Career
In 1979, Goto joined a sumo stable, Kokonoe, but shortly afterwards he retired from sumo. Goto then joined All Japan Pro Wrestling in 1980 and moved to the US to pursue a career in wrestling.
In the 1980s, Goto wrestled mainly in the American southern states including Tennessee (CWA) and Florida (FCW), and sometimes wrestled as Ho Chi Winh, which was a gimmick based on the Vietnamese hero Ho Chi Minh, and married a female American wrestler named Despina Montagas.
Goto also wrestled in Puerto Rico around 1988.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“Work-family conflicts—the trade-offs of your money or your life, your job or your child—would not be forced upon women with such sanguine disregard if men experienced the same career stalls caused by the-buck-stops-here responsibility for children.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
“A black boxer’s career is the perfect metaphor for the career of a black male. Every day is like being in the gym, sparring with impersonal opponents as one faces the rudeness and hostility that a black male must confront in the United States, where he is the object of both fear and fascination.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“I seemed intent on making it as difficult for myself as possible to pursue my “male” career goal. I not only procrastinated endlessly, submitting my medical school application at the very last minute, but continued to crave a conventional female role even as I moved ahead with my “male” pursuits.”
—Margaret S. Mahler (1897–1985)
