5 years have passed since the untimely death of one of pro-wrestling's most beloved performers of all time: Hayabusa. On this show, originally released one day after Hayabusa's death on March 4, 2016, STRIGGA was joined by FMW expert Bret (@BAHUFMW on Twitter) to talk about the life and career of the man that started his career under his real name Eiji Ezaki and would rise to unparalleled heights until his accident in 2001 as Hayabusa.

This episode of the Eastern Lariat starts off with rather difficult topics as STRIGGA & Dylan discuss Marty Scurll potentially coming into New Japan, Hiromo Takahashi being out for a long time and Kota Ibushi's weird body language.
