After coming out of a two year retirement, Onita returned and developed a Hardcore style based on his brief time in the United States years previous. His matched were bloody and violent, and as the man who brought “Death Matches” to Japan he popularized the style to new heights in the 1990’s. All of this made him an icon in Japan, but a handful of experience in the Southern U.S., does not make him a household world to American wrestling fans.
