[10.0] "Super Strong Machine/Junji Hirata is back in the 80s/90s a solid midcarder and a good tag team wrestler i really like is team whith Shinya Hasimoto and the team with George Takano. Not the biggest career and achievements of course he never won a g1 or the IWGP Heavyweight title. But he's pretty over in japan the Machine mask and gimmick was reproduced a lot of time with of course japanese factions (The Machines, Makai Club, dragon gate version of The Machines), wwe faction (The Machines) and by wrestlers his son Strong Machine J and a lot of guys Andre the Giant, Axe from Demolition, Blackjack Mulligan, Sasadango Machine for ddt etc. In pop culture the Super strong Machine mask can be seen in advertising, manga and animation. Also a great trainer for njpw dojo. I think he deserve a 7 as a wrestler maybe 8 as a trainer but for me it's a 10 cause is rating is too much low."

[7.0] "Junji HIrata was a solid midcard worker, good enough to be a credible tag team partner of a bigger star, and good enough to actively contribute to great matches."

[7.0] "I am actually in some degree of shock. Lost in the annals of a lot of Stampede content were some great Sonny Two Rivers matches. I also had no idea until right now that he was not an actual Aboriginal. He sold the idea of being a tomahawk chopping, war dancing native so well, that I just assumed he actually was a First Nations person. Not even joking. Sonny was a part of a lot of the road shows that Stampede did. Stu was famous for having a show in any old town, which was always treat. He would have shows at Rodeos, at Fairs, in Elks Halls. It seemed like if a venue even could hold 150 seats he would put a show on there. And they brought the real stars of the show too. Sonny was an upper card/main event wrestler and quite a whirlwind when he got flying around the ring. Some of his matches with Rotten Ron Starr are all time great matches."
