Hakushi theme

[ortonrkoviper]

The gay ass wwe needs a japanese wrestling stable.

[ortonrkoviper]

This should be Yoshi Tatus new theme music.

[largest85]

@ortonrkoviper Hell yeah especialy with his new face paint gimmick

[jae44]

An incredibly underrated match from the 90s was Hakushi vs The 1-2-3 Kid. It was on Raw I believe, it was such an INCREDIBLE match. Definitely ahead of its time.

[downwiththemaster]

it is INSANE on how much talent wwe has wasted

[MultiSinoda]

this dude rocked!!! damn shame he couldnt go further in his career with the wwf.

[thuganomics84]

I remember this guy from the 96 Rumble. Cool song. Shame he didn't fit in with all the 6'8" unathletic Monsters of mid 90's wrestlin (With the exception of Hart n Michaels). Lets face it. Mabel sukd, as did Diesel n Sid Victious

[TSMontana]

Awesome theme. WWE truly doesn't know how to handle Japanese talent. The only guy who remotely got over was Tajiri, and that was only because he got over in ECW. Shinzaki should have a had at least one title reign in the WWE.

[onemortal]

@TSMontana WWE relies too much on promos and mic work and doesn't emphasize ring ability enough. Although HHH may be trying to change that with Sin Cara, but the general attitude is the same as always. And non-native English speakers have a severe disadvantage in getting over on the mic. They really need to bring back managers for those people.

[ecmulder]

Where's Hakushi's WWE Legends figure? If Sgt. Slaughter can have 50 this guy can get at least one?

[BYOSProductions]

what ever happend to him?

[firemoder]

@BYOSProductions Guest starred in ECW as his Shinzaki then returned to Japan

[graspbymyself]

The Great Jinsei Shinzaki known to WWE fans as Hakushi.

[BrickCity4eva]

the White Angel: Hakushi. He and Taker would have had one hell of a match.

[obskure1]

@BrickCity4eva Hakushi and Taker did have a match with each other in Japan. It used to be on youtube, not sure if it still is.

[BrickCity4eva]

@obskure1 ohhh really?!

[mmmikeyxx]

Hell yes!

[ortonrkoviper]

Hakushi needs to return to wwe and form an aliance with Yoshi Tastu and Tajiri bring back tajiri.

[MrTantraMan]

@ortonrkoviper

Wjile they are at it have what WCW did and have three man tag teams to umph up the entire roster.

[TravisDrago]

I bow to Hakushi...I know what his tattoo's mean to....but Uh I am obligated by the Emperors office of greater Japanese Authority and translation to not and I repeat DO NOT release such crutial and valuable information....thank you for your time

[Gentile106]

@TravisDrago It's alright, dude.

[imaniluva6]

@TravisDrago i don think imma die cuz i wanna kno wat his tattooes meant its not that serious hahaha

[TravisDrago]

Fucked up thing is I loved both Dragon and Hakushi..despite the fact they tried to make him look like Raiden from Mortal Kombat

[metalbornmetalbred]

This msic was more Godfather-esque rather than Japanese.

[apolanco602]

can someone tell me what happened to him is he still alive i used to watch him in the wwf cool wrestler

[TheRockNRollMaster]

UNDERRATED WRESTLER BUT MY FAVOURITE

I MISS HIM IS GREAT

RETURN IN SMACK DOWN !

[imaniluva6]

this dude and undertaker had a rivalry in japan awesome matches

[Smicallion]

Why are people commentating as if Hakush was Kobashi or Misawa? I'd hardly call him a legend or any such. He was very mediocre and he phoned in a ton of his matches.

Kids need to stop being parrots/sheep and actually watch some of his work. Most Puro fans will tell how lazy Shinzaki was for the most part. Sure he had a neat gimmick and look, but his performances were usually uninspired shit.

[scarryterry]

@Smicallion "uninspired shit"? Please, no one in the WWF was doing what he was doing at that time.

[scarryterry]

@Smicallion I brought up the WWE since he is mostly associated (certainly by those viewing this video) with having wrestled in the WWE. I don't really know what to tell you about him putting on a decent performance. Watch his match with Bret Hart on Raw or the 123 Kid on Summerslam. Or his tag team appearance with Hayabusa in ECW. Than come back and tell me his performances were uninspired shit.

