He is the only wrestler who defeated both Antonio Inoki and Giant Baba for titles. He was the only one who became the top gaijin of the Big Two: Inoki's New Japan Pro-Wrestling and Baba's All Japan Pro-Wrestling. Between late 80s and mid 90s, he was voted as the most popular gaijin wrestler on puroresu magazines.
