Wrestling historian and author Patrick W. Reed returns to help us talk the history, context, details and legacy of Katsuyori Shibata and Tomohiro Ishii beating the piss out of each other on August 4, 2013.
PLUS: Classic G1, the rise of Ishii, RevPro, Stone Pitbull factoids, descriptions of fabulous violence, opposing wrestling philosophies, Unchained Melody, Lance Storm, the Royal Rumble, 3D, a phone call, TITTY MIST, Shibata lariat bumps, headbutts and the OTHER Shibata match on the list, Marty Asami: sick bastard, a rolling watermelon, Avatar and typhoons, Sami Callihan vs. Fit Finlay, and Kieran plugs more new stuff. Don’t worry, it’s not yet another podcast.
