Early 90s WCW question...

[Guest Youth N Asia]

in the early 90s in WCW there was this Japanese guy who use Nerve holds as finishers...would make guys pass out and get wins and not release the holds...you know the deal

 

Who the hell was this!!!!!!

 

I remember him doing the move on 2 Cold and "hurting" him with it...can't picture him or anything though.

 

Smarks...help

[Guest pete]

I am thinking it was Yoshi Kwan or maybe Kurasawa.

[Guest MasterMadness]

It would have been Yoshi Kwan.

 

A horrible gimmick for a horrible wrestler, Chris Champion.

He had 1 PPV match in the early 90's with Cactus Jack.

[Guest Retro Rob]

Yeah, Yoshi Kwan. I think Kurasawa came in around 94-95.

[Guest Youth N Asia]

Thanks

 

I was thinking the guy's name was Kwang...but I knew that was WWF...I can rest easy now

[Guest Bloodice]

No it was yoshi kwan aka Chris Champion of the new breed in the late 80's of the nwa

 

kuraswa was NOT yoshi kwan

[Guest the 1inch punch]

Whats the sound of 3000lbs of shit hitting the fan

 

KWANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Guest The Czech Republic]

Who was Kurasawa?

[Guest Bloodice]

Kurasawa was a wcw mid carder in the early 90's managed by Robert Fuller aka Col. Parker and now wrestles for new japan. He had promise in a feud against sting and road warrior hawk but never got over or used right and ended up back in new japan.

[Guest Zack Malibu]

Weren't they pushing Kurasawa by having him break Hawk's arm in a tag match at the summer '95 Clash that had the Arn/Flair vs. Vader handicap match. I seem to remember Meng/Kurasawa vs. Sting/Hawk opened that show.

[Guest pete]

Yeah he did injure Hawks arm. They also put him over Hawk at some Pay perview. I want to say Fall Brawl.

[Guest The Hollywood Fashion Plate]

Kurasawa beat Hawk at Halloween Havoc '95.

[Guest pete]

You are correct sir. At the time that happened I was shocked by that finish.
