What is Pro-Wrestling
Pro-Wrestling is a game for the NES that was released in 1986. It was based on the entertainment show pro-wrestling like WWF and WCW at the time. The goal of the game was to either 1. beat your opponent enough so that you can pin him, 2. Keep him out of the ring for more than 20 seconds, 3. Time runs out and you have greater health than him. It was the first game to incorporate an active referee.
Though it maybe generally unknown now in Nintendo Power Magazine it placed 172 out of 200 top Nintendo games of all time. During its time it was ranked the #1 NES game for some time.
It's "A WINNER IS YOU!" quote has become a popular meme for retro gamers. The quote has also been referenced in Pokemon games and Mario games.
The game even got its own collection of Action Figures
Who is Fighter Hayabusa?
Fighter is the main character of the game Pro-Wrestling. His nickname is "The Invicible Warrior" and has one of the most unique special moves in the game (the Back Brain Kick). He is based off of legendary Pro-Wrestler Antonio Inoki (the guy who faught Muhammad Ali in one of the earliest sanctioned MMA fights).
Why should he be in Smash 4?
1. A great WTF character
2. Retro Revival (similar to Pit)
3. Has a lot of moveset potential
4. Can be a unique grappling character (similar to Zangief in Street Fighter)
[collapse=Style]
Fighter is going to be a very flashy style fighter shown in pro-wrestling and anime. In the American version he will have a heavy Japanese accent and will speak in somewhat “Engrish” manner. In the Japanese version he will be more wrestler stereotype.

Introduction: A small set of robs appear in the background and Fighter flips over them into the stage.

Taunt 2: Points to the side and says, “Go Fight!” (Reference to the GO FIGHT! Logo on the ring)
Taunt 3: Faces the camera waving his arms, “Challenger Next Match”
Victory 1: Stands square to the camera and throws both arms up and yells in victory (reference to what he does when he wins a match)
Victory 2: Has a belt around his waist and he folds his arms. (Reference to when you win the V.W.A belt)
Victory 3: Has a belt around the waist and one in his arms which he lifts in the air. (Reference to when you beat Great Puma)
Lost: Is hunched over crying. (Reference to when you lose)

Standing

Up Smash: Unknown
Aerials
Forward A: Flying Splash

Forward Throw: Body Slam (You will grab your opponent, lift them off the ground, flip them around, and slam them back down on the mat on their back.)
Back Throw: Hammer Toss (Throws the opponent behind them horizontally)
Down Throw: Piledriver (When you execute a Piledriver, you will flip the opponent upside down and drop to the floor, dropping the opponent on their head in the process.)

[/collapse]
[collapse=Special Moves]
Standard B (Back Brain Kick): Jumps up about head level and throws a round house to the person’s head.
Down B (Brain Buster): Reaches out to grab. Catches the opponent and wraps around there head. Lifts them up and falls backward dropping the opponent on their head.
Forward B (Manjigatame): Reaches out and catches them and pulls them in. He does the elaborate tie up that wrenches damage It can’t be broken if caught but has no knockback. Check 1:36 of the Inoki movie.
Up B (Flying Knee Drop): Leaps into the air and in an arch pattern lands with one knee.
Final Smash v1. (Super Back Brain Kick): Fighter grabs his opponent and goes into a cut scene. The background changes into a ring and Fighter throws his opponent unbelievably high into the air. As the person comes back down he jumps up and does his back brain kick as the person falling. The screen returns back to normal with the opponent flying to the side of where Fighter was facing.
Final Smash v2. (Back Brain Buster Kick): I like the alliteration. It would start the same way as v1 going into the cut scene. It would be combination of the Brain Buster and the Back Brain kick. The effects would be the same.
Another version would consist of his Forward B would be a grappling effect (similar to Bowser's) but he would have more variety of what he could do.

I'll add more stuff on moveset ideas and what not.
