Keiko Nakano, better known by her stage name, Bull Nakano, is one of the more technical wrestlers to make this list. Despite weighing approximately 200lbs, there wasn't anything she couldn't do in the ring. She was ruthless, brutal, and majority of the time a heel character despite being highly-popularized for her skill level. From Somersault Leg Drops to Moonsaults to her signature finishers like the Bull's Angelito and the Bull's Poseidon, Nakano was one intimidating wrestler despite her gender.
Nakano's pro-wrestling career began at the tender age of just 15-years-old in the AJW in 1983. She eventually found her way to the states where she signed contracts with the WWF and Mexico's Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) where she became the league's first-ever World Women's Champion. Throughout her illustrious career, Bull Nakano has racked up the WWWA World Single Championship (1x), WWWA World Tag Team Championship (3x), CMLL World Women's Championship (1x) and the WWF Women's Championship (1x). She's also a 1998 inductee to the AJW Hall of Fame. These days, Nakano is a professional golfer in the LPGA.
