Tatsuo Nakano (June 16, 1965) is a Japanese professional wrestler and mixed martial artist.

Professional wrestling career[edit]

Trained by Karl Gotch. Nakano would make his debut on August 29, 1984, against Satoshi Hiromatsu at Takasaki City Central Gymnasium for Universal Wrestling Federation (Japan).

In 1986, when New Japan Pro-Wrestling and UWF formed a business alliance, the match between New Japan's young Yuji Funaki and Akira Nogami teamed up with Yoji Yasuo was UWF. It was a good game that fused style and new Japan style, and it became a famous card on the undercard.

In 1987, he participated in New Japan Pro-Wrestling's Young Lion Cup.

In April 1988, he participated in the launch of New UWF. The new UWF gained popularity at the venue with a style that confronts the rugged characters head-on, and especially at the Hakata Star Lane tournament, the "Shachihoko solidified" shown in the match against Tsunehito Naito left a strong impression on the fans at the time. He was called Hakata man with the audience saying, I like Nakano and Me too.

After dissolution of the new UWF, he participated in Nobuhiko Takada's UWF International. Vader although he served as an opponent for the first time, he was knocked out in seconds. It is said that this match was made possible by the enthusiastic push of a reporter who fell in love with Nakano's character.

On October 9, 1995, in the match between UWF International and New Japan Pro-Wrestling, he clashes with Shinya Hashimoto in the semi-finals of the Tokyo Dome. Showed a weight difference of 40 kg, in a little over 7 minutes, he suffered a give-up defeat with a triangle choke from a vertical drop DDT, and Hashimoto branded him as disqualified, saying, "I'm not good enough. You can't win with kicks alone." . However, in the preliminary battle held in September, he played against the group of Riki Choshu and Yuji Nagata in combination with Yoji Anjo, and took away the give-up from Nagata with a solid cross. .

After that, he clashes with Kensuke Sasaki and Riki Choshu in the U ring, but is defeated. Around this time, he lost to his junior Kenichi Yamamoto and Yoshihiro Takayama in the U's comrade confrontation, and continued to lose.

In 1996, after leaving Japan, he was active in various indie groups, including All Japan Pro-Wrestling and WAR.[2] In 1997, he worked for Battlarts.

In 1998, he retired from wrestling. He only wrestled five matches during the 2000s.

In 2010, Nakano returned to wrestling full time. He worked for Guts World Prowrestling. In 2016 he worked for Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling.

Nakano still wrestles as of 2021.

Mixed martial arts career[edit]

In 1998, he fought in a Vale Tudo style in the Shootboxing ring against Emmanuel Yarbrough, but lost in less than a minute. He has had several mixed martial arts matches, but his record is not good.

Wrestling styles[edit]

He has a strong competitive spirit and frequently gets nosebleeds. I don't respond to handshakes in front of the gong. Another feature is that he is restless during interviews before the match, and his body is constantly cramping.

Unlike other beginners, he has little attachment to the so-called “UWF style”. He says that his fighting style is "just practicing what was imprinted on him when he was first introduced."
