Case (https://twitter.com/_inyourcase) and Mike (https://twitter.com/fujiiheya) lead off this episode discussing the earth-shattering 1993 Antonio Inoki Embezzlement Scandal and the dissolving of his relationship with Hisashi Shinma and the end of the Showa-era Post-War Economic Miracle. From there, Michinoku Pro enters the fall of 93 in a deeper relationship with Atsushi Onita’s FMW, the Indie World Junior Title tournament, Yonekawa becomes Yone Genjin and one of the biggest feuds in Michinoku Pro history kicks off between Super Delfin and SATO.
