Hayabusa was considered the heart and soul of FMW, and after his departure, the company slowly folded.
 
After his retirement Ezaki pursued a career as a singer. He promoted a new wrestling company called WMF (Wrestlings Marvelous Future). The name was chosen since, spelled backwards, the initials are FMW as an homage. He traveled to a few WWE events where he met old friends such as Sabu, Rob Van Dam, and Rey Mysterio backstage.
