Gannosuke would come off the top rope and nail H with a flying dropkick and begin to brawl with H around the ringside area. With all the chaos going on, Kuroda would manage to nail Hido with lariat to get the win for his team. Fuyuki and the rest of TNR would take off to the back where Gannosuke would himself Hayabusa. Gannosuke as Hayabusa would also announce that he would be doing a porno as Hayabusa along with Japanese porn star Chocoball Mukai.

During the match, Hayabusa would tie Flying Kid Ichihara's valet Sena Wakana to a dog collar, and when Chocoball would see what Hayabusa was about to do to her, he quickly would push Hayabusa out of the way, but would be attacked for his efforts Hayabusa, and would and get nailed with the Super Powerbomb by his partners and left laying. H  would end up pinning Gedo with the H Edge for the victory for his team. H would then grab the mic and challenge Hayabusa to a match where the stipulation wouldn't be something new to Masashi Honda. H would challenge Hayabusa to an Anus Explosion match at the next Korakuen Hall show where the winner would get to set the other wrestlers ass on fire just like in 1991 when Onita set firecrackers off from the the back for making their singles debuts.

October 29, 1999 at Korakuen Hall, H would face Masashi Honda as Hayabusa in an Anus Exploding Match. The two would brawl around the building for a majority of match until Hayabusa would lock H to the turnbuckle with handcuffs and then pull down H's shorts and then place a bottle rocket on his ass with the bottle rocket going off and Hayabusa laughing at the experience H had just gone through like they both had to do after their first single matches of their career in June 1991. Naohiko Yamazaki would finally manage to get the key and unlock H as Hayabusa would run laughing at the experience Ezaki just went through. Later in the show, Honda as Gannosuke would come back out with a baseball bat and call out Fuyuki as Honda as Hayabusa had been suffering a losing streak since he became Hayabusa and was blaming Fuyuki for as it was his idea to have become Hayabusa. H instead would end up coming out and attacking Hayabusa as they would again brawl all over the building and eventually police and other wrestlers would have to separate the two Also, days later H would end up cutting off his long hair due to the dying everyday killing it which would cause Eiji Ezaki to have short hair for the first time in 6 years. 

November 23, 1999 at the Yokohama Arena, H would take on Hayabusa in the main event with former WWE World Champion Shawn Michaels as the Special Referee. The two put on a very good, solid match which has Hayabusa early in the match many times attempt cheap shot referee Shawn Michaels before being Super kicked to a very loud pop from the fans in the arena. As Hayabusa is down, Shawn goes over to Hayabusa and begins to pull off his mask, but H quickly goes over and stops Michaels from doing so. As H is holding Shawn Michaels back, Hayabusa gets up and looks over both of them and then takes off his mask to finally reveal Mr. Gannosuke under the mask. H and Gannosuke go at it for the rest of the match, with Gannosuke actually hitting a reverse piledriver off the apron onto the outside. Gannosuke then hits many supplexs on H and even brings back the Fire Thunder but still only gets a two count. H then takes the offense and hits an H Edge on Gannosuke, and brings back many of his old Hayabusa moves including the 450 Firebird Splash and the Falcon Arrow, before he finally puts Gannosuke away with a Phoenix Splash for the three count by Shawn Michaels. Shawn Michaels then grabs the mic and congratulates them on a great match, and then tells Gannosuke to be a man and shake Ezaki's hand for great sportsmanship. H puts his hand out, as everyone in the crowd looks at Gannosuke to see if he will do what he did on April 29, 1997at the Yokohama Arena and attack Ezaki after putting his hand out in friendship. But Gannosuke this time does shake Ezaki's hand. Gannosuke then grabs the mic and proclaims that he will not apologize for what he has done. H replies with telling Honda that it doesn't matter right now, all that matters right now is that, is that the moment has come that the past is behind them now they're together once again.

December 1, 1999 in Osaka, Eiji Ezaki would team up with Masashi Honda for the first time since 1993 as they would defeat the WEW Tag Team Champions Tetsuhiro Kuroda and Hisakatsu Oya for the WEW World Tag Team titles after H would hit the H Thunder on Kuroda for the pinfall victory. Although the friendship between H and Mr. Gannosuke was very high, Masato Tanaka would make it very clear to reporters that he was disgusted that H would become friends with Gannosuke after all that Gannosuke had done to him over the years.

December 3, 1999 in Nagoya, H and Mr. Gannosuke would team with Masato Tanaka in a 6 man match against Kintaro Kanemura, Koji Nakagawa and Gedo. H would end up getting the pinfall over Gedo with an H Edge but after the match Masato Tanaka would walk out of the ring after the match while H and Gannosuke were celebrating obviously still disgusted in their new friendship.

December 11, 1999 at Korakuen Hall, Tetsuhiro Kuroda and Hisakatsu Oya would be granted a rematch for the WEW Tag Team Titles against H and Mr. Gannosuke, but the Tag Team Champions would be again too much for Kuroda and Oya as Gannosuke would finish Oya off with the Fire Thunder for the victory to retain the Tag Titles. The four would congratulate each other on a great performance, as Tetsuhiro Kuroda would announce that he will get a victory over H and Gannosuke with Masato Tanaka as his partner the next day.

