Great Sasuke

Bio
The Great Sasuke is arguably the most famous wrestler in Michinoku Pro history not named TAKA Michinoku. He founded Michinoku Pro in 1993 as a haven for the blossoming LuchaResu style that was slowly taking over Japan. In 1994, he competed in the Super J Cup, and would leave that event a bigger name that anyone could have imagined. After advancing to the semis, no one gave him a chance against Jushin "Thunder" Lyger. However, in a great match, he pulled off the seemingly impossible. Since that event, Sasuke was seen as one of the best in Japan, and would make appearances in the U.S. for both WWF and ECW. He would go on to hold the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title, and was the inaugural J Crown Champion, becoming one of the few men to have held the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title while it was also a separate belt from the J Crown.

As part of an agreement between Michinoku Pro Wrestling and the World Wrestling Federation, the Great Sasuke was part of the tournament to crown the first WWF Light Heavyweight Champion in 1997. Sasuke's style is incredibly high risk, with moves such as the Senton Atomico, Tope Con Hilo, and the always spectacular Sasuke Special II. His Falling Thunderfire Powerbomb has put down some big names. The Great Sasuke is known as one of the best Junior Heavyweights in the world.
