He is a legend in puroresu. A pioneer of Junior Wrestling. I believe he is 5'3" . I have a bio of him on my site http://legendsofthering.150m.com

He is the man.
I've seen some of his matches, and if you like ground-based wrestling, you will like him. |

Legend but I don't like him ever since he worked Monday Nitro in the Russo era. He was told to drop the IWGP Jnr hvy title to Juventud Guerrera and not only did he not bring the belt with him to the ring but he failed to catch Juvi on a plancha and nearly killed him. Totally unprofessional.

See J Cup 94, his semi final match with Sasuke is one of the best, if not the best match ever.

Well Juvi asked him later why he didn't catch him and he wouldn't give him an answer or apologize.

He's awesome. His match with Sasuke was badass. I prefer Junior Liger to heavyweight Liger anyday. Palm strikes own all.

I'm just learning about the guy right now. I know he has a biography, but I don't feel like reading it all. So I need to ask these question...
What ground based or heavyweight moves does he do, besides the Liger Bomb? What's his moveset like? |

Well, While I'm a huge fan of Liger, I'm ashamed that he didn't catch Juvi off the Plancha, I actually throught he was more professional then that, Then again, this is the same man, Who stop being friends with Hayabusa, because he refused to go to New Japan.
Now, however the Title Part, I can understand, One, Vince Russo shouldn't have asked and demended a title change since it's not his company's belt to do so with, But then again, I'm sure that, Russo might of gotten permission for a Title change, but then again, that is Russo we're talking about....... |

He was told by his own bosses in New Japan to drop the title to a WCW wrestler and he'd get it back a week later. He brought the belt to Nitro but never took it to the ring. Juvi had to get the belt backstage and made sure pictures where taken of him wearing it (for the Japanese magazines and such to make people believe it happened). Russo is a dick, no argument there and how he got the belt back to Liger was stupid but if Liger had caught Juvi, he would have been physically able to step in a ring a week later and drop the title back to him.

Well, just checking the Officially Title History of New Japan and the Jr. Heavyweight Title, I guess they actually acknowledged the title change....

http://bahufmw0.tripod.com/Hayabio.html
But here is what is says Eiji Ezaki remained out of action for a couple months as he healed and waited for his contract with FMW to expire so he could decide what to do with his career. While in Florida, he decided to go backstage to a WCW World Wide taping show where his best friend Jushin Liger would be. Liger and Ezaki talked for awhile which lead to Liger offering Ezaki a contract with New Japan Pro Wrestling, where Ezaki would be pushed as one of the top Jr. Heavyweights for the promotion for much more money than he was receiving with FMW. Ezaki sat back and waited awhile to make the decision that would probably affect the rest of his wrestling career. He ended up choosing to go back to FMW, where he would be used as the Number one wrestler in the promotion. When he called to tell his best friend Jushin Liger, that he was going to stay with FMW instead of going with New Japan, it made Liger furious and Liger began screaming and yelling at his best friend for the stupid decision he apparently was making. Liger then told Ezaki, that if that was his choice, then their friendship was over, Ezaki still decided that staying with FMW was the best thing to do, and he and Liger have not talk to each other since the incident. |

Whos' more professional out of the two? Now that's a question... |

I prefer Juventud in the ring, but it seems they are both assholes in reality.

In a match I would feel safer with Liger. He is not as careless (and intoxicated) as Juvi.

Personally I love Juvi. Who has he ever had beefs with (even when he ran over Brad Armstrong, he didn't even have bad things to say!)?