December 12, 1999 at Korakuen Hall, Tetsuhiro Kuroda would team up with WEW World Champion Masato Tanaka to take on H and Mr. Gannosuke in a non title match, and again the team of H & Mr. Gannosuke would be too much for a set of former FMW Brass Knuckles Tag Team Champions as they would defeat Tanaka & Kuroda after H would debut his new finisher the "H Thunder" on Kuroda for the victory in a great match. As the four look to shake hands, Tanaka grabs the mic and trashes H for forgiving Gannosuke so easily after all the two had been through in years past,  and that H & Gannosuke were idiots and FMW is turning into a promotion for pussies with guys like them as Tag Team Champions. Tanaka would go and side with ECW's Balls Mahoney and Axl Rotten as they leave together while Kuroda shakes hands with H and Gannosuke and shows that he sides with them.

January 5, 2000 at Korakuen Hall, Kodo Fuyuki would return to FMW as the leader of the new ECW Japan faction with Kyoko Inoue, Pitbull # 1, and Balls Mahoney and defeat H, Mr. Gannosuke, Hisakatsu Oya, and Ricky Fuji in a bloody brawl after Fuyuki would pin Ricky with a lariat. Fuyuki would claim that Kyoko Inoue is the person he scouted in the group, and if anyone has a problem with that then bring it on. H would grab the mic and say that he'll run Fuyuki out of FMW again.

January 8, 2000 in Sendai, H would suffer an humiliating lost in a tag match with Mr. Gannosuke against Kodo Fuyuki and Kyoko Inoue as he would be pinned by  women's wrestler Kyoko Inoue after Balls Mahoney would interfere to setup the upset victory. This would make Kodo Fuyuki and Kyoko Inoue the number one contenders for the WEW Tag Team Titles as a result of their win.

February 18, 2000 in the Kawasaki Club Citta, H would get even with Balls Mahoney in a bloody Street Fight where H would become busted open and bleed all over during the match. Mr. Gannosuke would help keep Fuyuki and Kyoko Inoue from interfering as H would send Mahoney through a table and then finish him off with a 450 Fire Bird Splash. 

February 25, 2000 at Korakuen Hall, Kodo Fuyuki & Kyoko Inoue would defeat H & Mr. Gannosuke for the WEW Tag Team Titles after Chocoball Mukai who had told everyone he would pay his dues and train in the FMW Dojo before returning the ring would help turn on FMW and join with Fuyuki's ECW Japan. During all the confusion, Fuyuki would end up rolling Gannosuke up with the Samson Clutch for the three count and the victory to win the WEW Tag Titles from H & Mr. Gannosuke.

March 27, 2000 at Korakuen Hall, Mr. Gannosuke would be force to cancel for the tour and H would have to take over Gannosuke's spot in a WEW 6 Man Tag match where Team No Respect's Koji Nakagawa, Jado, and Gedo who would defeat H, Yoshinori Sasaki, and Naohiko Yamazaki when Jado would pin Yamazaki. H would then take on Kyoko Inoue, and control almost the entire match. Kyoko would still to kick out of many. In the main event, Masato Tanaka who had left FMW for ECW a few months earlier would return and run in and attack Tetsuhiro Kuroda. H would run in and Tanaka would attack him as well. That would give Fuyuki the idea that Tanaka was joining ECW Japan but Tanaka would knock Fuyuki out instead and claim that ECW Japan was and that he was representing the real ECW that would take over FMW.

April 3, 2000 at Zepp Sapporo, Fuyuki would state earlier in the week that if he did not win on April 3rd and 4th, he would retire for good from wrestling. On the first show, H would take on Kodo Fuyuki in a singles match, and H would end up losing after a fan of Chocoball Mukai's would interfere to help Fuyuki get the pinfall over H. 

April 4, 2000 at the Zepp Sapporo, in a Come out and Play match, H would come out for the FMW's Team as their last hope for Fuyuki to finally retire, and H would easily put away Chocoball Mukai in sixteen seconds, and then go on to defeat Kyoko Inoue right after, and then defeat Kodo Fuyuki, causing the FMW team to win the match. Kodo Fuyuki, Kyoko Inoue and Chocoball Mukai would be kicked out of ECW Japan afterwards by Masato Tanaka for the loss. Fuyuki would later announce that he had announced he would retire if he lost on April Fools Day so the joke was on the fans and he would never retire.

April 11, 2000 at Korakuen Hall, H would team up with the returning Mr. Gannosuke to wrestle Masato Tanaka and Balls Mahoney. At the beginning of the match, Balls Mahoney would attack H while he is on the top rope and deliver a Nutcrackers Sweet. H would have to be carried off by Yoshinori Sasaki to the locker room. Mr. Gannosuke would have to go at it alone against Mahoney and Tanaka until Kodo Fuyuki would come out to even the odds and help Gannosuke through the match. Fuyuki would end up being laid out as well during the match though, and as it seems like Gannosuke is back to defending against himself, out of nowhere to a loud pop is heard as Eiji Ezaki returns as Hayabusa. Hayabusa would deliver his trademark Asai Moonsault with the crowd going crazy, but even with the return of Hayabusa, it would not be enough as Masato Tanaka would end up hitting the Diamond Dust on Hayabusa and getting the pinfall and his first ever pinfall over Eiji Ezaki in his career. Eiji Ezaki would go back as H after the match, but it would later be announced that Eiji Ezaki will return as Hayabusa for one more time on May 5th at the Komazawa Olympic Gym against Masato Tanaka. Ezaki would also send out an invitation on April 28th for Jinsei Shinzaki to appear at the show.

