Aja Kong

[10.0] "The final boss of final bosses herself aja kong is one of the greatest wrestlers to ever lace up a pair of boots . One of the most dominant wrestlers in all of Wrestling with some of the greatest longevity that any career in wrestling has ever had . Even 39 years into her career, she still has amazing matches. Legendary matches with manami Toyota, yumiko hotta, meiko satomura, Akira hokuto , hikaru shida , senka Akatsuki and many more have been legendary. Very few people maintain this dominance this long in their career and aja Kong is the definition of a once in a life time talent . Aja Kong notably had 2× wwwa world championship reigns (914 total days ) , ×5 WWWA tag team championship(610 total days ) , ×3 aaaw championships( 664 total days ) , ×3 aaaw tag team championships ( 691 total days ) and many many more titles . Needless to say aja Kong is one of the most dominant champions in joshi wrestling history and in fact wrestling history as a whole . She's shined in every promotion she's been in whether it was ajw , gaea Japan, jwp, sendai girls , oz academy, tjpw, wwf, aew or any other promotion she's been in . Aja Kong is a true legend of Wrestling and may she dominant the world for many many more years ."

[10.0] "Aja was the best Joshi wrestler of her generation and that is saying something. To this day she is the standard bearer for monster heels in all of women's wrestling. If anyone ever says they dislike women's wrestling, just show them an Aja Kong match. I don't know what else can be said she's just incredible. I can't comment on her character work because I don't speak any Japanese but in ring she's on the Mount Rushmore of Joshi."

"Aja Kong is one of the most intimidating and influential wrestlers in women's wrestling history. From the moment she appears, she has a presence that very few performers can match. She built her reputation on being a terrifying powerhouse, but what makes her special is that she's never just been "the big wrestler", she's an incredibly smart worker who understands pacing, psychology, and how to make an audience believe every strike matters."

[10.0] "Odds are very high that Aja's matches are some of the coolest ever. Like, she's just fucking rad dude. Every match oozes such emotion via her presence alone. Larger than life and an amazing worker in-ring, not enough can be said about her, her legacy, any of it. She's one of the best women to ever do it, period."

[10.0] "I was first introduced to her during her appearance at aews first show, and obviously thats not the best match to introduce aja kong. I always knew she was a legend, but for some reason it took me seven years to watch my first prime aja kong match. Oh my god. Now she is one of my favorite female wrestlers ever."

[10.0] "I consider Aja to be the very best wrestler of all time. Firstly, in her prime this woman had no one close to her level - male or female, her wrestling skills were absolutely INCREDIBLE, she literally ran like a storm through AJW - the best WWWA World Champion for sure. Her longevity is also something crazy impressive, what do you mean this woman is still going today, having no longer breaks in wrestling for almost 40 years - some of the wrestling fans weren't even alive when Aja was in the business for 20 years already + she never got weaker in the ring, her style adapted to her age - she obviously slowed down but you can still consider Aja's 2026 match a good one. I'm not even gonna talk about all her ABSOLUTE classic matches against Toyota, Nakano, Hokuto, Kansai, Inoue and many many more - actually i can't name any bad match of her, when she was in the ring everyone could expect at very least 3 star match. Another argument is how she stayed relevant throughout all those years, some legends gets forgotten some feel less important but the Jungle Emperor is still considered as one of the most important joshi of all time. Her famous finisher - The Uraken is the best looking spinning backfist in the business + it's simple yet looks like death, especially when delivered by Kong herself. She also founded the ARSION promotion which during its time was another great joshi company on the map. I could write more obviously but at this point i think everyone know why she's one of the greatest wrestlers in this business - there wasn't and there will never be someone like Aja Kong."

[9.0] "One of the best to ever lace a pair of boots. Managed to get herself at the top of an already stacked AJW roster, and prolonged her career, with many great matches along the way"

[10.0] "Easily one of the best to ever lace up a pair of boots. From her insane peaks as one of the best wrestlers of one of the best and most influential periods in wrestling with AJW, to her continued inclusion in wrestling to this day - and still managing to find ways to give audiences exactly what they want 39 years into her career. She's a legend among legends, and deserves all the respect she's been given."

[9.0] "I discovered her recently but I already love her. Her character is incredible and her nonchalance suits her perfectly. And in the ring she is really very good."

[10.0] "One of the highest peaks of any wrestler ever, and she has insane longevity as well. If you're having a GOAT debate, it's nearly impossible to leave out the great Aja Kong."

