Hair:
There’s nobody in the world of professional wrestling quite like Minoru Suzuki. The 48-year-old is a throwback to the days of catch wrestling and legitimate submission holds, but at the same time, his toughness and athleticism allows him to mix it up with the best of the best today, including men 20 years his junior.
Currently working primarily for Pro Wrestling NOAH, Suzuki has just made a new career move – he (and Suzukigun underling El Desperado) will be coming to WhatCulture Pro Wrestling in October.

Young:
Suzuki was an accomplished freestyle wrestler before training at the New Japan Dojo, and when he graduated in 1988, he began working for New Japan, taking on the likes of future.
Suzukigun associate Takayuki Iizuka, future IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kensuke Sasaki, and future Junior Heavyweight Champions Akira Nogami and Naoki Sano. Less than a year after his debut, though, he had left Japan’s top promotion.
Despite his quick departure from NJPW, Suzuki is a graduate of what is arguably the world’s most difficult, prestigious, and ultimately, successful pro wrestling training school.
