Akira Hokuto Listed On WWE.com's 10 Greatest Wrestlers To Never Wrestle In WWE

http://www.wwe.com/classics/classic-lists/10-greatest-never-in-wwe/page-3

Widely considered one of the greatest female grapplers to ever trade in a pair of heels for wrestling boots, Akira Hokuto is a true legend in Japan. Debuting in the ring when she was only 17 years old, Hokuto earned a series of accolades from All Japan Wrestling. From the mid-1980s through the late ’90s, The Dangerous Queen dominated the women’s wrestling scene by employing innovative maneuvers including the Northern Lights Bomb and Dangerous Queen Bomb, named after herself.

After leaving The Far East, Hokuto competed in Mexico’s CMLL and eventually in WCW. At Starrcade 1996, she defeated Madusa to win the WCW Women’s Championship and forced her rival to retire by defeating Madusa again at Great American Bash 1997. If she had ever found her way to WWE, Hokuto would have been a worthy adversary of female competitors like Jacqueline, Trish Stratus or Molly Holly.

Not a bad choice but I remember Sonny Ono too

The Akira Hokuto/Madusa program from the 90's is one of the reasons I started watching women's wrestling. She was amazing. A great flyer. A great brawler. A super sound technician. She could do it all. For anyone who is a fan of women's wrestling, she is someone that you need to look up.

Exactly.

Their program was amazing in WCW. I'm really surprised Madusa didn't win the belt off of her in one of their PPV title matches. I was a shame but still the matches were all very good.

I'd have loved if she was in the WWF/E but even not being so she had a legendary career.
