    Brian,sorry to hear about my friend little Tokyo. He and cowboy Lang worked for Tony Casta and I for many years. Under the leadership of Lord Littlebrook who booked these special wrestlers they entertained fans all over the globe. Any time I had toyko on a card you knew he was going to give his all. I remember the piece where he and Lang would go to hook up and Lang would jump back and look up at the ceiling, Causing Toyko to think it was falling in. He was one of the best.
