Daboru-daboru-ehu (WWF)

Hit up the DRAGON'S GATE Pro-Wrestling match this past Saturday in Fukui City. Second time. Would love to expound at length on the differences between it and WWE in the US. Limited by two factors: a) Never been to WWE match and b) there wasn't a whole lot of dfference I could see. But there are quite a bit more cheesy costumes. Teams include BLOOD CONNECTION, THE ITALIAN CONNECTION, DoFIXER, and FINAL M2K. Favorites have to be Maikeru (Micheal) and Danieru (Daniel). They have bleach blonde mullets and wear American flag motifed leotards. And they speak in American accented Japanese, apparently (props to lady-friend Kaori for breaking this down).
Got to take pictures with members of Italian Connection. One thing for sure, you're not likely to find any WWE member bowing to his opponent and shaking hands and thanking/apologizing to them for the honor of being able to fight them.
Another accomplishment for my "DONE IN JAPAN" list.
