I wonder why the Japanese boys don't get sent over here anymore?

But Keichi Yamada is the guys' real name so there can't be any contractual reasons for it, can there? I'm clueless on that kind of thing, bare in mind though...

But "Fuji Yamada" was a great name and he was a tremendous star and had some terrific World Heavymiddleweight _title_ bouts with Rollerball Rocco.

(Amazing how in 1987 in the UK you could get Jushin Liger vs Black Tiger Mk 1 for free on mainstream TV. Twice! Now that's what I call Public Service Broadcasting! Eat your hearts out, yanks.)

It's a pity most fans outside Europe, if they know Rocco at all, know him more for being Black Tiger than for being "Rollerball". Could you imagine Rocco at MSG in 1985 crushing Tito Santana for the WWF I-C _title_ and then taunting the crowd: "The Best Man Won! Yes, the champ wins again!!!"
