Welcome back to the Best in the Worldcast~! Lawson and Corey discuss the recently departed Osamu Nishimura and his incredibly unique career. After some March Madness talk, the boys get serious once again about Nishimura’s approach to wrestling, what he represented in the wrestling landscape at large, and how he represents the last chain in the classic 70s style of work. For the Best in the Worlddraft, we draft five wrestlers to make a basketball starting five to play against each other.
