Place in History - Yuko Miyato's role in the second UWF was that of an undercarder, unlike in some of the later groups he was pretty good and often carried clueness gaijins to passable matches. He was pretty much their prelim guy and only got a fewer shots in the uppercard, but when paired with the better workers, Miyato proved himself to be a knowledgable, hard worker. What he lacked was mainly size and he was in company busting with masters of the fledging style, often due to experience in the previous company. His undercarder image stuck with him in the UWFi, where he was given a little more room to for push, but he still wasn't up to par with some of his peers. Yuko Miyato might be regarded poorly by some who've only seen the best-of-the-best out of the UWF incarnations, but he was certainly next to the best and served his companies and the style loyally.
