Man, Hakushi had like 95% of the roster moveset. It's no wonder he was not getting good feuds when he showed he was better than most of them. Only Bret & Sean could hang with him.
All you Ring of the Hawk fans should look up Hakushi's aka Jinsei Shinzaki's Diary/Journal of his time in the WWF, he was really dedicated to becoming the best japanese wrestler in the USA and really cared about the fans even though they booed him.
I was working at Hershey many many moons ago I was getting dropped off to work by my parents. I waiting his food order saw Barry Horowitz then recognize who I was serving told my boss my boss gave them free food
I remember feeling sorry for Hakushi as a kid. He started losing a lot but he was so good. He started off winning then he started losing a lot but his move set was so good.
I don't know who said it, but I read that a wrestling personality once said that Hakushi's demotion was what smartened him up to the business. He went "wait a minute, this guy went from being on par with Bret Hart to struggling against Skip?"
Hakushi was SO cool. I loved his ominous theme music, and just how menacing he looked compared to so much of the roster during that time. Had he shown up in 96 when guys like Foley, Austin and Goldust were hitting their stride? I bet he would have had a more famous run.
@@praveshmaharaj4387 oh my science he just did 5 backflips followed by a top rope Canadian destroyer and it's a 2 count this is wrestling clap clap clap clap clap
Jinsei Shinzaki was so underutilized in his WWF run and was supposed to feud with the undertaker, which would have been such a great set of matches! I love his tag teaming with Hayabusa, and he was such a great in-ring worker.
@johnwilliamson3752 Because fans appreciate good matches on the undercard. Don’t try to convince me that Savage vs. Steamboat at WM3 was a worthless match and everybody only remembers that show for Hogan/Andre. Also, the Attitude Era had plenty of good if not clean matches in the main event, especially in the back half.
Hakushi was definitely ahead of his time. Very ominous looking with his entrance attire, reminds me of Raiden. Bret Hart took time off after his loss to Bob Backlund at the end of 94 due to kayfabe injury to film Lonesome Dove, when he returned in early 95 he had a short feud with Hakushi. He claimed Hakushi's finisher was the most painful move ever used on him, but Hart won every match vs him. Kwong is Savio Vega with a mask BTW
At the time i thought he could have been the next Great Muta with the right build and push . But Muta had Gary Hart as his manager who is an underrated talker IMO and was presented as a true threat. Haksushi was in wrong company at the wrong time sadly
Shinzaki was so good (still is I’m sure), it’s a shame that WWE had no clue what they had on their hands. Unfortunately for Hakusi, he was foreign so WWE did what WWE does with foreign workers. Check out Shinzaki’s work in Japan if you want a good idea of how great he really was.
Hakushi's manager Shinja is Orient Express' Sato from 1990 WWF. Ricky Santana is from WWC Puerto Rico and wrestled in a mask as the Iceman for W*NG in Japan and some Big Japan Pro Wrestling shows
The thing I admired most about Hakushi was his dedication to those Sharpe marker tattoos. That had to take some serious work to keep going every week vs. actually getting tattooed.
@@derkaiserzen I know, that's why I made the comment. He did it for EVERY match in WWE, which had to take a lot of time as opposed to only doing it in big main events in Japan.
We were always big fans of Hakushi as kids. He had a great look, and a ton of talent. Bret Hart really put him over in his book. Unfortunately, it was the 90's, and he was Japanese. That's the only reason why he wasn't pushed. Same thing happened to Taka Michinoku, who was arguably the best cruiserweight in the world in his heyday. Bret was also a fan.
Hakushi, Aldo Montoya, and other superstars around 94-95' reminds me so much of the video game, Mortal Kombat. There was even a video game at the time where it had WWF superstars fighting in a similar Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter like style. They would be able to shoot things out of there hands like hadokens and lightning.
The match was Bret is one of my all time favorites. I remember I got the Bret hart dvd for Christmas because I wanted to watch the Mr. Perfect match I heard was so legendary. But the match with hakushi ended up being my favorite
I don't think a better manager would have changed anything. Hakushi's character didn't fit the foreign "roles" that the audience might naturally care about (comedy, giant threat, freak, etc), and the WWF didn't give him the support to generate crowd interest.
Hakushi was amazing, way too ahead of his time for WWE/F TV back then. But his moveset and movement/agility was incredible, I enjoyed watching his brief run
I remember marking out for Hakushi when I was five as a New Generation fan. He reminded me of Tasu from the first two TMNT Movies. Then Bradshaw squashed him and since then I always hated him for that. My hatred for JBL is validated since he's been a complete ass throughout his WWE career (His 2004 reign of terror, drunken fight with Blue Meanie, starting the Brawl For All, and doing that "march" in Germany). Little did I know that Hakushi was Jinsei Shinzaki in Japan and when I got access to the internet, it became my first exposure to FWM. Since then FWM become my favorite wrestling promotion. I highly recommend seeing Shinzaki's matches in FMW. Plus his gimmick is awesome. It will always fly over westerner's heads but he's a Zen Budhist monk in Japan. In context, you couldn't get any more baby face than that. He was like the light version of Undertaker which is really cool. Such an underrated wrestler.
"Montoya" is a fierce competitor for the "Least Portuguese Surname Ever" title, but here we are. If there's anything the 90s were strong in, it was the ability not to give a fuck about what's beyond your own borders.
