Name: Yusuke Wally Yamaguchi Active Date(s): 1998 Wrestlers Managed: Kai En Tai Wrestling fans are nostalgic for the Attitude Era. Theyll reminisce over how bad the current product is, and long for the 'old days,' when there were adult plots and hard hitting drama. But have these people actually watched the Attitude Era? Because although it featured some of the best entertainment, it also featured some of the worst. Like this one disgrace of a storyline, where Yamaguchi-san, the manager of Kai En Tai, got embroiled in a feud with porn star character Val Venis. To make a long story short, Venis slept with Yamaguchi-sans wife. In retaliation, Kai En Tai kidnapped Venis, and Yamaguchi-san tried to chop off his little Venis with a sword. The most memorable moment? Yamaguchi-san screaming, I choppy choppy your pee pee! We cant always choose how were going to be remembered by others, but were pretty sure that no one wants to remembered for this embarrassment.
