The Wrestling Observer Hall of Fame Case for Rossy Ogawa
>In the wide world of wrestling, there are maybe a handful of people (non-wrestlers) in the last 50 years that have had a significant impact on women’s wrestling in a positive manner. More so to the extent of making a discernible difference as a booker and promoter. Undoubtedly Rossy Ogawa is one of those few. His ability to adapt, create new stars, and grow an objectively tough business sector stands alone in women’s wrestling. The man also clearly learns from mistakes, and evolves philosophies with the times that have failed so many bookers and promoters over the decades. Ogawa has booked across three different companies to varying degrees of success across multiple generations.
>Ogawa has been a key figure in women’s wrestling since the 1980s with a brief consulting gap from 2003-2008. He has proven longevity with over 30 years of managing, promoting, and booking success of varying levels from the boom periods of All Japan Women (AJW) to the rise of a women’s promotion from scratch to levels statistically bringing STARDOM to number two promotion in Japan as of 2022.