[Smicallion]

@scarryterry LOL he is not mostly associated with WWE, except maybe by those who have seen hardly anything. Most wrestling fans know him as Shinzaki. You're talking about nothing but American wrestling regarding a famous Japanese wrestler who is known mostly for his work in Japan, way to go. Also, that ECW match you're talking about was completely garbage too. Please, don't bring that up.

[MrTantraMan]

If only he wont he WWE title then people would see how talented and gifted this guy really is.

[killjoy757]

had some decent matches against bret hart

[HawaiianRoss]

I remember this guy... My Dad took one look at him on TV and said he looked as if he fell asleep on a Japanese News Paper.

[MrTantraMan]

@HawaiianRoss

LMAO!

[Aznar245]

haunting!

[darkastonvillafan]

Hakushi> Most wrestlers today

[boru25]

Looks like Rayden from Mortal Kombat with the hat!

[Keepitgreasy11]

@boru25 I think thats what McMahon was trying to go for lol

[boru25]

Good thing he didn't allow him to preform fatalities or they would of been in trouble!

[dennnis2781]

since you're great at pulling up rare items... where's taka michinoku's theme song? Please load and let me know when you have it , thanks.

[dennnis2781]

His highlight moment was his feud with Bret Hart which was great but they should've kept pushing him!

[5445baby]

gay gay gay and GAY

[CBear47]

@5445baby Stuck in a hall of mirros, are ya?

[BoredGamer]

WWE really screwed up with Hakushi. He could have been such a great heel.

[stingernitro]

i relax to this theme

[hazza3]

A great song fitted for an extremely talented and under used wrestler.

[alexkaranji]

WWE 90's theme song are actually better than TNA actual songs..

[YourEverydayGameFan]

HBK should have used this in his "White Undertaker" bits...

[brianhejda]

This would have been awesome as shawns  music last year. The way he came in it would have been just like the spy vs spy situation.

[imaniluva6]

what if undertaker used this theme wow

[aas8]

one of the grestest themes of all time!!!!!!!

[DJA216]

The feud he had with bret hart was epic

[bluethundershark]

I was what ever happenend to Hakushi

[undertaker210]

nice oriental music love the thunder in the backround.

[Saboi253]

Truthguy, do you know how long Hakushi lasted in the WWF/WWE? What a great talent! He never got a big push, did he? Too bad. Vince Never pushes Asian Talent(s). OH well, but who knows... Maybe he(Vince) will give Yoshi Tatsu a push and make him the ECW Champion!!

[MrTantraMan]

excellent comment. hakushi should have won the IC title at the very least or the Tag Team Championship with *laugh* Barry Horowitz.

[IGiveAndYouTake]

Vince doesn't push Asian talents because they don't get over well with American crowds.

It sucks I know but it's the truth and blaming Vince for it is silly

[BeastNation2009]

That does suck! He got over with me and I just started watching some of his matches.

[patg316]

The Orient Express were way over as a tag team, and they never saw the tag titles. Tajiri was waaaaaay over, and Vince never saw fit to give him a run with at least the IC belt. As for Hakushi, Bret Hart has been on record saying Hakushi was a tremendous opponent. His look and theme were way over with my friend base. So, I believe Asians can and have gotten over.

[IGiveAndYouTake]

Wrestlers liking wrestlers and you liking wrestlers =/= the general population accepting Asians

[patg316]

Those guys were way over. Check out the old tapes and listen to crowd response. Yes, I did like them, but I am basing my statements on old tapes shoiwng these guys being over.

[IGiveAndYouTake]

Tajiri and Sasuki were tag champions.

[patg316]

But that wasn't their ceiling. The Orient Express' ceiling were the tag titles. Tajiri could've at least had a run with the IC title when it still mattered. Instead, he never elevated past the light heavyweight/cruiserweight title. Sasuki could've at least won one US title, but again, nothing. Singles wrestlers winning a tag title is not a push....it's giving them something to do since they won't be pushed as singles stars.

