Hideki Suzuki learned under the learning tree of Billy Robinson for four long years before making his pro wrestling debut. He debuted in late 2008 for Inoki Genome Federation, a promotion where he spent almost six years! After leaving IGF, Suzuki wrestled for various promotion across the country.
Suzuki’s rise in wrestling on the Japanese circuit even earned him the title of ‘MVP’ of the Japanese independent wrestling scene! Nope, this isn’t a made up fact. But a title credited to him by Japanese channel, Samurai TV.

There were rumors of Hideki joining WWE earlier this year after he was spotted taking a flight to the United States. Interestingly, it was only a one-way flight, leaving everyone wondering what exactly is in store for Suzuki. It was later reported he has joined WWE as a coach at the Performance Center.
This isn’t the first time for Suzuki here as he had previously guest coached at the Performance Center. But now, it’s a full-time signing. What’s exciting to see is WWE isn’t closing the door with Suzuki’s wrestling. He can still go in the ring, and it’s a really good decision to put him on TV to showcase what he brings to the table.

Suzuki isn’t like the typical Japanese wrestlers we’ve seen in WWE. He is 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighs almost 250lbs! Now, that is a big and strong man. Something both, Vince McMahon and Triple H like. Will we see more of Suzuki beyond the Diamond Mine? We don’t know at this point. But he is a man you surely shouldn’t take your eyes off of.
