December 25, 201113 yr comment_5490879 Nakanishi looked solid as a young lion and had a great pedigree, so I understand WCW for being interested, but he just wasn't US TV quality yet (and wasn't for a long while). Thankfully he wasn't around forever.
December 25, 201113 yr comment_5490904 I remember exactly two things about his run in WCW. 1) the time he fucked up Road Warrior Hawk's arm on a Clash of the Champions and 2) the time Disco Inferno beat him on Nitro when a giant Disco ball lowered from the cieling and he smashed him in the back with it.

June 22, 201213 yr comment_5507602 This along with Hakushi in WWF are signings I never quite understood. Although at least Kurasawa had guys like Benoit and Hawk to work with.
January 23, 201312 yr comment_5529959 Hakushi was more understandable to me, he was one hell of a worker, and he had a look and a mystique that was easy (well, should have been at least) to market. Nakanashi was a big green goof at this point. And why the hell would they call him Kurosawa anyway ? It's like a green Johnny Ace coming to Japan and being called Ford.
January 15, 201411 yr comment_5580253 New Japan had a long standing relationship with WCW and had sent many previous talents over there (Muta, Liger, Sasaki) for long stints. WWF signing a Michinoku Pro indy guy is way more random as fuck...
October 17, 201410 yr comment_5633826 Col. Parker is in "Japan" at the home of Kurasawa, who apparently hangs out in his garden in full ring gear. Cue cheesy gong sound effect.