[9.0] "Another all time great female wrestler. Although I'm not as big of a fan of hers as I am offended Toyota, i still enjoyed her work a lot."

[9.0] "I've only seen a bit of Aja Kong's prime in the 90s and early 2000s but just about enough to have an opinion. Kong was the perfect monster heel and stood out in that era of joshi wrestling for her extremely strong style and surprisingly high work rate for her size. Kong had some of the greatest women's matches ever and has a match catalogue that not many can match. Kong was surprisingly smooth with her moves and had a great piledriver. Her matches with Toyota and Kudo really stand out. She reminds me of Vader in All Japan, with her stiff as hell, monster heel status."

[10.0] "BEAST of a wrestler, and despite being a female, she could probably beat the twinks we have on the roster today in a shoot fight. What is there not to like about Aja Kong? She's never had a bad match, she's got the look of someone you'd wanna see, and she somehow has a style that blends between chaotic and methodical. I'd say she's the female Vader, but better (although Vader himself wasn't bad, he was also good)"

[9.0] "greatest japanese monster that western promotions would have died to have, yet their use of them was lacklustre but it was quickly made up by her japanese promotion history"

"I'm strongly convinced that Aja Kong is the greatest African wrestler of all time, on top of being the best woman to ever lace up a pair of boots. Her matches were incredibly violent no matter who she wass working, with the 2000 battle against KAORU on February 13th being an all time slug fest. She changed the way I look at women's wrestling, perhaps in a not so good way -- my expectations are incredibly high and there is no way that any easily accessible women's wrestling in America can touch what she was able to accomplish with her contemporaries during the 90's and early 2000's. She's the embodiment of an 11 out of 10 pro wrestler and one of the greatest of all time, bar none."

[10.0] "greatest joshi of all time, greatest monster heel of all time, aja is a spectacle. i'll never forget those fork spots in her cage match with bull."

[10.0] "Easily one of the greatest female wrestlers of all time. Absolute legend and her hard hitting and powerhouse style will perpetually be over."

[10.0] "A strong contender for the greatest Joshi wrestler of all time, Aja Kong is the real deal. Everything she does in the ring looks like it hurts like hell, and she knows it. Kong always has an aura of danger in her matches, like she's always one moment away from sending her opponent to intensive care. She is also a phenomenal seller, especially in her amazing match against KAORU from Gaia Japan in 2000. Her screams after she gets her arm cut with a piece of table are chilling. Also, she comes out to the best Judas Priest song, so that definitely helps."

[7.0] "Absolute legend, but Aja Kong hasn't been able to move well for a while now, and it's starting to hurt the legacy for me. At the absolute highest, I'd rate her an 8. "Why not 10? " Look... I am not very squeamish. I grew up the kid of a firefighter, so I saw some real world horrors even as a child. But my god... When the finish is "I'm gonna shoot backfist you AS HARD AS I CAN AND BREAK HALF THE BONES AROUND YOUR EYE", as a blonde mustachioed hot dog once said: "That doesn't work for me, brother." I get it. I do. And I like strong-style wrestling. KENTA, Murder Grandpa, Kana, Bull Nakano, Manami Toyota... I really do get it, y'all. But if I wanted to see stuff like this, I'd watch MMA. I also am not a fan of her selling either. Arm is bloody, screaming bloody murder at the top of her lungs which is taking me out of the match... Oh look, backfist. Scream scream scream... Armbar. Scream some more, followed by another backfist. Again, an absolute legend and Japanese staple who changed the game. Just not for me."

[10.0] "Women's wrestling goat. There's no one in wrestling history, male of female that delivers better better beatdowns than Aja. An absolute dominant monster in everything she did, never holding back on strikes or power moves. She's also an excellent seller, a very necessary component in the best david vs goliath matches. She was also good for very long... she's cooked now of course, but that doesnt negate her work in the past."

[10.0] "The ultimate monster heel and one of the greatest of all time. There is no understating how much of a legend this woman is and how important she is to Japanese womens wrestling"

[10.0] "Current day Aja Kong is nearly unwatchable due to her deterioration. That is where my criticism of Aja ends. Aja was a top tier performer for at least two, possibly three decades, a run that is nearly impossible to beat. There are so many good matches from her tenures in AJW, Arsion, GAEA, and freelancing up until the last few years that practically anything involving Aja is bound to be at least watchable, if not entertaining. If she is coasting through the twilight of her career and getting nostalgia bookings, then more power to her! She should make millions of dollars for the work she put in throughout her career. She certainly deserves it."

