When Taka Michinoku first entered the World Wrestling
Federation in 1997, he was a virtual unknown to the fans.
However, this youngster had a "never-say-die" attitude, and
quickly became a wildly popular superstar among the
American audience with his aerial acrobatics. The crowning
moment of his career came at the "D-Generation X"
Pay-Per-View, when he defeated "Too Sexy" Brian
Christopher in the finals of a tournament to become the
first-ever Light Heavyweight Champion. However, after
months of success in his newfound land, Taka found a threat to
his gold from his former friends from Japan! This group, known
as Kaientai, vows to be relentless in their attacks on
Michinoku!
