#4 Manami Toyota – 17 five-star matches
In the WWE, women wrestlers have only recently gained prominence after the Women's Revolution came to the fore. But, out east in Japan, women have been given the same opportunities as men for decades. The greatest example of that is Manami Toyota.
Debuting at the age of 16 in 1987, Toyota is still wrestling to this day and has announced her intention to retire towards the end of the year – a full thirty years after her first match with All Japan Women's Pro Wrestling.
She has been credited with 17 five-star matches over the course of her career. An obscene number for even the greatest of wrestlers, it firmly establishes Manami as one of the finest wrestlers to have ever lived and the single most major female competitor in professional wrestling.
