Hello there.
I've been watching Japanese pro wrestling ever since 2006 when I found some Liger and Muta matches on YouTube.
I was familiar with Super Strong Machine (Junji Hirata), but I didn't know he feuded with Inoki upon his 'rebranding' after an overseas excursion nor he was part of a faction lead by KY Wakamatsu (who, I think, was a TV celebrity — feel free to tell me if I'm wrong).
I understand this faction and their rivalry with the babyfaces in New Japan was incredibly popular, so much so that the legendary Kazushi Sakuraba used it as an inspiration to play mind games with the Gracies.
From a clip I saw, Wakamatsu would use a megaphone and cause distractions at ring side, similarly to Jimmy Hart.
So, what do you know about them, apart from Hirata or when Andre became the Giant Machine in the WWF?
