Nagata's a good pick, carried the promotion during a dark time when everything was done to cut him at the knees.


The ballots from active wrestlers carried him in. He just barely crossed the threshold, and he was the #1 overall vote-getter from that group

Nagatas voting was unique. He made the Hall of Fame due to finishing first among current wrestlers, who voted him in almost unanimously. He was only 24th among reporters, 17th among historians, and didnt place among former wrestlers. Its a notable induction, because even though he had a long career as a top star, he was never really a legendary star. But he was so well respected as a worker, Bryan Danielson, in fact, called Nagata the best wrestler hes ever been in the ring with, that it put him just over the threshold, with 101 votes, the exact number needed to hit 60 percent from Japan.