[6.0] "Saw a few of her matches back in 1995-1996 and she was like the female Vader. Basically murdering girls with power moves and she was good at it."

[10.0] "A legendary, important figure in the world of Joshi. Her offense is believable, devastating, and incredibly fun to watch. She's what every big woman wrestler should aspire to."

[10.0] "Aja Kong is one of the most important women in wrestling and so many of the greats follow directly in her footsteps."

[10.0] "Easily one of the greatest monsters in wrestling, regardless of gender. In the world of 90's AJW, where workrate and fast paced bouts were the accepted norm, Kong was the critical outlier in that lot: a bullish, aggressive brawler that brought the old chaotic style of the days of Crush Gals and modernised it into a more ruthless standard. I don't think we've seen a wrestler look so legitimate in beating the snot out of her opponents, just brutalising them with stiff strikes and the BEST backhand in wrestling history. I could go into her many bloody feuds with babyfaces not only in the 90's, but all the way up to even 2020 today but there would legitimately be too much to cover. Either in tags or in singles, heels or faces, straight wrestling or hardcore, Kong brought the standard of these matches above and beyond with her antics, squeezing every last bit of intensity out of her opponents while knowing exactly when to sell and be the one dominated in turn. If you love old man Tenryu beating the shit out of the next generation of talent, you'll also love her doing the same. One of the best in the world in her prime and still a force today regardless of age."

[10.0] "Aja Kong is a legend not just to Joshi but to pro wrestling in general. Wrestled in so many eras but I love her work with Bull Nakano the most. All time great"

[10.0] "I don't know if I need to explain why Aja Kong is a 10. She is to Joshi wrestling as Michael Jordan is to basketball."

[10.0] "Even at her age and limited mobility she still is one of the top wrestlers, it's honestly incredible. She is a legend, no doubt."

[10.0] "Neck-and-neck with Manami Toyota as the best women's wrestler of all time and likely one of the top 10 regardless of gender. Up there with Vader as the definitive monster heel, an absolute terror in the ring but also incredibly generous to her opponents and one of the best sellers in the business. I don't think she gets the credit she deserves as a true ring general, as amazing at leading in-ring storytelling in both singles and tag matches as she is a lumbering brawler. How she's still going and still putting on quality matches, including ****+ affairs with the likes of Meiko Satomura, is beyond me when you see the punishment she put herself through in the '90s."

[10.0] "One of the best big men/women of all time. Really terrifying and legit wrestler, always can played the role of the monster excellent but also can sold the well. She? s also very athletic for her size. Truly a legend."

[10.0] "My favorite Joshi wrestler. No one can stop the Kong! She is merciless to her opponents. Many pile drivers. And cool face paint, which Jerry Lawler once said "looks like a bowling shoe"."

[8.0] "Aja Kong plays the monster woman role well. Her match against Shida where Kong got her nose busted & still continued to go was especially impressive."

[10.0] "One of the stalwarts of All Japan Women, Aja Kong was a fantastic heel and a tremendous brawler. Aja had an aura about her that few heels, male or female, possessed."

[10.0] "Aja Kong is probably one of the best monster heels of all time. Unlike most of her AJW brethern, she still performs at a pretty high level."

[9.0] "Definitely a beast in the ring and one of the best women and best heels I have ever seen, not just in Japan but anywhere. Not afraid to take on the dudes either who would be making a mistake if they take her lightly. I was also amazed at the number of titles she has won (27) but not surprised. Heard she had a brief run in WWE that was not all that impressive but would like to see her get another chance in the U. S. either with WWE or in TNA."

[10.0] "Perhaps the best female wrestler ever, Aja Kong is truly something else. Her incredible offense and amazing toughness are absolutely remarkable."

[10.0] "Aja Kong is one of my personal favorites. Her outstanding look and her tremendous work mark her as one of the best of all time. Her iconic theme song represents most of what she's appreciated for."

[10.0] "Perfect, Sort of a hero of mine, as weird as that sounds. She was the MONSTER that Joshi needed also she did break some sort of ground as being a Black/Japanese wrestler to be a star in Japan"

[10.0] "Simply the absolute best at what she does, joshi legend."
