I have these 3 back to back to back on my list (currently #8-#10). I constantly go back and forth on which of the three I prefer. So, who you got? What order are they on your list/will they be on your list?

Hokuto
Devil
Bull
All should be top 10

I currently have them:
Devil
Bull
Hokuto
I have almost no conviction in that ranking. I feel like every time I think about any of them I assume they are the #2 woman on my list and then I remember the others exist and I can't sort them clearly.

Bull
Devil
Hokuto
Bull is the best because until her career was ended by the knee injury she has a 10 year full-time run of never being anything short of great at whatever she was tasked with in wrestling, and that starts when she's 17. She doesn't have the gaps that Hokuto has. She doesn't have the iffy run as a babyface or Ace that Devil Masami has. And if anything Bull was in the tougher spot. At the start of 1990 she becomes world champion in a company in a big business nadir after their top stars had all retired. Bull got no rub whatsoever, she won the vacated title beating Mitsuko Nishiwaki which basically meant nothing. People talk about how wrestlers elevate other in matches and what not but Bull had to elevate an entire roster/company, and she did such a great job that almost three years later as her title reign ends the company was in a new boom period, and totally unlike how her reign began, Bull ended it by putting over the next top star as successfully as any torch handing match ever.
Alongside the more straight in-ring comparisons, those achievements are why I have Bull higher.
Devil over Hokuto, they had pretty similar cases and strengths really, but in the end it comes down to Devil being great for about 15 years and Hokuto can't match that.

I voted for Hokuto who was number 1 for me the last time I did the preference revealer. I may be guilty of overvaluing peak in this case but at her best she is the best I have ever seen. This could change, there are quite a few people I would consider for number 1 including the other two candidates in this poll.
I had Bull at 3, and Kad makes a compelling argument in her favor overall. I am not sure if I have ever seen a mediocre or disappointing performance from Bull.
Devil I think was around 10, but she is amazing of course.

Kad's case for Bull is a compelling one. I can see her jumping Devil for me. Bull feels like old faithful. She was one of my favorites as soon as I saw her as a kid. There has never been a time when I really dipped on her, even as I discovered others. Not only does her career speak for itself, but her brand of awesome is timeless and endures - at least in my case - changes in taste and interests.

I'd have Bull 3rd of these. Not a knock on her - just a reflection of who she's up against. She's consistently good but even her best stuff rarely clicks with me on the level my absolute favourites do.
Voted Masami for the poll but it's super close between her and Hokuto.

Masami, Hokuto, Bull. Masami wins out with the extra longevity
