|  #1 Posted on 1.7.02 1943.50 | Amateur wrestled in the 56k category in high school ... Debuted with All Japan on 10/4/82, losing to future tag partner Hiromichi (Samson) Fuyuki ... Competed in Canada & America, gaining experience as a wrestler ... Returned to All Japan in late 1986, taking on Genichiro Tenryu as mentor and joining Tenryu's Revolution group ... Formed a tag team with fellow Revolution member, Samson Fuyuki, naming themselves Footloose ... The two would go on to hold the All Asia Tag Title three times ... Following Tenryu's quitting of All Japan to form SWS, Kawada began teaming with Tiger Mask 2 (Mitsuharu Misawa), becoming a key player in Misawa's war with the established All Japan stars, led by Jumbo Tsuruta ... He and Misawa defeated Steve Williams & Terry Gordy to raise the AJPW World Tag Team Title on 7/24/91 ... Challenged Jumbo Tsuruta for the Triple Crown title on 10/24/91 ... He lost, but it would be the first of many Triple Crown challenges to come ... Grew as a singles competitor, challenging for the Triple Crown championship several times and although losing, he took the champions to their limits, with each loss becoming closer to winning the title ... Began teaming with former rival, Akira Taue, in early 1993, dissolving his tag partnership with Misawa ... He and Taue would go on to hold the AJPW World Tag Team Title an unprecedented six times ... Won the 1994 Champion Carnival, defeating Steve Williams in a memorable final ... Challenged Misawa for the Triple Crown on 6/3/94, having what many consider the greatest singles matches of all time. He was eventually pinned with a Tiger Driver '91 to end the near 40 minute battle ... Defeated Steve Williams on 10/22/94 to win the Triple Crown for the first time ... Made only one defense, a 60 minute draw against Kenta Kobashi on 1/19/95 ... Lost the Triple Crown to Stan Hansen on 3/4/95 ... On 6/9/95, he and Akira Taue defeated Mitsuharu Misawa & Kenta Kobashi for the AJPW World Tag Team Title ... Not only did he win the tag belts, he gained his first pinfall over Misawa, opening a new chapter in the legendary Kawada/Misawa feud ... Made several failed attempts at winning the Triple Crown, falling to, amongst others, Misawa, tag partner Akira Taue, and Kenta Kobashi ... With Akira Taue, won the 1996 Real World Tag League, defeating Misawa & Jun Akiyama, once again pinning Misawa in what many have called the match the greatest tag match of all time ... During the 1997 Champion Carnival mini-round robin final, he finally pinned Misawa in a singles match. The win however was somewhat tainted, due to Misawa being physically exhausted from a 30 minute draw with Kobashi directly before the match ... Kawada would go on to defeat Kenta Kobashi to win the Champion Carnival ... Finally defeated Misawa for the Triple Crown in an excellent Tokyo Dome main event on 5/1/98, before 58,000 fans ... Lost the Triple Crown to Kenta Kobashi on 6/12/98, after making no defenses ... Once again defeated Misawa for the Triple Crown on 1/22/99. However, he broke his forearm during the match, forcing him to vacate the belt seven days later ... Lost a rematch of 1/22/99, once again falling to the Tiger Driver '91 ... Suffered an eye injury in August, 1999. forcing him out of action until January 2000 ... Lost to Mitsuharu Misawa in the opening round of the 2000 Champion Carnival, being pinned at just 15:35 with an Emerald Frosion ... He and Akira Taue won the World Tag Team Title for a record sixth time on 6/9/00, defeating Takao Omori & Yoshihiro Takayama in a tournament final for the vacant straps ... His career hit a major turning point when he was the only established native star to stay with All Japan after most of the roster left with Misawa to form NOAH ... Teamed with returning former mentor and tag partner, Genichiro Tenryu, defeating the gaijin team of Stan Hansen & Maunakea Mossman in the main event of the 7/23/00 Budokan show ... Lost to Tenryu in the final of a tournament to crown a new Triple Crown champion on 10/28/00 ... Led All Japan in their feud against New Japan, taking on and defeating IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kensuke Sasaki in a historic match on 10/9/00 at the Tokyo Dome, prompting Sasaki to vacate the belt after the match ... Teamed with Masanobu Fuchi in the 2000 Real World Tag League, the pair losing to Steve Williams & Mike Rotundo in the final ... After receiving a bye and defeating Hiroyoshi Tenzan in the semi final round, lost to Sasaki in the final of a one night tournament to crown a new IWGP Champion on the 1/4/01 New Japan Tokyo Dome show ... Lost to New Japan's Keiji Muto in the main event of All Japan's 4/14/01 Nippon Budokan show ... Ended his big show losing streak with singles wins over IWGP Tag Champions, Satoshi Kojima and Hiroyoshi Tenzan, on 6/6 & 6/8 respectively ... Defeated Keiji Muto to win the Triple Crown on 2/24/02, only to vacate it a month later because of a knee injury ... Is widely regarded as one of the greatest wrestlers to ever have lived.
