There's the second Kaientai line up.

Pictured are (from left to right) Yamaguchi-San, Dick Togo, Taka Michinoku, Men's Teioh and Sho Funaki. You'll remember Taka and Funaki, maybe Yamaguchi from that whole Val Venis "choppy your pee pee" angle (look it up), and have been introduced to Togo, but Teioh? Who's he.

Another fine worker, that's who. Teioh was the least-flashy of the initial Kaientai crew, and yet he was never a poor addition. In fact, Men's showed some charisma when he was part of the parody-rich bWo faction over in ECW. There, he worked as 'Terry Boy' in a spoof bWo Japan offshoot designed to get some laughs.

Teioh would never do anything that remarkable in the WWF. He wrestled 16 matches for the company in total throughout 1998, then returned to his native Japan pretty much exclusively. Men's is another who has been forgotten by all but the most hardcore of fans.
