Bull Nakano's career began in AJW, where she held the AJW, WWWA Tag Team, and AJW Junior Championships before she turned 20 years old, with her reign as AJW Champion being the longest in history. Nakano held the All Pacific Championship in 1989, and then went on to win the WWWA World Championship in January 1990, beginning a reign that became the longest in the WWWA World Championship's history. Not even ten years into her career at that point, Nakano had already cemented her status as a remarkable member of the industry. But Nakano's championship success was just beginning.
In 1992, Bull Nakano began wrestling in Mexico, where she became the first CMLL World Women's Champion in CMLL's history.
In 1994, Bull Nakano returned to WWE (she had wrestled for them previously in 1986), and after being with the company for only six months, Nakano won the WWE (WWF) Women's Championship, becoming the first Japanese woman wrestler to hold a WWE singles championship. The match occurred in November 1994 at AJW Doumu Super Woman Great War - Big Egg Wrestling Universe, with her opponent being Alundra Blayze.
Bull Nakano was known for her innovative in-ring style, which was a blend of power moves and surprising agility, making her a dominant wrestler wherever she competed. Another aspect that made Nakano stand out was that she was unique. It's often said that the easiest path to success is to model yourself after those who are already successful. Instead of doing that, Nakano looked and acted differently from everyone else. She was her own person, which put Nakano on a more fruitful path.
Add Bull Nakano's charisma and intensity that she displayed during matches, and Nakano had all of the makings of an icon of women's wrestling. Being a member of the WWE Hall of Fame is not just recognition of a wrestler's accomplishments, but also the impact that they have had on the industry. Bull Nakano inspired a generation of female wrestlers and helped elevate the perception of women's wrestling on a global scale. Her forthcoming induction is well-earned.
Today, while celebrating her past achievements, Bull Nakano also has her eyes set on the future, with the potential to once again elevate the perception of women's wrestling. Bull Nakano is now the Commissioner of Sukeban, a new Japanese wrestling league that is based in the United States, with Sukeban events being hosted in New York and Florida last year. The industry and fans alike are eager to see how her experience and leadership will shape this exciting venture. Nakano's legacy precedes her, and as Sukeban Commissioner, Nakano takes on the role of a pillar of the league, leveraging her experience to shape Sukeban's future.
Bull Nakano's induction into the WWE Hall of Fame is a testament to her incredible career. And her ever-evolving story continues, as Bull Nakano's influence on the world of wrestling is far from over.
