Even if you remember the white-clad warrior Hakushi, the man with writing all over him, it's a safe bet you don't remember the white-faced manager Shinja who accompanied Hakushi to the ring during his heel run.

And with good reason, since about all Shinja did in the WWF was get a piledriver from Bret Hart. Hakushi soon plummeted down the card and lost to Barry Horowitz of all people.

For Shinja, better known as Akio Sato, the man who introduced the sitdown powerbomb to Western audiences, this was a far cry from his heyday as one half of The Orient Express.
