Masanobu Fuchi

[El Fiasco]

Is anyone else in agreement with me that Masa Fuchi, despite his age, is a very underrated assest of All Japan? I know he's past his prime, but his tag matches with Kawada and bouts in the All Japan\New Japan feud from a few years back were all very impressive. I think Mutoh should be utilizing someone like Fuchi more than he does Arashi or Sapp.

Just like Hiro Saito in New Japan, if Fuchi is satisfied with his position in All Japan, nothing is wrong with that.

Just because someone is very talented, it doesn't mean he/she has to be pushed. There are people who know their roles. Michiaki Yoshimura, who recently passed, is a perfect example. Kengo Kimura, who is retiring soon, said the Tokyo Dome card on May 2nd would be too much for his retirement and asked for something less.

Of course, I agree with you that Fuchi is talented.

Fuchi's a good hand. I think I'm one of the only people that actually found his feud with Kendo Ka Shin last year to be really entertaining.

He deserves our respect...

I wouldn't mind seeing a good Fuchi vs. Nishimura match...

Wow, never thought about that! Sounds really cool.

I didn't get to see any of Fuchi-Fujiwara matches except a tag team match. Anybody seen it? Must be really interesting.

Wouldn't it be great if Kimura fought Fuchi just before he retires?

Just think of what could have been... Fuchi is older now, but in his prime against today's Nishimura... That could have been a 2 hour time limit draw
