Loss Posted December 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 Manabu Nakanishi in WCW as Kurosawa, being signed by Col. Parker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ditch Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLIK Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 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.

Tim Evans Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-P Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 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.

FLIK Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
