Forgot Flanders Could Do That: Liger is so known for his cruiserweight and lucha libre ventures that everybody in the U.S. was surprised when he volunteered to replace Kensuke Sasaki in his Mixed Martial Arts match against Minoru Suzuki; they had forgotten that Yamada was a high level freestyle wrestler and one of the last New Japan wrestlers who trained under Yoshiaki Fujiwara. Granted, it didn't matter very much given how the match turned out
Foreign Wrestling Heel: Demoted to this in WCW in late 1995. The theme for Starrcade 1995 was the "World Cup of Wrestling," a series of matches pitting regular WCW guys vs. New Japan guys. Of course, they had Sonny Onoo as the representative for New Japan. WCW even told their stupid audiences at the Disney tapings to boo Liger no matter what he did. He was also an evil foreigner with Okumura, Naito and Yujiro as La Ola Amarilla in CMLL.
