History Wrestling / SUWA

'''Takahiro Suwa''' (b. 1975) is a retired UsefulNotes/{{Japan}}ese {{Professional Wrestl|ing}}er, better known by his ring name '''SUWA'''. He entered professional wrestling in Wrestling/UltimoDragon's puroresu/lucha libre Wrestling/{{Toryumon}} circuit, where he graduated in the very first class along with future allies and enemies. After some months, he joined two of those to form Crazy MAX, a group of punks and thugs who became the first and most mythical villains of the promotion. Under the leadership of Wrestling/{{CIMA}}, the companionship of Don Fujii and the management of new member Wrestling/{{TARU}}, SUWA presented himself as an unpredictable psycho who lent style and heart to the group and acted as its second in command. Through many years they ravaged Toryumon, fighting other gangs like Wrestling/MasaakiMochizuki's [=M2K=] and Wrestling/MagnumTOKYO's Do FIXER, and SUWA in particular won every individual title in the company. This success only stopped when their mark broke away from Último Dragón in 2004 and became Wrestling/DragonGate, a new promotion with a LighterAndSofter outlook towards professional wrestling. This drove SUWA to leave in disenchantment, only keeping ties with the similarly departing TARU, and join Wrestling/ProWrestlingNOAH after a time in the search of greener pastures. SUWA remained as a heel mainstay of NOAH until his retirement in 2007, and he still did a brief return in 2013 before having to retire again.

!!!"Scoundrel Tropes":

* AxCrazy: SUWA was Crazy MAX's most unstable member, and that is saying something next to punks like CIMA and dastards like TARU. He was perennially aggressive, cocky and angry, and coud snap and beat up someone at any time. Even his wrestling style was unsophisticated and raw compared to most lucharesu movesets, more based around brawling and high-impact than anything.

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: He could become a bit too obssessed with violence at times. Also, in order to lampshade his first retirement in NOAH, he started wearing pink attires and doing comedy spots on the ring to homage Haruka Eigen, who had retired the same year.
* CombatCommentator: Often worked as one in NOAH, with a bit of CloudcuckoolanderCommentator thrown in due to his usual abrasive personality.

* IWantYouToMeetAnOldFriendOfMine: Invoked. Back when he was doing his Haruka Eigen parody, doing all but state he was going to retire soon, he contacted TARU and apologized to him because, despite all the years he had wrestled, he had never gone to Wrestling/AllJapanProWrestling so he could join him. After hearing the message, TARU and all his Voodoo Murders invaded NOAH and teamed up with SUWA in order to fulfill his wish in a way or another, and it was then when SUWA announced his retirement. Two months later, TARU and SUWA finally did it the proper way when the latter became a honorary member of Voodoo Murders and wrestled a match with them in All Japan.
* JackOfAllStats: He had no clear focus on his wrestling style, using body drops, submissions, aerial moves and cheapshots in accord to every moment's need. He does have a fixation for facebusters and groin attacks, though.

* LightningBruiser: He was fast, strong and could jump high.

* BaldOfEvil: He generally went bald, although at various times he grew and wore it in a topknot. Also, in a special occasion he lost a Máscara vs. Cabellera match with Dragon Kid, which forced him to go bald again.

* ChallengeSeeker: Burst into NOAH challenging KENTA and Wrestling/NaomichiMarufuji for their tag titles along with Ricky Marvin.

* GroinAttack: One of his favorite tag team moves was a diving elbow drop onto his opponent's groin while two allies kept the dude's legs apart.

* IKnowKarate: Subverted. His first ring name was Judo Suwa, which went in the line of Sumo Fujii's, but unlike Fujii, who had a real SumoWrestling background, Suwa had never trained in UsefulNotes//{{Judo}}.
* IWantYouToMeetAFriendOfMine: Invoked. Back when he was doing his Haruka Eigen parody, doing all but state he was going to retire soon, he contacted TARU and apologized to him because, despite all the years he had wrestled, he had never gone to Wrestling/AllJapanProWrestling so he could join him.

* JackOfAllStats: He had no clear focus on his wrestling style, using body drops, submissions, aerial moves and cheapshots in accord to every moment's need.

* RealMenWearPink: During his short-lived Haruka Eigen impersonation.

* BaldOfEvil: He generally went bald, although at various times he grew and wore it in a topknot.

* {{Heel}}: One of the few wrestlers in Japan who played a western style antagonistic heel, even after he left Dragon Gate for NOAH.
* {{Jerkass}}: In character and, depending on who you ask, out of character too.

* SeriousBusiness: SUWA has made many, many derogatory remarks about the comparatively light hearted nature of Dragon Gate as compared to other federations like Wrestling/ProWrestlingNOAH.
