Pacific Rim: Osamu Nishimura memories, Mildred Burke’s influence in Japan

Pacific Rim: Osamu Nishimura memories, Mildred Burke’s influence in Japan

On a new Pacific Rim, Fumi Saito and I talk about his friend, the late Osamu Nishimura, who started in NJPW’s all-star class of 1991, wrestled all over the world in more places than you realize, and had a unique deal with NJPW.

Fumi went to Nishimura’s wake and talks about all the legendary wrestlers who respected and were influenced by Nishimura.

With “Queen of the Ring” in theaters, Fumi and I also talk about Mildred Burke’s influence in Japan and how she helped to create the WWWA World Championship.

Plus, we chat Hirooki Goto, Tam Nakano and Saya Kamitani.