[IGiveAndYouTake]

Winning a title isn't a push? XDXDXD

This is why wrestling fans need to stop pretending they have a clue what they are talking about.

[patg316]

A push is extracting maximum value from a performer based on fan response, in-ring ability and abilitiy to produce promos that sell matches and feuds. This is where these guys get hurt, but not enough for them to get a decent secondary title run. Hell, Umaga of all people was IC champ, and Khali was a World champion. So, again, these guys did generate plenty of fan response (Tajiri, Hakushi and Michinoku were the biggest), and none reached their maximum potential (i.e. push) in WWF/E.

[IGiveAndYouTake]

XD A push has nothing to do with crowd response. Hell you even used Khali as an example. The crowd didn't care.

Look at Drew, the crowd don't care.

A push has nothing to do with crowd response, a push is just promoting someone in a higher light than you did before.

So winning a title is a push

[patg316]

Anything now.......nobody cares. As for Khali, that was an anomaly because Vince was getting his rocks off with a big guy. A title is not a push. A sustained run with a title can be a push.

[IGiveAndYouTake]

XD It was because he was making MILLIONS from Indian fans.

God you're stupid.

Please for the love of all that is holy, don't have kids.

[patg316]

Stop! First, I disagree with all you're saying, but I am not insulting you.  It's embarassing you have to stoop to that. Now, you've got to be kidding if you think he had Khali go over because he's Indian. That'd be even a bigger indictment of not having an Asian competitor go over (yes, I know India is in Asia, but I mean someone of what Americans call Asian, i.e. Chinese, Japanese, Thai, etc). Asia is the world's largest continent, and places like Japan are total hotbeds for wrestling.

[IGiveAndYouTake]

Yes he did push Khali because he was Indian. That was the ENTIRE idea. Same with Kozlov. Kozlov failed but Khali made WWE millions in India.

The facts are on the table. Look them up and have a fucking clue what you are talking about before you comment on WWE.

I'm not trying to insult you it's just I feel like I'm trying to talk to an idiot here because you don't have a clue about anything you're talking about but yet you're still sure of yourself.

It's embarrasing/

[patg316]

Please advise of source. If you show me the numbers proving that, I'll believe it. Kozlov was WWE's answer to MMA, and it failed. It had zero to do with trying to get Russian fans interested in WWE. So, please advise of source and numbers, and I will back off this. It still doesn't change the fact Vince missed out on these Asian stars, as they were far more over than Kozlov or Khali could ever dream of being.

[IGiveAndYouTake]

Khali's reaction have topped this XD

And Kozlov wasn't successful but Khali was India. It's not an American thing. Remember, WWE is trying to milk money from all over the world. Not just the USA

[patg316]

But they have not been allowed to get all the way over.

[patg316]

Oh, and Taka Michinoku was super over when he was first the Light Heavyweight Champion.

[MrTantraMan]

@IGiveAndYouTake

True

[Truthguy2121]

shinzaki was awesome,was never going to get any push espicially in the comedy day and age in wwf 1995.Amazing music,very chilling and eery!

[SuperSonicHot]

Hakushi was badass

[destructoboy995]

Great wrestler. Enough said.

[rvd2die4]

hakushi and yokozuna have two of the best theme music of all time, not to forget the oriental express

[jademperor]

yokozuna was of Samoan origin born in san francisco

[cmuhammad1977]

one of the best themes ive heard!

[jomy507]

he looks like mr.fuji

[locustloco]

underrated as shit this guy was

[MrTantraMan]

@locustloco

That's for sure: he should have held a title of some sort to be honest.

[MrTantraMan]

@locustloco

This dude was really talented and should have been used with guys aside from Bret Hart.

[UnsentPhoenix]

YO! A Megaman X2 ad! Nice!

[SiouxHogg]

It's irritating how WWF/E misuses/d certain wrestlers

[MISSYOUMOSSIE]

This song was played at my funeral .....

[hofert1999]

One of the most under rated wrestlers at dat era

[WhoKilledDizzy]

Do you have the true version of this theme? (It actually plays at a much lower speed than this).