13:08 - It's not named by the announcers nor you; it's the Flying Space Tiger Drop. I believe that was the move's debut on WWF television. I'm not confident of saying that it's first time on North American television, since John Kornus used it in Smoky Mountain Wrestling.
WWF at the time was dealing was USWA (which explains a lot of the jobbers on this video) and there is a much older wrestler named Buddy Wayne. WWE is notorious for changing names due to lawyer stuff and all that.
Not sure if anyone cares but the writing on Hakushi's face is most likely buddhist prayers. There is an old fable where a blind monk who plays a flute is haunted by the ghost of a wandering Samurai who died in battle. Every night, the ghost would visit the monk to hear him playing his flute. Desperate, the young monk asked a fellow disciple to protect him from the ghost. The monk proceeded to write buddhist prayers on his face and body rendering him invisible to the ghost. Unfortunately, the fellow monk forgot to write prayers on his ears, and the ghost lopped off his ears with his sword.
The writing on his body that you mock, ironically enough, says, "I don't like half-hawk, half-silver back gorilla hybrid gaijin, and I will definitely hit them with a brick."
Dippin' dots are ice cream beads from liquid nitrogen. Pretty good & it comes in many ice cream flavors. I might add... you can find them in theaters & malls everywhere. Because it would be hard to keep the frozen beads of ice cream, cold in stores. Here's a fact, they were found out after a scientist was testing horse feed in liquid nitrogen & decided to use ice cream instead.
You seem to have left out Hakushi's match with Barry Horowitz, which was a major turning point in Hakushi turning face and gives context to his feud with the BodyDonnas.
Hakushi vs 1-2-3 Kid was such a dynamic match. It reminded me a bit of the incredible performances of Ricochet, but a decade or two earlier, and a bit less explosive.
When i was a kid in the early 90’s i used to always do the Hakushi cartwheel flip thing and land an elbow on my brother against the corner of the wall (turnbuckle). Even though he wasn’t pushed, my child eyes still thought he was cool.
1:39 the hawk mentions a line by Bobby Heenan on commentary here. He has to mean jerry lawler, right? Pretty sure that Heenan had left for WCW over a year before this
It was Shawn Michaels actually After Macho Man left for WCW in 94, Vince once again moved to using guest commentators on Raw until April 95 (same as after Heenan left) and this was during the period when Shawn was co-hosting the show with him for 2 & a half months (December 94 to mid-February 95).
The Bret Vs. Japan thing was just a way to restart his feud with Jerry Lawler since Lawler's legal issues was why it ended abruptly back in November 93. If I remember right, it started when Lawler called Bret a racist on a King's Court segment over Bret winning some magazine award and that's how Hakushi and for one night, Bull Nakano got involved. The Japan thing was dropped after King of the Ring I believe and Dentist Kane was being introduced.
95 could have been so much better with good booking and better gimmicks....... Bret, Owen, Bulldog The Kliq & PJ Taker & Kane Hakushi Lafite Savio Golddust Rikishi Candido Douglas Bigelow Jarret Sid Janetty
My friend and i thought this guy was pretty awesome back in the day, although i completely lost track of him after WWF. Glad to be able to watch this video about him now 😄👍
OMG I just love the way you call Jeff Jarrett slapnuts and when you call Drew McIntyre - McDonald. I can't hold my composure dude you were just too fucking funny and entertaining I love your channel man with the hulk Hogan bird
I remember him from the In Your House PPVs, such a great look. Another great video Marky. Merry Xmas to you and all my fellow subs. Hope you have a great day
I used to really liked Hakushi as a kid. I still do, but I used to too. He was the 3rd heel that I ever liked in the WWF after The🐐Undertaker & Ludvig Borga.
9:58 - I wondered where Sting got the idea of giving Hollywood Hogan's severed head as a present on a WCW Nitro. Too bad, we never see Bret Hart's reaction to it.
Dip n dots was a ice cream that they used to have here in America lol 😂 but other than that this video was super hilarious only thing that it was missing was hearing a wild slapnuts appears Jeff Jarrett just kidding y'all we get that here in this video i choose you Jeff use guitar shot now use ref bump ahahaha
Maybe if he was a full blown heel, they could have found more technically sound opponents for him to show off his arsenal. Woltman knew how to work a match with him.
One of my favorite matches on TH-cam is Great Muta vs. Hakushi at the Tokyo Dome. An awesome match. Muta changed his name to Kokushi and formed a team with Hakushi.
Hakushi’s manager was Sato from Orient Express , fun fact (?). There’s a match with him vs Undertaker you can find on TH-cam still IIRC. This is not when he was with WWF actually.
Justin Credible (Aldo Montoya) is of portuguese descent? Wow, I was looking at his tights and noticed the little PT flag stamp. Always nice to see the motherland represented! :D
Thanks for taking my suggestion of hakushi hawk, I do have a couple others if your interested mean mark ( undertaker) wcw Or for the tag division the dude busters ( calyen croft & Trent baretta)
I live in New Zealand and wrestling was banned from television for the early part of the New Generation but you could still rent VHS of the pay per views. I remember seeing him for the first time at Summerslam 95 (first time I saw HHH too) and being very impressed with his agility and fluidity in the ring. He had a great look too. I wish they had brought Hayabusa over with him, I know Hayabusa wanted to remain loyal to FMW but they would have been a great addition as a tag team in the WWF at that time.
Aa intellectually aware as I am that Sid was over in the 90s, I'm always amazed whenever I remember he went over... basically anyone? Especially in WWF
Man, Hakushi had like 95% of the roster moveset. It's no wonder he was not getting good feuds when he showed he was better than most of them. Only Bret & Sean could hang with him.

