Horst Hoffman ホースト・ホフマン

Probably the most dominant wrestler in Germany from the 1960s to 70s, Horst Hoffman won over 50 regional and national tournaments and held the German and European Heavyweight Championships multiple times before going abroad: working for Verne Gagne in the AWA teaming with Baron Von Raschke, doing 3 tours with IWE in Japan, and working 2 tournaments for Giant Baba in All Japan.

The Japanese called him "Emperor of Europe" and credited Hoffman with inventing the Bow and Arrow submission. His green tights also inspired Mitsuharu Misawa. Hoffman's wrestling was in a very polished European mat style, and his suplexes were high speed and high impact. His last appearance in Japan was in the inaugural Real World Tag League in 1977, where he formed a European "Dream Team" with Bill Robinson. Hoffman quietly retired from wrestling in 1978.

4 Attires (2 from the AJPW 1975 Open Championship League, 1 from the 1977 RTWL, 1 from AWA team w/ Raschke), full skills, parameters, moveset, & logic calibrated to work with other LEGENDS defaults from Spike/Human games past (and my other Showa Japan edits), takes advantage of expanded priority slots.
