Sometimes when I'm Googling to find matches I end up on his Daily Motion channel. Which is under his real name & I hate that I know his real name, I blame Bix & Between The Sheets for that knowledge. Anyway, his last uploaded match was a few months ago, an FIP match from '08, Nigel McGuinness vs Larry Sweeney.

the short version I might gently caress up because it's been a while and sources are scarce, but iirc: Suzuki was a big of Ayumi Nakamura, and wanted to have a song of hers as his theme if he ever made it big. Then he did make it big, real big, big enough to not just license one of her songs--she straight up wrote Kaze Ni Nare with Suzuki in mind. It's a cool loving song on its own just because it's so unwrestler-like, being forlorn and reflective, like some poo poo you'd see in the end credits of an anime and not entrance music. If you ever sit down and listen to the song on its own, you'll understand why people sing that part, because it's a very cool part and I also want to sing it

Yeah, the song is about like trying even when it's hard and no-one believes in you and becoming your best self if I remember the translation I read a while back.

Just don't make eye contact. Or draw any attention towards you in general.

Definitely don't say "I wish Minoru Suzuki would come over and kick my rear end."
ESPECIALLY don't say anything bad about One Piece, though, he's a huge fan.

it's, unclear. They are currently owned by a Canadian television mogul's holdings in Anthem, and before that have basically never turned a profit in their entire history in any fashion. So, probably not, but there is a chance that Anthem has managed to pare back costs to stop it from being the comical bleeding pit of money it has been since inception.

The thing is, I would love it if Impact succeeded now that it's officially ditched all the TNA stuff. They need a bigger budget and better bookers, but being a solid third choice for wrestlers in the US without looking like an indie hall with some LED boards would be good for everyone involved. They'd just have to get it the hell away from Leonard Asper, who has historically run every one of his family's business prospects into the ground.
