8/10 I like it when he said "BANZAII!"

I didn't know he died...when and how did he died?

The best move Yokozuna made was the yokozuna bomb (sitting on the opponent's chest). Other than than he feels tired so quickly, so as the match progresses, he gets slower and loses the ability to continue the match.
Best moment for him is when he broke the sable he was with Jim Cornette, British Bulldog, Owen Hart and Vader. He gets a 6/10

I don't remember enjoying any of his matches. The gimmick was okay and I guess he was reasonably mobile for a guy of that size but the main thing I remember about him was that he looked like he was concealing hundreds of crab apples in his tights.

A failed big man experiment by Vince. I file him alongside King Mabel as a bad 90's decision.

5/10

I often find myself defending Yoko's honor. In my opinion, hes the best "monster" heel of all time. For his size, no one was that agile. Technically no one was even his size. The guy was pushing 700 lbs. (started at like 500) The guy has accomplished a lot and is the ONLY wrestler to beat: Hogan, Macho, Bret Hart, Taker,...he's probably beat HBK too. His fued with the those guys except macho as it was a squash was classic. He didnt have any mic skills, but really didnt need any. His face turn wasn;t a huge sucess, although his weight problem had something to do with it.

PWInsider said:
TNA will tape Impact tomorrow and Wednesday in Orlando, Florida at Universal Studios. No matches have been announced yet for tomorrow's taping, although the promotion is teasing that the person from "The Network" that has been screwing with Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff might be revealed.

As to who it might be, feelers were placed through SpikeTV towards Paul Heyman for such a role many, many months ago, although I don't see that happening as he's hard at work firming up his autobiography for its September release and has at least one other book deal in the works, plus everything on his plate for his Looking for Larry Productions.

If I had to wager who it was going to be (and no one has told me anything), the most logical choice would be the "former" TNA President, Dixie Carter.

I'd be surprised if it wasn't revealed as Dixie. If Dixie's going to be the person, I just hope they don't go far with it, because i'm not really in the mood to see yet another Dixie vs Hogan/Bischoff/Immortal feud being dragged on for months.

Knowing TNA, it will be the most obvious choice: Dixie. I would love to see it be Heyman, but hell, I doubt they can even afford him. Who knows. I wouldn't mind it being Foley either. He's still with the company right? Haven't seen him in a while. Never know...

I hate this network storyline and only way I'll care is if it was Heyman. Otherwise it has just been annoying and has come off pointless. Not a fan of them always mentioning ratings on T.V the way they do. Just comes off too desperate to get ratings.

To be honest, I'd rather it be Dixie than anybody new, the company has enough authority figures as it is so having one that is already established making a comeback is the lesser of two evils in my eyes.

That's true which is why I hate this storyline from the go. They do this way too much and it always doesn't seem to work as good as they intend to.
