Hayabusa DVD Review

This is a superb three disc set that showcases the legendary Japanese high flyer Hayabusa. A man who was cut down in the prime of his career during a seemingly simple in-ring moonsault. Slipping mid move he landed on his neck and is now paralysed. Here we get to see the man in action with bouts fomr his entire career, incuding the vioent FMW matches and of course many of his trademark high-risk moves. This is a must for fans of Hayabusa, high-flyers or simply wrestling enthusiasts.

The National Enquirer has an article that states Hulk Hogan had an affair with a friend of his daughter Brooke, during the time he and his wife of 25 years Linda were having marital problems. The woman was a person who the family knew and worked alongside Brooke on her album. Looks like the knives are coming out for the Hulkster in the build up to his divorce.

Cena has of course juggle dmovies/wrestling whereas Rock has stayed firmly in Hollywood and not the squared circle.
