Jinsei Shinzaki(Spelling?) is indeed awesome. Any puro fans know if he's still active in Japan nowadays?

He had a pretty kick ass match with Bret Hart back in the day. It was the first time I saw someone do a cartwheel into a suicide dive and I crapped myself.

He is awesome. I love his match with Muta where he brings the grave marker thing out and ties it to the ring post. That's pure awesome.

I never understood why they turned him face and aligned him w/ Horrowits who helped him learn English They should of kept him heel then work a program w/ HBK for the IC title. hakushi vs. Bam Bam would have also been an awesome series of matches.

Shinzaki was great, I guess he is underestimated just like Dean Malenko, and there was a good match he put on ECW Heatwave PPV, Hayabusa & Shinzaki Vs Sabu & RVD.........the match had a couple of blown spots by Sabu and Busa but then too its pretty good. Anybody got the link for this match?

Hakushi never would've gotten anywhere in the WWF; Vince has some sort of long standing prejudice against Japanese wrestlers. He wouldn't have gotten promoted any more than Tajiri was.
Funny how Vince will promote a Samoan posing as a Japanese sumo (Yokozuna), but not actual Japanese wrestlers (Tajiri, Hakushi, Funaki, etc).

I was wondering if I was just crazy, of if other people actually saw this. Vince really does seem to have something against Japanese wrestlers. I can't think of one that's gotten a legit main event push in forever.

That would have been interesting, because I actually liked Suzuki, and would have liked to see what he can do on the main event, stupid Hirohito gimmick aside.

WWF REALLY bombed with the Hakushi face angle. Hakushi is one of my all time favorites. He was my first look at how good the japenesse style was (the only other influence aside from the occasional Muta or Ultimo dragon in WCW I had at this time was Orient Express).
Wasn't he in a 6man cage match in ECW as well? I remeber seeing in a ECW vid somewhere seeing him I think standing on the cage and jumping off? I have seen the ECW tag match though and yes it is a wonderful match.

how do you think Kobashi will get pushed if any, if he went to the WWE? He is a big guy also Takayama. You think they will give them ridiculous gimmicks or let them be their awesome selfs.
Hakushi/Jinsei Shinzaki, Ultimo Dragon, MUTA, and Nagata were first Puroresu guys I've seen and I knew their were more awesome wrestlers
