched standard overall in the company.
