RIP Hayabusa

[Vinny Lupton]

I like a muthafukka at this. He was a legend. He went global. His influence is still felt today


Thanks for the memories

A true pioneer, another one gone too damn soon

Dammit, R.I.P.

He was the first Japanese wrestler whose stuff I went back to check out and download when I was an internet n00b in 2001. RVD during the Invasion put me onto old school ECW via KaZaA, and the next thing I know, 13-year-old me is watching exploding barbed wire cage matches in Japan Hayabusa/Shinzake vs RVD/Sabu was my favorite match for a minute. Thanks for the memories
