Stan “The Lariat” Hansen is one of wrestling’s most feared and celebrated gaijin brawlers, a Texas cowboy who broke out in the 1970s feuding with Bruno Sammartino in the WWWF and built a global reputation for his brutal, neck‑snapping lariat. After working NWA territories and short runs in AWA and WCW—where he held the AWA World Heavyweight Title and the NWA/WCW United States Championship—his true legacy was cemented in All Japan Pro Wrestling, becoming Giant Baba’s top foreign star, a four‑time Triple Crown Heavyweight Champion, multi‑time World Tag Team Champion, and a perennial threat in the Champion Carnival and World’s Strongest Tag League. His wild entrances, chewing tobacco, and stiff, chaotic style produced classic wars with Jumbo Tsuruta, Genichiro Tenryu, Mitsuharu Misawa, Toshiaki Kawada, Vader, and more, and after nearly three decades in the ring he retired around 2000, later serving as PWF commissioner and entering the WWE Hall of Fame in 2016.

Jerry Jarrett was an American professional wrestler, promoter, and booker whose greatest legacy was helping turn Memphis wrestling into one of the sport’s most influential territories. Born in Nashville, Tennessee, on September 4, 1942, he began selling wrestling programs at age seven and was helping promote local events by his teenage years. After working as a referee, he trained under Tojo Yamamoto and Sailor Moran and made his wrestling debut in 1965. Jarrett became a successful tag-team competitor in NWA Mid-America, winning numerous regional championships with partners including Yamamoto. His most significant contributions came behind the scenes, where he developed a reputation for creative matchmaking and compelling storylines. In 1977, he broke away from promoter Nick Gulas and founded the Continental Wrestling Association, establishing the foundation of his Memphis-based promotion. Working closely with Jerry Lawler, Jarrett built a thriving wrestling territory around Saturday-morning television broadcasts and regular Monday-night events at the Mid-South Coliseum. His booking combined colorful personalities, emotional rivalries, surprising twists, and intense brawling, making weekly television an attraction in its own right. Jarrett helped advance the early careers of performers such as Hulk Hogan, Sting, and the Ultimate Warrior, while also creating the Fabulous Ones and helping popularize the Rock ’n’ Roll Express through music videos. In 1989, he merged the CWA with the Dallas-based World Class Championship Wrestling operation to form the United States Wrestling Association. His promotional experience also led to consulting work with both the World Wrestling Federation and World Championship Wrestling. In 2002, he and his son Jeff Jarrett co-founded NWA: Total Nonstop Action, giving him another major role in establishing a wrestling company before he departed its management in 2005. Jarrett was inducted into the NWA Hall of Fame in 2009 and died on February 14, 2023, at age 80, leaving a lasting influence on wrestling promotion, talent development, and television storytelling. by @randomwrestlecontent

Billy Two Rivers was a Mohawk professional wrestler from Kahnawà:ke, Quebec, who built an international career spanning more than two decades. He trained under fellow Kahnawà:ke wrestler Don Eagle, who became his mentor and prepared him for the professional ring. After two years of training, Two Rivers made his debut in Detroit in February 1953 as a junior heavyweight. He gained experience throughout the American wrestling territories and formed a tag team with Don Eagle during the 1950s. On April 6, 1959, he and George Becker captured the Mid-Atlantic version of the NWA Southern Tag Team Championship by defeating Alberto and Enrique Torres. Later that year, he arrived in Britain and quickly attracted attention, defeating Gwyn Davies at London’s Royal Albert Hall and making television appearances soon afterward. His distinctive Mohawk hairstyle and feathered headdress helped make him one of the most recognizable personalities on the British wrestling scene. He spent six years based in England, while his wider travels took him to wrestling audiences across Europe and North Africa. In 1966, he also wrestled in Japan, further extending a career that had already carried him across Canada and the United States.

Kai Fujimura is a Japanese professional wrestler from Fukuoka who has built his career in Pro Wrestling NOAH’s junior heavyweight division. He entered WRESTLE-1’s “Golden Rookie Project” in 2018 and began his in-ring career in July 2019. An early left-arm injury interrupted his development, but he returned to competition and earned a place in CRUISER FES 2020. After his time in WRESTLE-1, Fujimura debuted for NOAH on November 28, 2020, facing established junior heavyweight Atsushi Kotoge. He earned his first NOAH victory the following month by defeating Yasutaka Yano at Takashi Sugiura’s 20th-anniversary event. During his early years in the promotion, he gained experience through singles and tag-team matches alongside wrestlers such as Kotoge, Kinya Okada, and Yoshiki Inamura. He also teamed with his real-life brother, Alejandro, giving his rise through NOAH’s ranks a personal connection. In 2022, Fujimura expanded his experience by competing at CyberFight Festival and the joint NOAH–Dragon Gate Global Dream event. Another injury sidelined him for approximately six months after December 2022, before he returned to action in June 2023. His career took a significant step forward in 2024 when he joined ALL REBELLION, developing a more distinctive identity built around tenacity and aggressive speed. In April 2025, he challenged Eita for the GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship, marking his first opportunity to capture the division’s top singles title. Later that year, he reached the final of the NOAH Jr. GRAND-PRIX, finishing as runner-up after facing New Japan Pro-Wrestling’s Hiromu Takahashi. In January 2026, Fujimura dramatically changed direction by betraying Alejandro and joining the villainous TEAM 2000X. On August 10, 2026, he captured the GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship by defeating Eita at NOAH’s Legacy Rise event, marking a major breakthrough in his career. He subsequently defended the championship against Alejandro on September 23, bringing their personal rivalry into the title picture. by @randomwrestlecontent

