  @Nomad And i know you only said 2-3 but thought i might also throw in atsushi kotoge because after his stint in Osaka pro he went over to Noah where he currently is signed to. Along with tigers mask(not tiger mask,his gimmick is based off of manga,tigers masks gimmick is based off the hanshin tigers) and black buffalo.and honestly,there are a lot of wrestlers from Osaka pro that i find way too interesting to be left off but at the end of the day, its your decision,not mine.

Instead of sorting the WWE face/heel roster by upper card, mid card, low card, injured, and inactive, can you please revert the current roster breakdowns back to the one that was listed before which is just sorted by men and women please?
