I thought I nominated this already. It's a great match-up of Usuda's shoot style and Teioh's sort of post-modern throwback style. I adore the finish. Crowd stinks but that's most of BattlArts
After Volk Han, the best wrestler to debut after 1990 was probably Men's Teioh.

Best wrestler to debut after 1990 is an interesting conversation that I've never really thought about before.
Maybe I shall in fact...give it some thought~
Also yeah, I watched this match a ways back when you recommended a bunch of Teioh on the discord and it's really good. I thought I wrote something about it but evidently I did not.

Going by the last draft of a GWE list, my top 5 post-1990 debut - not in any real order because I'm already not so sure I'd listen to 2021 me - would be:
Yuki Ishikawa, Daisuke Ikeda, Takeshi Ono, Volk Han, Bryan Danielson. Low Ki and Dick Togo would have outside shots at a top 5. Ohtani would probably be in that same bracket, but it's been forever since I've thought about what to do with Ohtani on a GWE (or GWE-adjacent) list and I'm not as high on him as you are anyway. Masao Orihara also debuted at the beginning of 1990 so he's probably top 10. I will have forgotten many good wrestlers, I'm sure.
As a side note - I was somehow not aware that Virus debuted in 1986! These luchadores be wild as hell.