May 5, 2000 at the Komazawa Olympic Gym, Eiji Ezaki would return as Hayabusa in the main event against ECW Japan's Masato Tanaka.

Hayabusa also take a beating from Tanaka with a Powerbomb into a table and a Powerbomb to the outside onto a table, and even getting hit with the Awesome Bomb and the Roaring Elbow, as well as the Diamond Dust. Hayabusa would eventually manage to put Tanaka away with the H Thunder for the win. After the match, Jinsei Shinzaki would just quietly walk off. Hayabusa would take off his mask and demand a challenge for Kodo Fuyuki's WEW World Title. 

May 28, 2000 at Korakuen Hall, the new WEW World Champion Kodo Fuyuki would referee a three way dance between H and his friends Mr. Gannosuke and Tetsuhiro Kuroda to see who would become the number one contender for the WEW World Title. Gannosuke who had suffered a leg injury earlier in the month, would walk to the ring on crutches. H and Kuroda would wrestle the majority of the match as Gannosuke would spend the majority of the time watching the match and sometimes helping either H or Kuroda double team the other. Kuroda would begin to get frustrated at Gannosuke and begin kicking and attacking the cast on his injured leg. H would take this as an opportunity to try and rollup Kuroda for the win as Kodo Fuyuki would do an extreme fast count but only get a two. H and Kuroda would then begin trading off pinfall attempts as Kodo Fuyuki would begin giving very fast counts until H would deliver a hurricanrana on Kuroda for the very fast 3 count for the elimination. But as H would get up from pinning Kuroda, Gannosuke would go over to the corner, and grab his crutch and smash it over H's back with Gannosuke covering H and Fuyuki jumping on Gannosuke's back to make sure to get the three count for the Gannosuke victory. H would grab the mic as Fuyuki and Gannosuke would become all smiles, as H would begin screaming that this decision better not stand with such a biased referee. FMW President Shoichi Arai would come out with Kyoko Inoue, Koji Nakagawa, and Chocoball Mukai and grabs the mic and says that the referee decision is final and says maybe H should concentrate less on being such an egotistical bastard and learn how to win a match every once in awhile which causes H to go right after Arai, but would be attacked by friends Hideki Hosaka & Yoshinori Sasaki as Mr. Gannosuke and others would begin beating on H and Tetsuhiro Kuroda. Hosaka & Sasaki would hold H up as Fuyuki would claim this new group of wrestlers have formed the new Fuyuki Army and would go over and slaps H in the face, followed by a slap from Shoichi Arai. That slap from Arai would upset H enough to manage to pull away from Hosaka and Sasaki and go right after Arai. Hisakatsu Oya, Naohiko Yamazaki, Flying Kid Ichihara and Ricky Fuji would run into the ring to help out H and Kuroda. Ricky would quickly over after Arai after not trusting Arai in the first place because of what had happened last August and would throw Arai down and along with Oya begin choking Arai out as all of New Fuyuki Army grab him and manage to retreat. Arai backstage would explains how Ricky Fuji had just made the worst mistake of his life.

May 30, 2000 in Kanawa, Koji Nakagawa who had turned on Team No Respect on May 28th at Korakuen Hall and joined the New Fuyuki Army would debut his new gimmick after the name of a legendary thief in Japan named GOEMON. During the match, H would hurt his knee causing him to miss a couple of house shows.

June 6, 2000 in Fukushima, Ricky Fuji who would be signing autographs at a souvenir stand, would end up being attacked and kidnapped. The new Fuyuki Army would come over and attack Ricky and quickly tie him up and throw him into their fan and take off with him. The new Fuyuki Army would throw Ricky into a basement where they throw him some grub and begin taking pictures of Ricky all tied up as Fuyuki would announce that they will blow up Ricky Fuji if Hand his partner are not successful against himself and GOEMON at the June 16th Korakuen Hall show. H would announce several days afterwards that his upcoming partner for June 16th at Korakuen Hall would be "Hayabusa."

June 16, 2000 at Korakuen Hall, through out the entire show, Mr. Gannosuke would be shown with a tied up Ricky Fuji as he begins mocking the tied up Ricky, and begins to get ready to explode Ricky once Fuyuki and GOEMON win the match. H comes out as the Darkside of H to do battle with Kodo Fuyuki and GOEMON without Hayabusa as his partner, and as a result H would be double teamed throughout the entire match and end up as a bloody mess until Genichiro Tenryu would come out Hayabusa mask and costume to help save H. Tenryu would quickly knock GOEMON out with a chair and begin taking out Fuyuki and delivering a Powerbomb to set up H hitting a 450 Fire Bird Splash on Fuyuki for the victory. While H is celebrating the win and Tenryu is leaving the ring, the big screen would show a huge explosion take place as H and the crowd had just realized the explosion had to do with Ricky Fuji being kidnapped. The crowd would begin chanting "Sexy Storm" as H would run out of the of the building to help his friend.

June 21, 2000 at Korakuen Hall, Mr. Gannosuke would come out and announce that he didn't have the guts to actually explode Ricky, as he took off with Ricky before the explosion took place. GOEMON would come out and begin arguing at Gannosuke that he didn't get the job done and that Ricky Fuji is still alive as a result.. H would be scheduled to team up with Hayabusa, Tetsuhiro Kuroda, and a mystery partner against Shin Fuyuki Army's Kodo Fuyuki, Mr. Gannosuke, GOEMON, and Kyoko Inoue. The mystery partner turns out to be Ricky Fuji who goes right after GOEMON and Mr. Gannosuke while Hayabusa and Fuyuki go at it, as Hayabusa pulls off his mask to finally reveal Genichiro Tenryu who again lays out Fuyuki for the Firebird Splash by H on Fuyuki for the win.  

