There are two pretty good interviews that appeared online today. Kenny Omega is this week’s guest on the Art Of Wrestling podcast, hosted by the one and only Colt Cabana. The episode can be heard over at We Love Colt website and will also be available on iTunes tonight.
The other interview features Dick Togo and it was filmed during his recent trip to England. Togo talks about his retirement show in Japan, his time wrestling in Australia and Europe afterwards, his match with Fit Finlay and more. Unfortunately there is some heavy background noise at parts of the interview but hopefully it will not distract you too much. The interview is split into 4 videos and was done in Japanese but there is the option of English subtitles if you click on the CC section of each video. Credit goes to YujinWrestling for the interview. Enjoy.
This December, the Dramatic Pink Warrior of Union is on her way over to America. Cherry is the latest name announced to take part in a special series of shows hosted by CHIKARA Pro called JoshiMania. The shows will be CHIKARA’s love letter to joshi wrestling featuring such names as Manami Toyota, Aja Kong, Toshie Uemetsu, Commando Bolshoi and much more. Cherry is now the latest name announced for the shows taking place on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th of December, marking her first time competing in the USA.
Way, way back in 2009 Kota Ibushi travelled over to America as part of Team DDT to wrestle for Chikara Pro during their big King Of Trios weekend of shows. The biggest memory Ibushi left on fans was him winning the Rey De Voladores tournament. However, some of you may also remember the Youtube video of Ibushi meeting up with Louden Noxious from Kaiju Big Battel where Kota requested to enter the Danger Zone and have a battel with some of the notorious Kaiju. Hopes were raised and T-shirts were made to support the idea but nothing ever really came from it. When Ibushi returned to the USA for the debut EVOLVE show in January 2010, he paid a visit to Studio Kaiju along with Michael Nakazawa and Munenori Sawa (who had his own confrontation with some of the monsters, as can be seen here) but again it looked like the plan to bring him in for a Kaiju show just wasn’t going to happen. However, both parties still had a plan up their sleeves.
As you can see, Ibushi ended up writing a letter to the Kaiju Commissioner in hopes of getting to fight a Kaiju, any Kaiju. He could have fought side by side with The Heroes to battel the evil Dr. Cube and his henchmen, he could have fought an epic battel with Uchu Chu The Space Bug, he was even willing to step into the Danger Cage against the psychotic Kung Fun Chicken Noodle. Unfortunately due to the slight setback of the Commissioner being murdered and Dr. Cube taking over the company, Ibushi was informed that he would never get the chance to fight in Kaiju Big Battel. Disappointed but not losing hope, Ibushi journeyed over to Dr. Cube’s hideout to take matters into his own hands.
What happens next? Stay tuned to find out…
