Minoru Tanaka is great but puro purists dislike him because he's basically working in the Lucha idiom. It's a legitmate gripe since he's not in Mexico, but it makes for good matches if you're not crabby about these things. -Dan
Yep. I tend to not worry about it -- I like the lucharesu style, and I like AJPW strong style, too. I think Japanese wrestling would be a lesser thing if it wasn't so open to outside influences. Stagnant styles are dull.