July 13, 2000 at Korakuen Hall, Eiji Ezaki would face off against his recent partner in Genichiro Tenryu in the main event of Tenryu's WAR promotion. This time though, it would be Ezaki in the Hayabusa costume instead of Tenryu. Hayabusa would return using all his Hayabusa signature moves, but would end being defeated in a singles match as Hayabusa for the first time since February 21, 1999 against Mr. Gannosuke when Tenryu would deliver a Powerbomb on Hayabusa for the win. The reaction towards Hayabusa over H would become way too noticeable as this match showed the H gimmick was on its last legs. 

July 22, 2000 at the Messe Wing, H & Tetsuhiro Kuroda would defeat The Samoans after H would nail Fatu with the H Edge for the win. After the match, H would get on the microphone and announce that this would be his last match as H and starting the next day he would be going back as Hayabusa officially for good.

July 23, 2000 at the Differ Ariake, Eiji Ezaki would become Hayabusa permanently and is given his WEW World Title shot after pinning Fuyuki at the June 16th Korakuen Hall tag match. But he would have defeat all 10 members of Shin Fuyuki-gun to win the WEW title. H would quickly put away Chocoball Mukai in seconds, and then put away new Shin Fuyuki-gun member Flying Kid Ichihara who would be on crutches in seconds as well, and then quickly defeat Shin Fuyuki-gun members Kintaro Kanemura, Yoshinori Sasaki, Hideki Hosaka, Kyoko Inoue and GOEMON in minutes, as well as knocking out Mr. Gannosuke and causing him to not even be able to compete before the bell rings for the match to start. Kodo Fuyuki then would come out and is quickly attacked by Hayabusa. Fuyuki would have all members of his group throw Hayabusa into the crowd and begin to beating him down with chairs to make it an easy win for Fuyuki, but as Fuyuki would begin to attempt a Charging Lariat on Hayabusa, Masato Tanaka would come back from his near three month absence and lay out Fuyuki with a Roaring Elbow as Tanaka would return to Team FMW.  Hayabusa would then try to put away Fuyuki, but he would go up to the top rope for a 450 Fire Bird Splash but Jinsei Shinzaki would come out and attack Hayabusa. Shinzaki would deliver a Praying Powerbomb before leaving. Fuyuki would then finish the job by delivering the Charging Lariat and nailing Hayabusa with it to score the victory and retain his WEW World Title.

July 28, 2000 at Korakuen Hall, Hayabusa would team up with the returning Masato Tanaka as well as Hisakatsu Oya against Kodo Fuyuki & Jinsei Shinzaki & Mr. Gannosuke. Shinzaki & Gannosuke would beat on Hayabusa throughout the whole match and mock him as they do every key Hayabusa and Shinzaki tag team spot on Hayabusa, as well as both of them hitting a Praying Powerbombs on Hayabusa. But as Gannosuke grew more and more confidence with teaming with his former hated rival, the more he was surprised when he attempted to throw Shinzaki into the corner to hit Hayabusa, but was instead swung the other side of the ring and then hit with a flying backwards kick to the head and then hit again with flying kick to the head, this time by both Hayabusa & Shinzaki as the crowd began to go nuts that Hayabusa & Shinzaki were back together as friends. Shinzaki then would hit Gannosuke with a Praying Powerbomb and was followed by with a 450 Firebird Splash from Hayabusa for the pinfall and victory over Mr. Gannosuke.

August 20, 2000 at the Tokyo Differ Ariake, Hayabusa would team up with Tetsuhiro Kuroda amd Hisakatsu Oya to face Mr. Gannosuke, Kintaro Kanemura, and GOEMON in a match where the losing team would have to take pies to the face by the winning team. GOEMON would end up getting the pinfall over Kuroda with the Gannosuke Clutch. Hayabusa, Kuroda, and Oya would all end up being force to take pie shots to the face, and then the fans would be allowed to come to the ring, and throw pies in the face of Hayabusa, Kuroda, and Oya.

August 28, 2000 at Korakuen Hall, Jinsei Shinzaki would get stuck in traffic and would be  unable to participate in his match with Masato Tanaka against Kintaro Kanemura and GOEMON, so Japanese Independent wrestler Onryo would replace him in his FMW debut but would fall victim to Kanemura's Thunder Fire Power Bomb for the lost. Seconds after the match would end, Shinzaki would finally make it to the arena and quickly run to the ring as quick as he could, but would be ambushed by Gannosuke, Kanemura, and GOEMON and be triple teamed and receive a bloody beat down before Hayabusa would run out to make the save for his friend. Hayabusa would quickly knock out Kanemura and GOEMON. Hayabusa would then go after Mr. Gannosuke for their scheduled main event match for the right to have Hayabusa get another shot at Kodo Fuyuki's WEW World Championship Title. Gannosuke would have the early advantage through the match as Kanemura and GOEMON would interfere throughout the match. Just when it would seem like Hayabusa would be getting some offense started, Kodo Fuyuki would come out and help on the outside interference, including a Triple Team Powerbomb off the top rope. Gannosuke would then hit a picture perfect Thunder Fire, but still only gets a two. Gannosuke would then pick up Hayabusa as Kanemura would grab a chair and climb the top rope when Shinzaki run back out and send Kanemura flying off the top rope. This would distract Gannosuke and allow Hayabusa to hit him with a reverse flying kick to the head. Hayabusa would then pick Gannosuke up and hold him to allow  Shinzaki to deliver a Praying shoulder block off the top rope. Shinzaki would then knock down GOEMON, and then hit a super kick to the head on Fuyuki sending him out of the ring. Hayabusa and Shinzaki would hit some of their signature tag team moves before Hayabusa would pick Gannosuke up and hit him with a H Thunder for the three count victory over his former best friend.

