[TOP GUY TIME]

Ah fuck RIP. Most would only remember the Mania match probably, I saw a few more matches in AJPW I remember, thought it was crazy bc I didn't realize the Sumo guy from Mania kept wrestling lol

Didn't just do sumo and pro wrestling....he fought Bobb Sapp and Don Frye in MMA.

Only 54? I don't know who he is but i've always heard about him so I just assumed it was gonna say like 88
