Morishimas peak was short but he was about as good of a big bruiser as I've seen. His ROH title run was the coolest shit when I was in my teens.
Also obviously shoutouts to Vader as far as big men. Shuji Ishikawa is another one I love seeing just bully dudes.
But also yes, Mike Awesome an all timer for sure. I'm surprised no one ever died in one of his matches between the insane powerbombs and Mike doing nutty dives. Mike Awesome vs Spike Dudley is the weirdest but sickest PPV main event ever

I remember Mike Awesome wresting Samoa Joe in the original incarnation of MLW and being super excited to watch it and the crowd was silent the whole time and it was just kinda flat. That would have been something that couldβve been great a few years later because Awesome was still alive during Joes peak ROH years

Awesome is the blueprint that every big man today rips off. There isn't a single "flying big man" today that matches up to him they all look like copycat fakes compared to Awesome One

Fat Morishima was TERRIFYING. He just looked like a confused animal who wanted to kill you. His matches with Dragon and KENTA were insane.

The match where he wins the ROH title, he's just demolishing Homicide and stating blankly at Julius Smokes who is yelling at him. Just an absolute animal. The Danielson story of telling Morishima to hit him like he hits the Japanese guys then getting a broken orbital bone in the first few minutes.

if your favorite big man isnβt mike awesome, youβve got questionable taste at best My true favorite is Vader. I actually got to work with him at a show bc my band was called Vaderbomb and they booked us to be the corner men for his opponent. We didnβt even play music and no one knew who we were it ruled

Morishimaβs title run was so fucking boring. Gabe should have kept the title on Homicide longer to have a bigger payoff.

I remember this random match on a NOAH Budokan show where Moishima was tagging against Genichiro Tenryu. Morishima comes out to Jumbo Tsuruta's entrance music and Tenryus got this face like he's about to murder the guy. He proceeds to beat the shit out of Morishima. That shit ruled.

Just realized yesterday was the 25th anniversary of Owen Hearts death. I remember being so upset as kid because he was my favorite wrestler.
