Place in History - After an Olympic run, Hiroshi Hase stepped into the professional ranks and went all over Japan and North America in an awesome run nearing twenty years. Hase even became a successful politician and since `95 has been splitting time between All Japan (where he mainly puts over people) and his career in government. Hase is a name and seems willing to put anyone over anytime. He has proved to be not only selfless, but is always able to have good matches with nearly anyone. Recently Hase became a key figure in the on-off promotional war between New Japan and All Japan before striking out again to do his own thing. Hiro Hase might not be the legendary figure that he could've been, but his place in puroresu history is important and should be recognized.
