I think it was me who nominated him. I mainly just wanted a comment from our resident WoS expert OJ.

 

I saw one match where I thought his character work stood out, even if he wasn't the greatest worker. Kendo Nagasaki is one guy -- other than Big Daddy, Giant Haystacks etc. -- that your average non-wrestling British person over a certain age might know. A bit like how those younger than a certain age might know the Undertaker.

I think Nagasaki's a decent worker both on the mat and as a brawler. His matches in the 70s got a tremendous amount of heat and he had an awesome finisher. But there's guys who haven''t been nominated whom I think are better.

With the likes of Breaks, Cortez, Grey, Jones I could reel off a handful of matches that I would recommend should people want to get into WOS and give these guys a look. Whilst not as extensive, I could do it to a lesser degree with Saint, Haward, Sarjeant and Boscik. I wouldn't know where to start with Nagasaki and can't recall one match I've thought was good.

I liked his mid-to-late 70s stuff that was on TWC. Both of his bouts against Pete Roberts are good.