I don't know who said it, but I read that a wrestling personality once said that Hakushi's demotion was what smartened him up to the business.
He went "wait a minute, this guy went from being on par with Bret Hart to struggling against Skip?"

I think he was supposed to be the opposite of the undertaker in Japan
@@anonluxor470 An obstetrician?

@Breakfast of Champions just rolls right off the tongue. "My god! It's the Obstetrician! Time to cut the cord, cuz he's here to deliver, baby!"
At least it's good to know that Hakushi is still going, and is still doing great in-ring in Japanese promotions in 2020s
He wrestled week ago in tv

@@rusty9514 Go and watch his tag team match with Hayabusa in ECW against RVD and Sabu. You owe it to yourself.
The way Hakushi was booked must of been the reason Vince Russo was convinced Japanese wrestlers would never get over in the US.
In russo’s mind, the only way they could get over was having a bunch of them cut off Val Venus’ ding a ling live on raw
Wrong.
The way they wrestle and can't cut a promo is. That's why njpw can even beat impact in rating's. ✌️

Big ups to the Hawk for giving his editor a shout-out. Very few TH-camrs actually even acknowledge that they have editors or people to help them out.
Hakushi is an intense workhorse, always present even if the match ends in a wacky finish with him losing, he still maintained strong work ethic

The thing I admired most about Hakushi was his dedication to those Sharpe marker tattoos. That had to take some serious work to keep going every week vs. actually getting tattooed.
He's only doing it in WWF/E due to the weekly program.
In Japan, the Sutras writing is for Big Match, Big Event only

Thanks for taking my suggestion of hakushi hawk, I do have a couple others if your interested mean mark ( undertaker) wcw Or for the tag division the dude busters ( calyen croft & Trent baretta)
I live in New Zealand and wrestling was banned from television for the early part of the New Generation but you could still rent VHS of the pay per views. I remember seeing him for the first time at Summerslam 95 (first time I saw HHH too) and being very impressed with his agility and fluidity in the ring. He had a great look too. I wish they had brought Hayabusa over with him, I know Hayabusa wanted to remain loyal to FMW but they would have been a great addition as a tag team in the WWF at that time.
Also @6:09 when you said 1 2 3 kid pinned Owen Hart it was actually Bob Holly who pinned him
Bless you!
Man I was so into this guy back in elementary school
Aa intellectually aware as I am that Sid was over in the 90s, I'm always amazed whenever I remember he went over... basically anyone? Especially in WWF