Hayabusa would travel to Roanoke, Virginia on September 12, 2000 for WCW where through Johnny Ace he would be booked for the WCW World Wide tapings earlier in the show for photos to be taken for the Japanese magazines. Hayabusa would meet up with his former friend The Gladiator while there as well as meet others for the first time like Kevin Nash and Vince Russo. Hayabusa's scheduled opponent would be The Frog but at the last moment the match would be scrapped as someone in WCW would decide it was pointless to have a match with an outsider that nobody knows about being put in a match on TV even though it was just World Wide. Hayabusa would end up hanging out with Keiji Muto that night after the show and the two would decide to announce that they would be forming a Dream Tag Team of The Great Muta and Hayabusa for the January 4, 2001 New Japan Tokyo Dome show. 

September 21, 2000 at the Sapporo Green Dome, the 15,000 Volt Thunderbolt Cage Death Match would start as Kodo Fuyuki would throw his jacket at the cage to set off a huge explosion as the bell would ring to stun Hayabusa, and set up Fuyuki to hit a Charging Lariat on Hayabusa right away to try and steal the win from Hayabusa in a matter of seconds. But Hayabusa would manage to quickly kick out. Both Hayabusa and Fuyuki would manage to throw one other into the cage setting off huge explosions until they both end up sending each other to the cage setting off another huge explosion which would knock out Fuyuki. Hayabusa smelling the end was near would go for the H Edge, but Fuyuki would kick out of, causing Hayabusa to deliver a 450 Fire Bird Splash on Fuyuki for the win in the Thunderbolt Cage to become the number one contender for the WEW World Championship once again while Fuyuki would be rushed into an ambulance and taken to a Sapporo hospital from the all the pain the explosions that he had suffered.

September 26, 2000 at Korakuen Hall, Hayabusa would prepare to do battle against Kodo Fuyuki in the first ever Japanese sixty minute Iron Man match. The two go to the mat to start things off slowly in the first few minutes, but then at the twenty minute mark begin trying to finish each other one off with signature moves before Fuyuki would get the first win with a Charging Lariat. Fuyuki smelling blood and seeing how worn out and tired Hayabusa already was, would go for another Charging Lariat and gets another pinfall over Hayabusa minutes later. Just a few minutes later after that, Fuyuki would begin to get tired and begin to make a few mistakes causing Hayabusa to get the offense and allowing Hayabusa to get his first pinfall as he would hit the H Thunder on Fuyuki to make 2-1 Fuyuki in the lead. Fuyuki would come back minutes later and unmask Hayabusa and then cut up Hayabusa's forehead with a piece of a table outside the ring. Fuyuki would come back in the ring to make it as the referee begins to count them both out. Fuyuki would wait for the tired Hayabusa to attempt to come back in the ring, and then as Hayabusa would slowly climb up to the apron, Fuyuki would hit a Charging Lariat sending Hayabusa back to the floor and allow the referee to count Hayabusa out and give Fuyuki a 3-1advantage. 

Fuyuki would bring Hayabusa back in the ring, and hit a supplex on Hayabusa who lands on his feet and attempts to hit a palm strike on Fuyuki, but Fuyuki would grab Hayabusa by the arms and attempt another supplex but Hayabusa would manage to counter and roll Fuyuki up with  Fuyuki's own Samson Clutch for the three count and the cut down on Fuyuki's lead to 3-2. Fuyuki would quickly take Hayabusa down after that and then put Hayabusa in a Fuyuki Special submission maneuver with Hayabusa grabbing the ropes to break the submission hold. Just as Fuyuki would let go, and begin to pick up Hayabusa, out of nowhere Hayabusa would spit red mist into Fuyuki's face blinding him, as Hayabusa would hit a spinning heel kick and then set Fuyuki up next to the turnbuckle for a 450 Firebird Splash for the pinfall to tie everything up with about 15 minutes to go in the hour. 

The tired two would begin trading signature finishing moves before Fuyuki would bring Hayabusa to outside where they begin to brawl into the crowd as Fuyuki would powerbomb Hayabusa through the FMW announcing table. Fuyuki then would quickly throw Hayabusa back in the ring, but still can only manage to get a two count. Both men out of breath would try everything they had left for the last 10 minutes, as Hayabusa would even attempt a Charging Lariat of his own, but Fuyuki would manage to block it. With a few minutes left, Fuyuki would begin several Charging Lariats out of desperation, but Hayabusa would manage to kick out of everyone. With thirty seconds left, Fuyuki would attempt a powerbomb but Hayabusa would manage to block it with Fuyuki would turning it into a sunset flip for one last chance at a victory. Hayabusa would manage to kick out and turns over for a pinfall attempt at his own, but still only get a two. With only 10 seconds left, Hayabusa would get up and hit an H Edge on Fuyuki and with only seconds left at one last chance at the pinfall, but Fuyuki would kick out at two. The 60 minute time limit would expire, as both wrestlers wrestled to a draw. After the match, as they both lay on the mat to catch their breath. They both would get up, shake each others hand and hug. Hayabusa would grab the mic and ask for one more chance, which Fuyuki would agree to at the November 12, 2000 Yokohama Bunka Gym show. Hayabusa would later state that the match was the hardest match of his career.

