Maybe it's just me, but it seems like every single time Kaz or Yang are put in the 6-man main events, they're the ones to do the job. And who is 200% Machine?

[Muiyan]

from what i read elsewhere, 200% Machine is none other than Kaz Hayashi himself.

[DANGEROUS DAN]

I have read that 200% machine is former shooter Yoji Anjoh.

So it is truly a mystery as to whom is behind that mask.

[EvilMidnightBomber]

Thanks Dan and Muiyan. www.puroresupower.com seems to back up the Anjoh theory. Either way, as long as he keeps beating Ka Shin, I'll be a happy man.

[Hisaharu Tanabe]

Anjoh started using the "200% Machine" gimmick during the New Japan-UWF Int'l feud.

[Hisaharu Tanabe]

"200% Machine" was scheduled to face Kashin, but "200Million% Machine," who later revealed himself as Kaz Hayashi during the match, came in and pinned Kashin for the win. However, Masanobu Fuchi had changed it to a non-title match right before the match.
