* CreatorsPet: In PWFG. He got pushed to be champion of the promotion and beat Wrestling/YoshiakiFujiwara twice, which may have been one of the many reasons the split that created Pancrase happened. Ironically, Fujiwara disliked him when they first met, mostly because he was a foreigner. It took Masami Soranaka vouching for him and Bart bringing over hundreds of Reebok shoes from the US for the wrestlers that got him on Fujiwara’s good graces.