Jim Powers, born James Manley, began his professional wrestling career in 1984 after Big John Studd helped train him and brought him into the World Wrestling Federation. He initially worked as an undercard wrestler, gaining experience against established WWF stars before spending time in Texas All-Star Wrestling and World Class Championship Wrestling in 1985. His biggest breakthrough came in 1987 when he teamed with Paul Roma to form the Young Stallions, an energetic babyface duo. The team gained attention through matches against the Hart Foundation, including an upset disqualification victory over the reigning WWF Tag Team Champions. At the inaugural Survivor Series in November 1987, the Young Stallions joined the Killer Bees as the surviving teams in the event’s tag-team elimination match. Despite that promising exposure, Powers and Roma never captured the WWF Tag Team Championship, and their partnership ended in 1989. Powers then returned primarily to singles competition, facing stars such as Mr. Perfect, Ted DiBiase, and The Undertaker while also picking up occasional victories against other undercard wrestlers. After leaving the WWF in 1994, he competed in the American Wrestling Federation and unsuccessfully challenged Shane Douglas for the ECW World Heavyweight Championship. He also achieved championship success outside the major promotions, defeating Jeff Jarrett for Pennsylvania Championship Wrestling’s Americas Championship in July 1995. Powers joined World Championship Wrestling in 1996, where Teddy Long managed him for part of his run and he occasionally teamed with Bobby Walker. A neck injury brought his WCW career to an end in 1998 and kept him away from active competition for several years. He returned to the independent circuit in 2007, later won the NWA New Jersey Tag Team Championship with Danny Inferno, and retired in 2010, concluding a career best remembered for his Young Stallions partnership and lengthy presence on WWF and WCW programming. by @randomwrestlecontent

Alan Angels, born Trey Tucker on February 16, 1998, in Snellville, Georgia, is an American professional wrestler known for his work in AEW, Impact Wrestling/TNA, and the independent circuit. He trained under AR Fox at World Wrestling Alliance 4 and began his in-ring career in 2016. During his early independent years, he captured championships in Georgia promotions, including the Southern Honor Wrestling Championship and Southern Fried Championship Wrestling’s Classic Championship. Angels made his AEW debut on the April 8, 2020, episode of Dynamite, facing Lance Archer in a losing effort. Later that month, he wrestled Kenny Omega in a match that helped bring greater attention to the young performer. In June 2020, he joined the Dark Order as its masked member known as “5,” becoming part of the faction led by Brodie Lee. His time with the group gave him regular opportunities on AEW programming, and he eventually removed his mask and continued competing with his face uncovered. Angels left AEW in June 2022 when his contract expired, ending his initial run with the company. Later that year, he joined Impact Wrestling and became a member of Violent by Design alongside Eric Young, Deaner, and Kon. Following Young’s storyline departure, the faction became the Design, and Angels competed under the shortened name “Angels.” He broke away from the group in July 2023 and returned to using his full ring name as a singles competitor. At Impact 1000, he won an Ultimate X match to earn an X Division Championship opportunity, although he subsequently lost his title challenge against Chris Sabin. Outside the major promotions, his accomplishments include two reigns as Prestige Champion and a reign as Garden State Pro Wrestling Openweight Champion. His later career has also included appearances in Ring of Honor and Major League Wrestling, where his combination of technical wrestling, strikes, and aerial offense has remained central to his presentation. by @randomwrestlecontent

At SummerSlam 1989, Lister teamed with “Macho Man” Randy Savage against Hogan and Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake, with Hogan and Beefcake winning the main event. He also competed at Survivor Series that year as part of Ted DiBiase’s Million Dollar Team, where his relentless attack on Hogan resulted in a disqualification. His brief WWF wrestling run concluded with another defeat alongside Savage against Hogan and Beefcake in a steel cage match in December 1989. Away from wrestling, Lister achieved one of his most recognizable roles as the neighborhood bully Deebo in Friday in 1995, later returning for its 2000 sequel, Next Friday. He briefly resumed his rivalry with Hogan in World Championship Wrestling in 1996 as Z-Gangsta, participating in the multi-man cage match at Uncensored. His acting career also included playing President Lindberg in The Fifth Element and appearances in films such as Little Nicky and Austin Powers in Goldmember. Lister continued acting throughout the remainder of his life before his death on December 10, 2020, at age 62, leaving behind an extensive screen career and a distinctive place in wrestling history. by @randomwrestlecontent
