The Pacific Rim Pro Wrestling Podcast is back. 

Fumi Saito talks about the late “Judo” Gene LeBell, a legend in combat sports, who also was the referee for the famous Ali/Inoki match in Japan. 

We go in-depth on the new IWGP Women’s Championship. Whose idea was it and who might be a good first champion? 

Fumi gives his thoughts on Ric Flair’s last match and Flair’s legacy in Japan. How does he compare to other NWA World Champions in Japan?

Plus, it’s tournament time in Japan: the G1, N1, King’s Road, the 5-Start GP and more. 

It’s another packed episode. Check it out below.
