Exceptional chemistry with literally every/anyone through 3 straight decades. Remarkably versatile bell to bell worker. His grasp on pacing and body language is *chefs kiss*. High bar stuff. Reading the comments, i see he was an inventor/innovator/entire style creator? i'd believe that. 9.75 |

| 24 | 18.02.2026 | Shoot Style Vampire | 10.0 | Jumbo Tsuruta was preternaturally good at professional wrestling and had an almost precognitive ability to change up his style at the right time in the right ways. The man was constantly five years ahead of the curve as far as style and workrate went; and considering that his career was from the '70s to the early '90s, that's a huge sea change to have to navigate. He was a consistently outstanding performer as well. If Jumbo Tsuruta was in the bout, it was going to be a good match. Gone way too soon. |

| 26 | 06.01.2026 | vertebreaker94 | 10.0 | The perfect professional wrestler--great from literally the first day he started and continued to be great up until illness cut his career short. Would somehow be even more legendary if he stayed healthy into the 90s with the great new generation AJPW had. |
| 27 | 01.01.2026 | JunTogawaFan | 9.0 | Greatly missed. He was a tad bit lower than the 4 Pillars, but he was a presence by himself. Amazing wrestler, must watch matches for sure, a cornerstone of 80s and early 90s puroresu |
| 28 | 24.12.2025 | screwokada | 10.0 | For me the most incredible thing about Tsuruta has always been his connection to the crowd, how he could truly brutalize his opponents and then make one motion or gesture and have the crowd totally behind him again. His matches against Misawa and Tenryu are some of the best of all time. |

| 31 | 10.10.2025 | Walker46527 | 10.0 | The original Ace. His influence cannot be compared to anyone in the modern landscape of Japanese wrestling. To what Flair was to American wrestling, Jumbo was arguably not only a bigger act but an even greater influence on the generations that followed. He is the godfather of a wrestling style that has left its mark on the business worldwide, but beyond that, he was a master of the psychology that defined it. In the discussion of the greatest storytellers of his era (outside of Flair), there will never be another Jumbo Tsuruta because to be that one must give their entire being to the sport. |

| 36 | 10.06.2025 | Ron E | 10.0 | Jumbo Tsuruta is the definition of a wrestling legend. Trained by the likes of Giant Baba and Terry Funk you can see why Jumbo made it as far as he did. Jumbo brought many qualities to the ring, size and power was a must at a whopping 6ft 4 but the fluidity in the the ring will have you in awe. Moves such as his jumping knee from the top rope and his heavy backdrop driver prove this. In my opinion Jumbo has the best and most clean looking powerslam in the business, he was one of the best workers in the world throughout the 80's and 90's and was truly instrumental to building the rise of the 4 Pillars. His matches with the likes of Tenryu in the 80s and Misawa in the early 90s are some of the best matches of all time. |

| 58 | 08.01.2025 | Zak22 | 10.0 | I just want to take a moment and explain why I love Jumbo Tsuruta and why I think he is a top 15 all time talent. Jumbo went from being a fantastic, technically skilled rookie wrestler in the 70s to being the power house, brawling ace of All Japan in the mid to late 80s and early 1990, bowing out from the main event picture by putting over the Four Pillars of Heaven and having the best passing of the torch match in wrestling (1990 vs Misawa). Tsuruta had great matches with Tenryu, with Misawa, with Bockwinkel (even capturing the AWA world title) and with Ric Flair, plus some great tag matches. Tsuruta was intensity and brutality in human form. For a solid decade (maybe more), Jumbo was a top 10 wrestler in the world. Tsuruta is the best possible wrestler that Giant Baba could have possibly picked to be the ace of All Japan. Jumbo optimised greatness in the 80s. And he was the first Triple Crown Champion. |

| 69 | 26.09.2024 | Wrest lingaddiction | 10.0 | One of the best in-ring workers of not just his era but all time. With a plethora of high-level matches and opponents, he's without a doubt a ring general. His matches with the Four Pillars, Nick Bockwinkel, and pretty much any other name in wrestling from the mid to late 70s through to the 90s were phenomenal and a true testament to his training from other legends such as Giant Baba, the Funks, and Lou Thez. Jumbo epitomised AJPW and Japanese wrestling for his era and without him, the history of wrestling would suffer drastically. |

| 83 | 01.02.2024 | BostonIdol | 10.0 | Jumbo Tsuruta was arguably one of the top five pro wrestlers in the world from the mid-seventies until the early nineties, having a string of classic matches against several generations of wrestlers. Tsuruta was a legit athlete prior to joining All Japan in the early seventies. Jumbo brought size, strength, agility, and a fluidity of movement to the ring while learning from the best workers of the era including the Funks, the Destroyer, Harley Race, and Billy Robinson. Jumbo went on to become one of the top performers of his own generation which included workers like Ric Flair, Ricky Steamboat, and Stan Hansen. Jumbo continued to have world class matches against the next generation of main eventers including Misawa, Kawada, and Kobashi. Until he was knocked out by hepatitis in late 1992, Jumbo was consistently one of the ten best workers in the world. Someone looking for highlights could start with Jumbo vs Terry Funk for the NWA title in 1976. There the still young Jumbo matches veteran champ and former tutor Funk hold for hold in arguably the best match of Terry's career on tape. The following year Jumbo had a memorable series with Billy Robinson along with classics against Harley Race and Mil Mascaras. Fast forwarding to the mid-eighties, Jumbo had classic world title matches with Ric Flair, Kerry Von Erich, and Rick Martel. From 1987-1990, Jumbo worked a series of memorable matches against Genichiro Tenryu that were the highlight of Tenryu's working career. In the nineties Jumbo put over a new generation of Japanese main eventers. He was pinned by Misawa in 1990, but he also made Kawada and Kobashi by making them look like credible threats even while defeating them. Jumbo also had a number of great tag matches, notably the feud where he and Tenryu teamed up against Riki Choshu and Yoshiaki Yatsu from 1985-1987 which yielded several of the best tag matches of the decade. Jumbo's moveset changed and expanded with the times. He was known for the lariat, the jumping knee, and the backdrop suplex, but like Harley Race, Jumbo always had more than a dozen big spots he could draw from to fill any match. He was also willing to give his opponents plenty of opportunities to look good, bumping for and selling their spots. In March 1986, Jumbo had a match with Animal Hamaguchi that was the finest exhibition of Hamaguchi's career. Animal wasn't Jumbo's peer at the time, being a lesser member of Ishin Gundan, but Jumbo made him look like a main eventer. The one match where Jumbo was less than generous was his one hour draw with Riki Choshu from late-1985, where he never made it look like Choshu could actually beat him. One assumes Baba booked the match in that fashion as he didn't fully trust Choshu enough to elevate him as Jumbo's peer, instead feeding him Tenryu, Jumbo's junior partner. It's a shame because it was their only singles match and left to his own devices, Jumbo probably would have carried Choshu to the greatest match of his career, as he did with so many others. In terms of rating, Jumbo was arguably a 10 by 1976 when he was turning out match of the year candidates with multiple opponents and he maintained that quality level through 1992, though by the early nineties All Japan had become more insular and Jumbo's role had become more limited as the franchise champion without many peers. |

The perfect ace, the perfect rival, the perfect wrestler, and perfect coach and father until the end. Godspeed Jumbo, your mission was perfectly executed. |
