Masa Saito was not your typical Japanese wrestler. Many of them will never compete outside of Japan, and those that do may do so only for a run or two in the United States. Saito competed often in the U.S. for various promotions often competing in tag teams with other foreign born heels. Saito was a compact powerhouse with a legitimate amateur background (he competed for Japan in the 1964 Olympics). This allowed him to wrestle virtually any American style. As a former co-holder of the WWE tag belts with Mr. Fuji, Saito does have WWE experience under his belt and a large amount of American exposure with other promotions. This could make him a dark horse candidate to become the next Japanese wrestler for the Hall.
