Episode 23 - Match Microscope (VI): The Grocery Store Deathmatch

Puro Pourri Podcast

Welcome, one and all, to the Puro Pourri Podcast Black Friday Special - midnight opening, everything must go, and we have a limited time-only 3-for-2 deal on obscure Scottish football tangents. Join the lads for a look back at a 1995 show called Kendo Nagasaki's (no, not that one) Vale Tudo in Shotengai, in which the Big Japan roster do their bit for local businesses by wrecking several of their premises. Marvel as five bona fide MMA legends do battle using various produce including avocados, watermelons, multiple species of fish, and a liberal amount of Dr. K. Angle's finest bald cream, and click your teeth in bemusement as Statto makes the bold claim that having a Pepsi machine tipped on you wouldn't hurt that much. Because David Forrest is involved, there are, of course, copious Supermarket Sweep references. RIP Dale Winton, you were a real one. MATCHES: Kendo Nagasaki vs. Bruiser Okamoto vs. Seiji Yamakawa vs. Yosuke Kobayashi vs. Yuichi Taniguchi (Grocery Store Deathmatch) (BJW, 1 July 1995)
