Guest Markme123 Report post Posted April 30, 2003 I have heard of Njpw's Super Stong Machine, and of WWF's old Machines (Giant, Stong, Super(?) Which one debuted the gimmick first? Is there a reason that they both had the same type of gimmick at around the same time? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Black Tiger Report post Posted April 30, 2003 New Japan's Super Strong Machine is/was Junji Hirata(sp?) the guy who is currently Makai Mask #1. There used to be a wrestler called Giant Machine in the late 80's-early 1990's in Japan, I'm not sure if it was in NJPW or not though, if it was in NJPW, then odds are it was Andre, the same guy who was Giant Machine in WWF.

Guest mach7 Report post Posted May 2, 2003 I think the Machine gimmick did come from Japan originally though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
