10 Things We Learned From The Secret Diary Of A WWE Superstar
1. Reflections On Bret Hart
Hakushi spent much of his first full year working against Bret Hart and The 1-2-3 Kid, presumably to help him find his best-fitting style in WWE as well as give agents and other decision-makers the clearest possible vision of what they had in 'The White Angel'.
Jinsei Shinzaki's takes on The Kid often relate to what he felt were his own physical failings trying to keep up with prime era Sean Waltman, but he's eventually kinder to himself in reviews of his matches with 'The Hitman', as well he should be.
At various points, he says he's "just trying to keep up with" Hart, that he's "a class above me" and in reference to a tag match alongside Jeff Jarrett against Hart and Razor Ramon generously notes that "I hope to be at a level of three of those guys one day." In a pleasing payoff to his own anixties, he goes on to call their In Your House clash his "best match ever".
He's not wrong.