October 10, 2000 at the Hakata Star Lanes, in a rematch from the May 27, 1998 at the Hakata Star Lanes, Hayabusa would team up with Masato Tanaka against Kodo Fuyuki and Kintaro Kanemura. Hayabusa and Tanaka would get their long awaited revenge against the former New Footloose as Hayabusa would pin Kanemura with the 450 Firebird Splash. After the match, Hayabusa would the mic and announce because of both injuries that he has received to his arms throughout the past five and half years with all the highflying, he will need surgery on both arms which will cause him to be out of action for 6 months after the November 12th Yokohama Bunka Gym show against Fuyuki, he announced he would return at the FMW May 5, 2001 Kawasaki Stadium show. This would cause the cancellation of the Hayabusa and The Great Muta tag team at the New Japan Tokyo Dome show for January 4th. 

October 29, 2000 at Korakuen Hall, Hayabusa would team up with Onryo to do battle against Kodo Fuyuki and GOEMON in the main event.

Fuyuki would spend a majority of the match taking it to Hayabusa on the mat going after Hayabusa's injured arms. Hayabusa would counter by hitting Fuyuki with all his key highflying moves including the Asai Moonsault, but a missed Phoenix Splash once again signals the end for Hayabusa as Fuyuki come back with several Charging Lariats before putting away Hayabusa to end their feud. Fuyuki would shake hands with Hayabusa and take off with his belts as Hayabusa would say goodbye to the fans for the time being. But as Hayabusa would be shaking the hands of the crowd, Tetsuhiro Kuroda who had been in the ring since Fuyuki won the match would go over to Hayabusa in the middle of the ring to shake his hand and then out of nowhere Kuroda would kick Hayabusa in the gut and hit Hayabusa with his Technan Buster DDT. Kuroda would grab the mic and claim that he doesn't care how long Hayabusa will be out, and that he will be the new ace of the promotion of FMW. Kuroda would leave to a  loud chant of booing by the fans as Hayabusa would lay in the middle of the ring completely knocked out, before the new FMW Dojo students run in to the ring and pick up Hayabusa and help him to the back.

November 22, 2000, Eiji Ezaki would have a successful double elbow surgery to heal both his injured arms after the pain they had started to cause him after years of doing highflying maneuvers.

December 20, 2000 at Korakuen Hall, Hayabusa would return to an event for the first time since the double arm reconstructive surgery and watch Kodo Fuyuki, Tetsuhiro Kuroda, and Kintaro Kanemura take on Masato Tanaka, Jado, and Gedo in a Barbed wire Street Fight Death Match, also doing color commentating is Masashi Honda as Mr. Gannosuke had been retired from wrestling after a lost to Tetsuhiro Kuroda on November 12th at the Yokohama Bunka Gym. After Kuroda would get pinfall victory over Jado with the Technan Buster DDT, he would call Hayabusa to the ring who had been sitting at ringside watching the match. Kuroda would begin to mock Hayabusa and make fun of him, as well as screaming "CHICKEN! CHICKEN!" as Hayabusa would rip off his mask and head to the ring before Honda would come to the ring to hold Ezaki back as Kuroda would continue to mock the both of them as Ezaki and Honda would leave. 

February 6, 2001 at Korakuen Hall, Hayabusa would make his second appearance since the surgery. Along with The Masked Sumo who was FMW's ring announcer Nakamura in a mask and attempting to wrestle would make his FMW debut earlier in the show would come out to confront Kuroda after the whole December 20th Korakuen incident. The Masked Sumo would turn on Hayabusa and the two would attack Hayabusa that would result in Kuroda grabbing a folding chair and pillmanizing one of Hayabusa's injured arms. As Team Kuroda would walk off celebrating their accomplishments and left the injured Hayabusa laying in the ring, all of a sudden the Michinoku Pro theme played and out came The Great Sasuke who went to the ring and helped Hayabusa up. Hayabusa would stare at Sasuke with an intense look but would end up walking out together with him. 

February 23, 2001 at Korakuen Hall, Tetsuhiro Kuroda & Mammoth Sasaki would take on Kodo Fuyuki & The Great Sasuke. Kuroda would end up with the advantage on Sasuke during the match, when all of a sudden Hayabusa would run out all decked out in his Hayabusa uniform to the ring and attack Kuroda as well as all the members of Team Kuroda sitting at ringside distracting Kuroda and allowing Sasuke to get the rollup pinfall victory on Kuroda as a result.

