10 ECW Wrestlers You Don't Remember
You definitely don't remember these ECW wrestlers
9. Ikuto Hidaka
ECW always seemed to have close ties with Japanese organisations and were able to bring in stars like Atsushi Onita, Masato Tanaka, Hayabusa, The Great Sasuke and others at their peak.
In the winter of 1999, the small Battlarts promotion sent a promising rookie on a learning excursion to the land of extreme, presumably in the hope it would give him the sort of seasoning and exposure it had provided fellow Japanese export Yoshihiro Tajiri.
Ikuto Hidaka wrestled 11 matches in total between November 26 and December 18, three of which were televised. Two of those were against the dependable Super Crazy, a complimentary opponent for the high-flying Hidaka.
Bursting onto the scene and dropping jaws like Rey Mysterio had four years earlier, the ECW fans immediately embraced him.
It was hard not to marvel at the speed and crispness of Hidaka, who was just a couple of years into his professional career at that point. He only got a few opportunities to show the American audience what he was all about, but he made the most of it and left the Philadelphia faithful wanting more.
