Trivia / Tsuyoshi Kohsaka

Go To

  • Follow the Leader: Other RINGS wrestlers like Masayuki Naruse, Yoshihisa Yamamoto and Wataru Sakata utilized his patented TK scissors on the ring.
  • Real Song Theme Tune: "Sex & Religion" by Steve Vai in his early RINGS days. He also used "Driving South" by The Stone Roses in his later RINGS days.
  • What Could Have Been:
    • Kohsaka was slated to face either Mark Coleman or Vitor Belfort at UFC 17, but he was retired from the card due to health problems.
    • He could have been booked to win the RINGS Heavyweight Championship the same year, but Kohsaka preferred to continue fighting in UFC part time rather than focusing on RINGS alone as a championship run would have demanded.
    • He could have faced Ricco Rodriguez at UFC 35 but Kohsaka had already committed to a match for RINGS on 12/21 in Yokohama and UFC didn't want to promote a match with the guy fighting a few weeks before their show due to the potential of injury.
