  1. Mexico


  2. I'm going with Japan.  For the simple reason that I worship at the alter that is lucharesu--the perfect blend of Japanese & Mexican wrestling.  I bow down to the demi-gods that are Great Sasuke, TAKA Michinoku, Ultimo Dragon, Jushin Lyger, Hayabusa.  Its the perfect style for smaller wrestlers because it combines all the elements that make Lucha Libre great that being the high flying acrobatic spots + tag team signature moves + submissions along with all the is great about puroresu that is the fighting spirit + near falls + intense strikes.   By combining the lucha mask mythical story with the honor, loyalty, aspects of japanese culture you have the perfect foundation for character development.  Japan took a good concept in lucha libre and made it better in federations like Michinoku Pro Wrestling, Toryumon, Dragongate, DDT, etc.

  3. i am guessing Japan

  4. Both have made their mark in the industry, but I will have to say its a tie.

    Mexico had a big impact. When you think of Rey Mysterio and how big of an impact Lucha Libre had.

    But Japan has also produced many, many phenomenal wrestlers. Ultimo Dragon, Mitsuharu Misawa, Kenta Kobashi and Hayabusa are some of the greats from the past. Some present stars are BxB Hulk, Masato Yoshino, Kota Ibushi, KENTA, Naomichi Marufuji, Takeshi Morishima, Dragon Kid, Shingo Takagi, Naruki Doi, and Taiji Ishimori to name a few.
