King of Comedy
Comedy isn't easy, especially in wrestling where every moment gets underlined by a layer of cheesiness. In WWE it doesn't help that Vince McMahon has no understanding of how humor works. In New Japan, it has become a much simpler game thanks to just one individual.
Toru Yano is a comedic genius, he knows when to pull back and be serious and went to utilize his funny chops to rile up or entertain the fans. Yet the most important element of Yano's arsenal is the how of its use.
In the G1 Climax, a character like Yano provides the perfect pause in a grueling tournament. On a general basis, his partnership with Tomohiro Ishii creates the perfect blend, as he plays the funny man to the often straight-faced stone cold pitbull Ishii. Either which way Yano is the best guy to make an event fun for viewers and wrestlers. He lets the tempo run smoothly and he doesn't get enough love for it.