April 1, 2001 at Korakuen Hall, Shoichi Arai would agree to reinstate Mr. Gannosuke back into FMW earlier in the show. In the Main Event, Hayabusa would come out to sit down to watch Kodo Fuyuki put up his WEW World Title on the line against Tetsuhiro Kuroda, during the match Fuyuki sets Kuroda for Fuyuki with the Muscle Buster when all of a sudden Gannosuke's music plays and out comes Gannosuke with a chair who charges the ring and begins swinging it at Fuyuki. Kuroda would get up and notice what Gannosuke was doing and charges right at him eye to eye before both of them notice Fuyuki getting up and both hitting him with a Double Drop kick. Hayabusa would get up and attack Gannosuke as Fuyuki would get back up and charge right after Kuroda, but Kuroda would block the clothesline and turn it into the Gannosuke Clutch for the victory to win the WEW World Title. Kuroda and Gannosuke then would begin a double team beat down on Hayabusa as The Great Sasuke would run out to help out Hayabusa. Sasuke would clear the ring of Kuroda, Gannosuke, and the rest of Team Kuroda and help get Hayabusa out of the ring. Hayabusa would grab the mic and issue a challenge for their upcoming Kawasaki Stadium match in a tag team match between Hayabusa and Great Sasuke against Tetsuhiro Kuroda and Mr. Gannosuke.

April 15, 2001 at Korakuen Hall, Kodo Fuyuki would announce main event match for Kawasaki Stadium as a Exploding Octagon Cage Death Match between Hayabusa and The Great Sasuke against Tetsuhiro Kuroda and Mr. Gannosuke. The beginning of the show would show Hayabusa walking to the building talking to the camera man, when out of nowhere a motorcycle would come from behind running over Hayabusa's foot which would knock him and the camera man down. Later in the show, Team Kuroda members Tetsuhiro Kuroda, Mr. Gannosuke, and Mammoth Sasaki would get the victory over The Great Sasuke, GOEMON, and Onryo when Kuroda would nail Onryo with his Technan Buster. Team Kuroda would then begin beating down on Sasuke as Hayabusa's music would begin to play, but instead of Hayabusa coming out, it would be Shinjuku Shark and Azusa Kudo holding an injured Hayabusa and throwing him in the ring to have Kuroda and Gannosuke beat down on Hayabusa well. Gannosuke would end up tearing off Sasuke's mask and putting it on himself as the two would mock the injured and beaten down Hayabusa and The Great Sasuke leading up to their Kawasaki Stadium match.

Shoichi Arai, Tetsuhiro Kuroda, Hisakatsu Oya, GOEMON, Onryo, Ricky Fuji, and the young FMW wrestlers would come in to the ring due to the tragic accident. Kintaro Kanemura would come to the ring to get Mammoth out of the ring as Mammoth would finally be wised up to what had just happened. A stretcher would be rushed to the ring as Hayabusa would realize that this was the main event and did not want to have the fans go home disappointed and would ask for the mic to address the fans. Hayabusa would state "All of you, I'm truly sorry. It probably might take a long to come back, but, I want to come back. I think I want to come back, so, so please don't abandon FMW that I loved at the risk of my life." Shoichi Arai would ask the fans to clear the building to allow the ambulance to come into Korakuen Hall. Television cameras would then stop filming as paramedics would rush to Korakuen Hall and place him on Ezaki on a stretcher and would take him to Nihon University in Tokyo. Ezaki would stay conscious the whole time and would vividly remember the lights of Korakuen Hall shining down on him but he would enter the hospital feeling he was not going to make it out alive and begin crying as hard as possible with one of the teachers at the University asking him to calm down with the doctors stabilizing him and Ezaki falling asleep immediately . Shoichi Arai and Ezaki's wife would be the only ones allowed to visit him while in the hospital the day of the accident. 

Ezaki would be taken to the ICU where he would be told by a doctor that he had cracked his Vertebrae 4 and 5 which resulted in paralysis and he would not be able to feel anything from his head down as a result. Ezaki would ask the doctor when would a full recovery be expected with the doctor giving him the news that he if he did not regain any feeling in his body after three months than he could possibly be bed ridden for the rest of his life. This would send Ezaki into a mental shock as he was a pro wrestler someone that had just been flying around the ring a couple of hours earlier and now there was a possibility that he would be bed ridden the rest of his life. 

All he could think about was wanting to die. He was humiliated and disgraced by needing a diaper and having a nurse change him. He looked out the window and wish he could physically get up just so he can jump out of it and fall to his death. 

Ezaki would be told that visiting hours would be one hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon and only family would be allowed in which would allow him to see his two and four year old daughters. Ezaki would also end up seeing two familiar faces in Mr. Gannosuke and GOEMON show up one day. Ezaki would ask them how they were able to get in as family were the only ones allowed in. Gannosuke would tell him that they told the hospital that they were Ezaki's cousins with Ezaki shocked that the hospital workers would actually buy that story. 

Problems would begin to occur while just laying in the hospital filled with germs without being able to move. The first would be Kidney failure. He would also drop from his wrestling weight of 237 pounds down to eventually 127 pounds. 

Then Ezaki's body would become constantly dangerously hot as he would experience a deadly fever due to germs getting into the valve of his heart. The doctors would be forced to concentrate on it over his paralysis from the neck down. 

Many drugs would be given to Eiji Ezaki to help his fever which would cause him to hallucinate and reality and dreams would become one to him. The only thing he had in his hospital room was a radio and thus would believe things were happening like Harry Potter had been kidnapped by North Korea.

