Line #6 Trivia/Toryumon


1	* BreakupBreakout:
2	** When the Sailor Boys broke up, Taiji Ishimori went to become one of the premier cruiserweights in Japan in Wrestling/ProWrestlingNOAH, while the Satos became a freak indy attraction in Wrestling/MichinokuProWrestling and Big Japan. It was not so stark initially, as the twins still showed a lot of potential and pushes as part of STONED, but when they became the Brahman Brothers it became clear they weren't going anywhere up.
3	** Out of the the Mini Crazy MAX members, Mini CIMA (Wrestling/TakuyaSugi) seemed to have the greatest success, as he was the most famous of the three for his aerial abilities and varied gimmicks and had many stints in high-level promotions, but his career became so inconsistent over the years that he faded to obscurity shortly after his peak. [=SUWAcito=] (Kagetora) turned out the one who broke out, as he received push after push in every promotion he went and eventually became a significant team player in Wrestling/DragonGate. For the rest, Small Dandy Fujii (Rasse) has proved unable to leave the Wrestling/MichinokuProWrestling low card for any extended time, and [=TARUcito=] II simply disppeared.
4	** Los Carros Exóticos seemed to be the launching pad for Shogo Takagi, as he was the only who managed to stuck with the Toryumon system and return to Japan/Wrestling/DragonGate, where he joined the iconic stable Aagan Iisou. However, AI was fired and Takagi ended up doing nothing notable in any promotion before retiring. Meanwhile, Murciélago became Flash Moon and was a mainstay sensation in Osaka Pro Wrestling for many years, so he could be considered the winner. Much straighter with the other two members, Lambo Miura and GALLARDO, as they never even made it out of Toryumon X. GALLARDO in particular had a career that lasted under a dozen matches.
5	* FollowTheLeader: In 2002, Kaientai Dojo introduced a character very similar in role to Stalker Ichikawa, DJ Nira. Ichikawa and Nira even teamed up for some special occasions.
6	* OldShame: While it is unclear whether this extends out of kayfabe, both Ishimori and the Satos have been in storyline ashamed of their past as the Sailor Boys, Ryusuke Taguchi and Speed of Sounds used it to mock them ruthlessly.
7	* TheOtherDarrin: The Shachihoko Machines have apparently been played by different people every time, among them the Sato twins.
8	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
9	** Kanji Ichikawa went to Último Dragón wanting to play a strong-style wrestler in simple black tights, as he has an amateur wrestling background and is a big fan of Wrestling/YoshiakiFujiwara. However, Último didn't like it and gave him the more colourful gimmick of Stalker Ichikawa, a ShoutOut to a character from the Japanese TV show ''Ore Tachi Hyoukin Zoku''.
10	** Dragón also wanted Akihito Terui to use a BackyardWrestling gimmick and the ring name "Chi*Polio Shaburyano", as Terui had been a real life backyard wrestler in his youth (he was a childhood friend of Kaientai Dojo's Boso Boy Raito and both of them did it), but Akihito absolutely refused, and thus he received the character of Milano Collection A.T.
11	** Rumoredly, Kaientai Dojo mainstay Yuji Hino had intended to join the Último Dragón Gym during the Toryumon X phase, but refrained to do so because YASSHI, whom he knew from having attended the same highschool in Kyoto, warned Hino that a stocky heavyweight like him would not benefit from a gym meant to produce junior high-flyers. Hino would later have his proper chance to enter the Toryumon system in El Dorado, where he teamed up with YASSHI.
