WRESTLER OF THE DAY: GENKI HORIGUCHI


RIPPA

Recommended Posts

My first choice today was Satoshi Kojima put I already picked him (click the link to see all the matches no longer available. Stupid internet). Genki Horiguchi also has a birthday today and will be a fine replacement... maybe...

 

Of course - he seems to work for all the feds that having having content online

I believe he's their primary booker still as well. Real name Hiromi for anyone who cares and no he wasn't related to that other Horiguchi that was around for awhile, that was worked. I love his approach to his baldness, do wacky shit to whatever he has left with extensions and funky haircuts. Stupid hair bleaching killed his surfing gimmick, but he got a longer career out of the HAGE stuff anyway.

I love his backslide gimmick SO MUCH that I have pitched it to more than one young guy in hopes that they "get it" and start doing it.  I agree that losing his hair was probably the best thing that ever happened to him though.  The H-A-G-E stuff was so organic and done with alot of love by the fans.  He's probably the best Ricky Morton in DG history when it comes to tags.