November 5, 2001at Korakuen Hall, the teams of Hayabusa and Tetsuhiro Kuroda and Hayabusa, Kuroda, and GOEMON would be stripped of the WEW Tag Team Titles and WEW 6 Man Tag Team Titles. Tomokazu Morita would brought in under the new name of Garuda to replace Hayabusa while Hayabusa remains in critical condition fighting for his life. Mr. Gannosuke would address the fans at the show stating that Hayabusa loved FMW, and that Hayabusa would want you to continue to support FMW, and that he believes in his heart that Hayabusa will return one day and fly again which would garner loud Gannosuke chants from the FMW loyalists.

December 29, 2001 in Tokyo, Eiji Ezaki would have heart surgery to get rid of the germs that had gone into his heart, as there was no other way to get rid of them and get rid of his high fever with Ezaki's life being put at risk if the surgery were not a success. The surgery would be a success and very soon after, Ezaki's fever would drop down. Ezaki would wake up from the surgery hours later alone in the dark in the ICU not knowing what was going on as his body was feeling extreme coldness instead of hotness. For the first time in a long time his thoughts were not scrambled dreams. The fever would finally be gone as Ezaki would be transported to the Murayama Hospital in Tokyo for rehabilitation where over two months past the accident Ezaki would finally be able to work on being able to walk once again, although a huge scar would remain down Ezaki's chest from the heart surgery. The three month stay at the Nihon University would result close to a $5 million Yen bill. 

Although Ezaki before going into surgery had wanted it to fail so that he could just die and be put out of his misery, once the surgery ended up being a success and his fever had gone down, he would become very glad that he was still alive. He would also begin to have feeling back in a finger giving him the sign that he would not have to be bed ridden the rest of his life like he had feared.

February 11, 2004 at Korakuen Hall, fans would attend believing that the show would be the last WMF show. Kensuke Sasaki would defeat Mr. Gannosuke in the main event of the show and afterwards, Gannosuke would inform the crowd that this would become the end of Chapter 1 of WMF, but that Chapter 2 of WMF will hopefully start in 6 months. Afterwards, Gannosuke would begin crying backstage due to the recent problems with WMF's finances. Hayabusa would announce that he would be stepping down as WMF Commissioner and both he and GOEMON would no longer be officially part of the WMF roster due to WMF not being able to pay for Hayabusa in a non wrestling role because of the lack of money. Hayabusa would instead would focus on becoming a singer.

Hayabusa would group himself with Japanese Guitarist Masahiko, and focus a majority on becoming a singer. Hayabusa's CD would be released on May 4th and announce that his first concert entitled "Triple Fight" on June 11, 2004 with Hayabusa singing, Masahiko playing the guitar, and GOEMON participating in the show while videos of Hayabusa's career being played in the background.

Although the show would not be the success due to repeated changing of the card, and poor weather with it being cold and windy, it would still mean something to Hayabusa as it was possibly the last time a May 5th show would be held at Kawasaki Stadium, the building that saw some of Hayabusa's biggest matches of his career.

June 11, 2004 in Sapporo, Hayabusa would hold his first concert entitled "Triple Fight" with Masahiko & GOEMON participating in the concert while Hayabusa would sing his songs. The show would overall be a success, and another show would soon booked for "Triple Threat II". It would be a tough month for Hayabusa personally though as he would go through a divorce with his wife and the mother of his two children. Hayabusa's injury of always needing help and being home would become too much of a burden on his wife with her already working as a nurse and raising two children. The divorce would be official, although Hayabusa's love for his wife would never go away, and he would still be in constant touch with his wife and children. The stress of everything in his life, he finds himself crying alone by himself once a week.

November 29, 2005 at the Osaka Tsukamoto Live house, Hayabusa's Triple Fight concert would be a way for many of Hayabusa's biggest fans to support Hayabusa for his 37th birthday. The fans would sing to Hayabusa themselves as they would sing Happy Birthday to their hero.

He would also state that his original diagnosis for the injury was that he was going to be bed ridden for the rest of his life so even though he is restricted in things he is capable of doing that things could be so much worse. Although its been ten years since the injury he thinks of it as it has just just been 10 years and that he is still working on his goal of coming out to the ring in his full Hayabusa costume and being introduced as Hayabusa one last time.

One of the coolest moments of my twenty years as a fan of wrestling was getting to meet and talk with Eiji Ezaki on January 4, 2008. I had the privileged of having lunch with him at the Tokyo Dome Sizzler. It was an incredible day getting to talk to, ask questions, and make the man that I have followed for years laugh. Fumi Saito who had helped Hayabusa with translation during his trip to America in 2006 was there to help with translation again, but I really felt very proud that I never needed the translation help to talk with Hayabusa like everyone else did. After the lunch, we went outside to take pictures right outside Korakuen Hall. After putting on the mask, many fans recognized him and a small crowd gathered around us taking pictures of Hayabusa with their cell phones. It was definitely a day I will never forget. Since then I was able to get in contact with Hayabusa online and send him a link to this Biography of him that he ended up posting a link on his own Blog and has since used pictures from here for his blog.

When Hayabusa is not working on his music or holding his concerts, he spends much of his free time reading about paralysis and the struggles that people go through life with it. He also wants to work on nursing medical treatment for handicapped people. Although so much has happened to his life since October 22, 2001 when the tragic accident took place, he still tries to stay as strong as possible, and still states that he will be able to get into the Hayabusa costume one more time in the ring because that is what he promised the fans. Hayabusa will always stay positive no matter what, and even states himself that he has no regrets about anything.