[PSmith5194681153]

This is the same song, at the same speed, from the WWE (then WWF) album released in 1995.

[WhoKilledDizzy]

That's not what I mean. On the album, the song is not played at the correct speed at all. If you go back and watch any of Hakushi's match from 1995 (as a heel), you'll hear a huge difference. It's played at a much slower speed, and sounds much more, shall I say, "emo".

[yungmoneyD]

Whatever happened to him.

[SynacaI]

I seen this clip of him being an exclusive Japanese wrestler with a zombie gimmic

[Entertainmentwf]

He's been in many of all the round a bout promotions in Japan, sticking around Michinoku Pro a lot but, works a lot like a freelancer for all japan. Has had quite the career ranging from his brief venture over to the wwf for a bit while mainly staying around new japan earlier. He keeps with his original gimmick but more as a "newly born" Hakushi since the angle where he comes back from the dead.

[YakuzaTrash]

he went to ECW as Shinzaki then probably went back to Japan

[roylucier]

I don't mean to sound rude or all-knowing, but Shinzaki went back to Japan, and has never competed in ECW, so you know.

[mankyller]

Shinzaki competed with Hayabusa at Heat Wave '98 vs Rob Van Dam and Sabu for the ECW tag belts.

[roylucier]

I NEVER knew this!!! Thank you for correcting me, I hate to be wrong, but appreciate knowing when I am.... I do videos on wrestling trivia, and would hate to get a question wrong. Check out my channel, if you like!!

[YakuzaTrash]

well i could be mistaken but heat wave 98 masato tanaka and shinzaki vs sabu and RVD for the tag team belt

[roylucier]

I saw it after the comment, it was Sabu/RVD vs Shinzaki/Hayabusa... thank you

[youngbrolly6]

hakushi wuz such a demon in da ring i hated when they started teaming him up wit barry harowitz they fucked it up n made a joke out of him it wuz so fucked up. my fav japaneese wrestler has always been "GREAT MUTA" but hakushi wuz nice. not better then muta at all but he wuz nice as shit

[rsenal21]

hey this kinda sounds like undertaker's music a little bit

[jhov96]

the best like hitman + yoko , n the clans of wwf and wcw.... HAKUSHI the protector of the yokozuna himself.

[DarkRonin21]

Man, I can't believe how bad WWE dropped the ball with Jinzei Shinzaki (That's Hakushi's real name). The man is a Japanese wrestling LEGEND! WWE has no respect for Japanese wrestlers in general. I mean they had ULTIMO DRAGON for fuck sake, inventor of the Dragonsteiner, the Dragon-rana, the Dragon Sleeper, and the Asai moonsault; and they blew that too. WWE has no respect for Japanese wrestling in general.

[affinite1]

lol ur right, i think funaki is the only japaneese wrestler left on sd, and he hasnt wpn na watch for eeeons

[shortnfine219]

Good call. I just knew Ultimo Dragon was going to hit the scene and reinvent the cruiser division. How they handled him was a farce.

[Cardinal9683]

By NO means am I defending WWE, but I wouldn't say so much that they have no respect, as much as no TRUE KNOWLEDGE of Japanese wrestling.

Guys like Hakushi, Ultimo Dragon, Funaki, Tajiri...all of these guys were world class athletes before they came into WWE...only to be jobbed. Why? Because WWE, I believe, only goes by what they see on tape.

[Spunkalish]

Also the majority of wrestling fans are idiots. I don't mean marks that enjoy Japanese wrestling, I'm talking about the average redneck that watches WWE with their 10 children that like to chant "USA" at anyone that isn't American. Those people buy tickets, so WWE of course has to appeal to them. Puro and lucha libre don't have much place in mainstream wrestling.

[mattburied]

no more words, totally agreed!

[elemntkevin72]

@DarkRonin21 Ultimo didn't invent the Asai moonsault.

Also, those guys never got over.

[calamaty]

@elemntkevin72 They weren't "pushed" the bookers usually push the bigger guys. If the agents and bookers don't like lightweights they're pretty screwed. This is why Japan has great matches and why Nitro had great opening matches. WWE talent relations guy gets hard-ons for big guys so lightweight contenders stay away and the only guys left in WWE can't get over due to lack of opponents and what not.

