The Most Obscure and Forgotten Champions In New Japan History

The Most Obscure and Forgotten Champions In New Japan History

This month, New Japan Pro Wrestling celebrates an awesome milestone of 50 years. Since 1972, the King of Sports has been one of the premier wrestling promotions in the world and in the month of March, we will look back at New Japan. I already wrote an article talking about wrestlers fans knew but probably didn't know they held a championship in New Japan so I'll move on to part 2. With a promotion that's been around for half a century, you will always have your share of legends as well as obscure names that have been champion. Not every champion can be an Antonio Inoki, Tatsumi Fujinami, Riki Choshu, The Three Musketeers, Jushin Thunder Liger, Hiroshi Tanahashi, and Kazuchika Okada. Every now and then, you're going to get someone who fades into obscurity and when you hear their name, you go "who?". Here, we'll take a look at New Japan's most forgotten and obscure champions in their history.

Note: The pictures are not mine but those that I found on google though I know some came from New Japan Pro Wrestling and Puroresusystem.fandom.com

Richter Belmont Theme (Symphony Of The Night Version)

"What need for the shepherd when the wolves have gone? My time on this world has come to an end."

Not to sound morbid but I want those to be my dying words one day.

Interesting Facts about Scott "Razor Ramon" Hall

Interesting Facts about Scott "Razor Ramon" Hall

On March 14, 2022, the wrestling world was devastated when what was almost once considered unthinkable happened when wrestling legend Scott Hall a.k.a. Razor Ramon passed away. After battling and keeping demons at bay for years and near death experiences, The Bad Guy would succumb to complications regarding hip replacement surgery. To me, Hall will go down as one of my all-time favorites as had the whole package as a wrestling superstar from talent in the ring and on the mic to great mind that could be considered a wrestling genius to oozing charisma and was someone that could be considered the embodiment of cool. If "cool" took the form of a human, it probably be Scott Hall. His story was also fascinating including battling demons for decades but unlike many of his colleagues of his generation, Hall would get redemption and for the most part, overcome his demons though he had his setbacks especially towards the end. While he didn't have the happiest story or life, his final chapters had their share of great moments and memories all the while it no doubt allowed him to prolong his life. In the days since his passing, many wrestlers, fans, and news sites have paid tribute to him. However, many of the stories feel like the same thing as most bring up the usual achievements like him being a co-founder of the nWo to his Wrestlemania X ladder match against Shawn Michaels but there's so much more to remember. I wanted to pay tribute to one of my favorites and what better way than to bring up interesting facts that could also be celebrated as achievements or moments in Hall's career.
