Manager(s):

Additional Information:

BIO: Eiichiro Yamazaki is a former sumo wrestler who took up Western-style professional wrestling, where he uses his size to push around his opponents and level everything in his path.

Except he isn't.

Eiichiro "Henry" Yamazaki is in fact a Japanese-American whose ancestors were interred in the infamous camps during World War II. He played offensive lineman for the University of Hawaii, then went to Japan to try his luck in the X League. After that, he was recruited into the world of professional sumo, a career path cut short due to injuries and a gambling scandal. After this, he took a shot at professional wrestling.

After several years of playing a hulking brute who only ever said the phrase "osu," he has come out as being more than just that. Now, he seeks to climb the top of the sport on his own terms.

Gimmick: A former sumo wrestler and football player, Mushigihara was often a chaotic force of destruction wherever he went, with names such as "God-Beast." Since then, he has reformed and seeks to show his true strength.

Wrestling Style: A modernized version of King's Road style pro wrestling, without the excessive head drops. He hits hard and slams hard, opting for more basic throws and suplexes like the backdrop, double-arm, and gutwrench variants. He wrestles a slower pace, with bursts of power/"fighting spirit."

General Moveset:

Corner avalanche splash, Biel throw, snap scoop powerslam, gutwrench suplex, backdrop suplex, double-arm suplex, overhead belly to belly suplex, Thesz press, big boot
