Episode 16 - The Hulkamania Era Meets Japan (I): Check Out These Sexy Legs

Puro Pourri Podcast

It's about to come crashing down, and by gum I believe it's about to hurt inside. In the first of a two-parter, the hosts finally leave PRIDE behind and dive into an underappreciated but very interesting aspect of the Hulkamania era - what its biggest stars were getting up to in Japan. Just like his best friend's wife, you'll have to wait for the Hulkster to come, but in the meantime we've got four matches for your delectation, and along the way David, Daniel and George talk about the most hung man in European wrestling, call about a dozen things fash, and slaughter a particular sacred cow so thoroughly PETA's put a bounty on their heads. Tuck your chin, chill out, and listen in to that Good Ol' Triple P. Matches: Andre the Giant vs. Stan Hansen (NJPW, 23 September 1981) Jaguar Yokota (c) vs. Wendi Richter (WWWA Championship) (AJW, 5 October 1982) Bret Hart vs. Tiger Mask II (WWF/AJPW/NJPW, 13 April 1990) The Ultimate Warrior (c) vs. Ted DiBiase (WWF Championship) (WWF/AJPW/NJPW, 13 April 1990)
