Akebono + New Japan Pro-Wrestling

[( o Y o )]

Hopefully = Chad making the move to the puroresu scene after Dynamite, which he was evidentally there to promote last night, under the guise that the two events are being held in the same arena.

I must say, he looked extremely nervous while addresing the crowd. Not at all comfortable......and still balding due to stress. I wish him luck with his move if that is in fact what it is the first steps of.....

I`m not too sure if that is Bobby in the pic

He's a dude that as a comedian pretends to speak poor Japanese, mixing up words like muscle (kinniku) with getting kicked in the balls (kinkiri). Every Sunday him and two others have a segment on a show in Japan, usually doing some traditional in Japan being two foreigners screwing it up and saying embarrassing stuff. One day it was Judo, and Bobby threw some 4th degree blackbelt around ... raising some eyebrows. They then took him to Grabaka dogo (Kikuta`s) where he threw Kikuta around before finally tapping. He went to some sumo championships and beat the Jr Champ, went back to some famous Judo dojo and beat everyone other than the sensei. All without training (or I should say "known official training"). So, they called Royce Gracie over for a fight. He tapped Bobby in the second round but Bobby busted him open big time. Lots of blood. :-)

Oh, I think he's been training Judo at Kikuta's Dojo since like March. Took blackbelt i 4 months or something. Training kickboxing also.

That is correct Satan, and it WAS Bobby infact.

Pointing out the obvious? LOL

Either he is very talented, or he has a good background in judo/wrestling that they are not letting on about.
