Flashback Jun Akiyama 1992-2001
Pro Wrestling NOAH's Jun Akiyama is not only one of the greatest technical wrestlers but also an evil, mean, and nasty one in Japanese Puroresu right now. Akiyama (6', 231 lbs./188cm, 108kg) was born in Izumi City, Osaka on October 9, 1969. He did swimming when he was a junior high school student and did amateur wrestling (Free style 81kg class) and judo in Takaishi High School in Osaka. He went to Senshu University in Tokyo and joined the amateur wrestling team that produced Riki Choshu, Hiroshi Hase, and Manabu Nakanishi. He joined Giant Baba's All Japan Pro Wrestling on February 3, 1992. He debuted as a pro wrestler against Kenta Kobashi at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo on September 17, 1992. When Jumbo Tsuruta faded because of his inflammation of the liver, Akiyama was selected as a new tag team partner of Akira Taue in the Real World Tag Team League Tournament from November 14 to December 4, 1992. He excels in wrestling sense and techniques, and his hard training made him close in on Mitsuharu Misawa, Toshiaki Kawada, his brother-figure, Kenta Kobashi, and Akira Taue. When Misawa left Mrs. Motoko Baba's All Japan Pro Wrestling and started his new group, Pro Wrestling NOAH, in July 2000, Akiyama followed Misawa, along with 23 other wrestlers and 18 office workers. Since then, Akiyama has established himself as a radical opposition to Misawa and Kobashi in the ring, and he has even shown interest to face New Japan Pro Wrestling clearly.
