Norio Honaga

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Norio Honaga is a Japanese professional wrestler.

Honaga started in New Japan Pro Wrestling but jumped to Riki Choshu's Japan Pro Wrestling satellite of All Japan Pro Wrestling in an "invasion" angle. He returned to New Japan with Choshu and others in 1987. Immediately he began ascending in the junior heavyweight ranks and feuded with Jushin Liger and El Samurai over the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship.

Upon retirement in 1998, he became a referee. He stayed in New Japan until joining Riki Choshu's short-lived Fighting World of Japan Pro Wrestling.
