Pacific Rim: Tom Magee in Japan

Fumi Saito and I are back with a whole host of topics on this week’s episode of the Pacific Rim podcast.

Before he wrestled Bret Hart in WWE, Tom Magee worked in All Japan Pro Wrestling. Fumi gives his first-hand account of the impression Magee left on him, plus Magee’s matches against Wajima and Chosu.

In addition, Fumi was at Stardom in Korakuen Hall as Arisa Hoshiki beat Momo Watanabe for the Wonder of Stardom title, the Tokyo Cyber Squad won the Six-Woman belts, and Bea Priestley successfully defended her title.

We also talk about the announcement of AEW being on TNT this fall, its impact in Japan, and what the future may hold. Asuka & Kairi Sane are now the Kabuki Warriors, and Fumi offers his thoughts on the name. We also answer your #AskFumi questions on the career of Jinsei Shinzaki, young lions abroad, and much more.
