• Former WWF Royal Rumble Entrant Celebrates His Birthday
Japanese Wrestling Legend Takao Omori celebrates his 51st birthday today.
Since his career started in the early 90s, Takao Omori wrestled for several Japanese promotions, such as All Japan Pro Wrestling, New Japan Pro Wrestling, Zero1 and Pro Wrestling Noah.
The North-American old school wrestling fans only remember him from the ‘WWF Royal Rumble 1996’ PPV, where he was an entrant in the 30-man Royal Rumble match, but was eliminated by old school WWF Legend Jake “The Snake” Roberts.
He’s still not retired yet and is still wrestling on a regular basis these days.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAKAO OMORI!
