In his prime, he was booked as the absolute #1 foreigner, and either #2 or #3 alongside Tenryu, with both behind Jumbo Tsuruta, definitely #2 when Tenryu left.
How did Hansen get so over in Japan?
Daniel Cox
Carter Miller
Apparently he used to get drunk and lariat people on bicycles
Julian Hall
A big beefy dude who just lariated the fuck out of everyone would make all the indy manlets look like clowns, it'd be ridiculous.
Luke Lee
You're goddamn right. youtu.be
According to his wiki page, he's the only guy to have singles title victories over both Inoki and Baba in AJPW. Sounds S tier to me.
Joshua Collins
yeah, that was what I was getting at. Audiences are sick of twinks.
Alexander Wilson
Bradshaw was WWFs Stan Hansen, and he floundered for nearly 10 years before breaking through that glass ceiling. Hansen was a simple seek and destroy heel, no nuance at all, just fight LARIATOOOOOO
Zachary Harris
Hansen was a way better worker and had charisma. He would have been over. Hansen also isn't a closet fag.
Cameron Sullivan
WWE already has a giant texan that lariats the fuck of indie shitters
but I bet you won't guess who it is because they have done a great job of making you not give a shit about this person
Easton Jones
>Bradshaw was WWFs Stan Hansen
kill yourself
Thomas Baker
couldnt get over or draw in America so he spent all his time in Japan. other gaijns would just do a quick tour and leave. this guy stayed
