I saw him in the 6 man match from TripleMania and was surprised that he actually looks younger now than he did in WWE or HUSTLE for that matter.
And yeah, I liked Hiroko too.

Ah yes, I remember watching the main event of the 2006 Wrestel Expo where he was in a barbwire match against another guy. Now that was how a deathmatch should be done, minimal hardcore but making everything count.

I downloaded AAA from Youtube, and was stunned to find out that Kenzo Suzuki was doing The Great Muta impersonation. I saw Kiyoshi doing similar gimmick in TNA, btw AAA looks like a smaller yet exciting version of TNA because of tjhe 6 sided ring. ;D He was? LOL Really though his character in AAA is pretty much his character from WWE a goofy japanese guy who loves the united states. Also the guy is one of the best RUDOs in Lucha Libre, hell if he was in WWE he'd be the IC/US champ now because of how awesome he is. I can't stress enough just how awesome the guy is. Really TNA should look into bringing him in...again..

Kyoshi is already being merely around so they'd only waste Kenzuo on their over stuffed roster w/ their 1 show a week.

We need this attitude in the west stat! It's not all that positive. Wait wait wait, how are you familiar with these? You are somehow different from the rest in the thread in terms of motivation, right?

A lot of my favorite wrestlers have done photobooks. I know a little bit about Japanese culture and the photobook culture is what "Perfect Blue" is about where that woman goes crazy and kills people who have objectified/violated her but then it gets all paranoia agent at the end. It's really common- some are fancy and some are smut. They try to be respectful towards the women but it doesn't always work. People still demonize or objectify; there's no happy middle ground that doesn't place a social stigma.

I agree that someone in WWE/TNA needs to utilize the Faceclaw STO. I think it'd be a great move for an X-division guy.

Well, when you think of the Claw, you think of big guys, right? yeah, but usually only when the claw is used strictly as a submission move. The STO is usually a more fast-paced agile move. Like, if I saw Shelley or Sabin bust it out in a match, it would be awesome

Not as awesome as when Kenzo does the move though, Small guys doing moves doesn't look as devastating as when a big guy uses it.
ex: Knox Out>>>>>Shell Shock
