Tell me about Ebessan

[Boku AKA Da Green Guy]

I want to know more about this guy.

And post matches that you like too.

[Hiroshi Hase]

I loved his stint as Ebetus Jack in ROH, when he faced Samoa Joe with Foley in his corner and wanted to do Cactus Jack's elbow off the second rope to the floor and each time, he got scared and went down one level to the apron, then after being deathly afraid of the height, went to the floor and did a regular elbow drop to Joe, eliciting a huge "HOLY S***" Chant from the fans there.

[Boku AKA Da Green Guy]

Oh man, do you have video of it?

;D

[Tha Kid Joker]

Ebessan pulls off the sickest suicide dive ever.

After you watch that and have 16 minutes to put aside, make sure you watch Ebessan vs. Samoa Joe vs. Jack Evans vs. Delirious. There's this great spot with Delirious and Ebessan when the ref tells them that they need to actually start fighting, and...

Gotta watch it for yourself.

Click the first vid on the list.

[Boku AKA Da Green Guy]

Cool, thanks.

I've seen the first vid before. I've actually ripped off that move for one of my new EWT guys.

;D

[Sajoa Moe]

There's an Ebesstan Hansen on there somewhere.

[Chuckie Finster]

There's a battle royal in a Sasuke Office show in which the final two are Ebataro and Minoru Suzuki and let me tell you, brilliance....sheer brilliance.

I'd post it if I could but it's way to long and too big as it's got several other matches on the same track.

Ebestan Hansen vs. La Uchida (Osaka Pro)

I can do one better, at least in pointing out some oddball Ebesan ephemera:

Track down the Hong Kong movie (yes, Hong Kong) TIGER MASK. It stars Sammo Hung's son, features Sammo Hung, and has Super Delphine and Ebesan (as themselves) and the plot revolves around a restauranteer that's big on Japanese pro wrestling. The film is 2 or 3 years old.

Then, check 'em out in KABUTO NO BEETLE, from the folks who brought you THE CALAMARI WRESTLER.

The 4 way with Joe, Delirious, and Evans is GOLD.

BOOM SUCKA, KONICHIWA B*TCH!

Greatest Jack Evans quote ever, in my opinion.

[Big DSR Energy]

Ebessan is cool. He goes by Kikutaro now. I was there for Ebetus Jack vs. Samoa Joe. Also, he wrestled the slowest match ever (intentionally) against Darkness Crabtree. Comedy gold. It was in Chikara. Not sure if you could find it on Youtube, but it is quite cool.

[STMP]

His mask is scary.

And I prefer La Uchida, because I have no idea what his gimmick is. He looks like random guy doing silly dance for no reason at all. I mark for that.

[Big DSR Energy]

KUISHINBO KAMEN!!!!!!

[wrath]

Omg I wish all wrestling matches were like this.

I must find this movie

[invaderdave]

Ebetaro hamming it up during a Joe promo is priceless. So priceless, I made a pic of it;

Here's the official site. Jushin Liger, Super Delphine and Billy Robinson also appear in the film.


Its Japanese title is: 兜王ビートル

and that actually reads, "Kabuto-O Beetle." Or, "Beetle Helmet."





EDIT: More ebesan.

The real game...



I was so stoked when i had front row tix to ROH This Means War and got to see him in person.

You know, given how he's stopped most of his, *ahem*supplements, Trips resembles Ebesan a heck of a lot these days.

The mask makes Ebesan look a lot like Lemmy.

[Space Ace]

Looks like the bad guy from Galaxy Quest.