[VisionofOrion]

@DarkRonin21 I couldnt agree more...out of the many things that the WWE did that pissed me off the treatment of Shinzaki was probally top of the list. WWE always had access to some of the best talent but they always had a hard on for real big guys so the light heavyweights barely go noticed (like when Owen was the Blue Blazer and he was getting squashed by Akeem)

[calamaty]

@VisionofOrion That's why talent left to Japan to wrestle in the early 90s. McMahon has a raging boner for tall guys. HHH made fun of Paul Roma in the Horsemen DVD cause he was "that tall" (5'11) but what the Cerebral Asshole doesn't realize is that those guys put on a good match. So Shinzaki wasn't utilized the way he should, Owen shined as himself. Bigger isn't always better, look at Khali then look at Jericho, Batista then look @ Shawn Michaels.

[VisionofOrion]

i totally agree there are big guys who can sell decently. (Undertaker for one, Bigelow and Vader) For every decent match WWF had they would have three that were terrible. For the early '90s the better talent had a decent run (thanks to Hogan taking off and Ultimate Warrior being so unreliable) I sort of dropped off after '97 once the wrestling started to nose dive.

[MidNightT0k3r]

@DarkRonin21 it wasnt the WWE's fault, they knew how talented he was, thats why he had a contract, but sometimes it does not matter how talented or untalented you are in pro-wrestling, if the fans dont boo or cheer for you, they wont buy your merchandise, vince makes no money out of you, he just couldnt get over with the crowd like the WWE management hoped he would, the same thing happan to ultimo dragon when he signed with WWE

[Optimus313]

@DarkRonin21 I agree with you on that but along with Japanese wrestlers you have to add all Ethnic wrestlers.The wwe I guess don't look at how good they can wrestle and Hakushi can wrestle his ass off. I believe he could have lasted a long time in the wwe.

[Jhicks1585]

Can anyone find The Barbarian Entrance music?

[MystikWizard]

Barbarian only had entrance music in WWF when he was teaming w/ the Warlord as the Powers of Pain.

[Jhicks1585]

thanks brah

[camie513]

Only the WWE could look at this mans in ring work and talent and decide.. hmmm he'd make a good jobber.

[JohnnyHydro]

tell me about it this guy was a fucking cool wrestler. But then WWF decided hey let's also have him wish a HO HO HO Merry Christmas to everyone in a fucking Santa suit. Shame he wasn't utilized better why hasn't an asian wrestler gotten better treatment in WWE. Jimmy Yang needs to be Akio again he's got lots of potential

[affinite1]

in all fairness akio was more under-rated than jimmy wang yang..

[MajicouEx]

Anyone know where this amazing, amazing wrestler is at the moment?

[affinite1]

try not to diss-em barry was awesome...

[cctitansfan]

wwe always seems to use japaneese wrestlers as comedy.like funaki,taka,tajiri,etc.hakushi was good enough 2 be champ

[tmbttes]

yeah, no matter how much talent they have, wwe basically wanted a Great Muta of their own so he can have great matches with Bret Hart like the ones Muta had with Sting, and Bret even said himself that he tought Hakushi

was the most talented guy the WWE had during the Diesel era, yet they paired him with Barry Horowitz and was reduced to nothing more than a jobber thereafter

[y2jbrock]

Agree 100 PERCENT gillbert.

[gilbertblaze]

Hakushi was fucking amazing!!!!

WWE didn't know how to use him at all

he was great

and this theme will always be one of my favorites of all time

[boru25]

He left cause Bradshaw Branded him n he felt McMahon disrespected him for that so he left. He actaully faced the Undertaker in Japan

[Alchemist009]

cool I am surprised that you found his theme complete

[y2jbrock]

the best ever

[devilluffe]

bad ass how bout doing kenta next

[affinite1]

if i can find it...

[MrTantraMan]

Hakushi is white angel but his manager sinja is follower.

[thephantomplatypus]

shinja

[mrquaresma]

thanks man

[Truthguy2121]

YES! Brilliant,best theme song ever,cheers dude!
