Welcome to Those Days: A Michinoku Pro Retrospective!
Case (https://twitter.com/_inyourcase) and Mike (https://twitter.com/fujiiheya) lead off this episode discussing Michinoku Pro coming out of their first tour and Sasuke & Delfin’s complicated and deteriorating relationship with the ownership of Universal. Then, they discuss the elements leading to the collapse of Universal and try to give an updated interpretation of the promotion’s dying days. As Universal putters out, Michinoku has perhaps its first last stand, television pilots with local and Japanese cable networks, and the introductions of Jinsei Shinzaki, Gran Naniwa, SATO, Wellington Wilkins Jr & Super Boy. And it’s time for the Delfin Corps, the biggest show in the company’s history, and Great Sasuke vs Super Delfin matches for the UWA World Welterweight Title!
