Mitsuharu Misawa was only 22 when he had his first Meltzer five-star match (one of the 25 youngest to do so) and 40 when he had his last to get that rating (14th oldest to do so) - even if his style wasn't your cup of tea, you can't deny he was consistently great from the beginning to the end

I'm not saying Meltzer's opinion is gospel because it's really not, it's just he's been consistently rating wrestling matches for over 45 years now, and his ratings are obviously the most talked about.

I'm not even the biggest fan of Misawa or AJPW style wrestling, but nobody can deny how good he was for such a long time - a true legend.

Please share any recommended Misawa matches or moments or gifs or whatever below.

For anyone interested in who else are the youngest and oldest people to be in a five-star match, I'll include the links below (no pressure to read them though)
