• Hardcore Wrestling Veteran Would Have Celebrated His Birthday

Today would have been the 50th birthday of Old School Japanese Hardcore Wrestling Superstar Hayabusa (Real name: Eiji Ezaki).

He mainly wrestled in Japan (FMW, …) and Mexico, but also appeared in ECW once, when he joined Jinsei Shinzaki (WWF’s Hakushi) to take on the team of Rob Van Dam & Sabu at the ‘ECW Heat Wave 1998’ PPV.

Hayabusa was paralyzed after a botched Moonsault in 2001 and passed away from Cerebral hemorrhage in 2016.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY & REST IN PEACE!
