All things I've heard points to this only being a one-time gig for
Akebono. I haven't heard any American fans that are impressed by
Akebono at all. Typical comment for the BBS I follow: "Um... Akebono
has rolls in his rolls... eeeuuuwah... It looks like he has labia
sticking out of his... um... what do you call that thing he's
wearing?"
I believe this was just a one-time gig thrown in to pop Japanese
interest in Wrestlemania. To that end, and to that end only,
Akebono's appearance was a success.
