Show Notes
Andrew & Christian return to talk about the much-underrated shootfighting promotion UWFi. Without UWFi, there would likely be no Pride, MMA, and Bloodsport.
The hosts talk to UWFi English commentator Ted Pelc. Pelc is also responsible for bringing the UWFi overseas to North America and the UK. Topics include how he got involved with UWFi, being a martial arts student under the tough Satoru Sayama (Tiger Mask), if a promotion like UWFi could work today, working on the first Pride show, interactions with the UWFi roster, his work with promotion Real Japan Pro Wrestling, and so much more.
Check out UWFi under the title "Bushido: Way of the Warrior" on Amazon Prime: https://www.amazon.com/Bushido-Way-Of-The-Warrior/dp/B07N6MKTNZ/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=bushido&qid=1592861725&s=instant-video&sr=1-4
Real Japan Pro Wrestling returns this weekend on June 26. You can watch the show live on Nico Nico TV.
