Place in History - Bull Nakano is amongst the best heels joshi puroresu has ever seen. Possessing a strong know-how for how to make an exciting match, Nakano was able to go from being a crazy-looking cronie of the legendary Dump Matsumoto to one of the premier stars in Zenjo is the early 90s and the most internationally successful female ever. It all begins with her time in Dump's Army, Bull (as in "Bulldozer") along side Crane Yu and Yukari Omori, she was first just another goon, but in short time she stood out as a worker. Following her break from Dump, Bull made an impact as a top star including several WWWA Tag title runs and enjoyed a nearly three-year run as the WWWA Champion. Following her loss to the new monster heel, Aja Kong, Bull was demoted out of the main scene and left the company soon after. She enjoyed title runs in Mexico and the United States, making her the first woman to win major women's titles in the three major wrestling countries (only Akira Hokuto has done it since). While never retiring officially, Bull Nakano has been out of wrestling for over five years, has dropped a lot of weight and is pursuing golf. A fanastic monster heel, who took Dump Matsumoto's look and antics and added a strong work ethic, setting the trend for women like Aja Kong and Kaoru Ito in the years after her.
