Wrestling Art w/ Chris Things Ep. 64 - MOTW w/ Richard of Video Plant: Double-Feature Edition

Episode 64 is here pals! It's a "Match of the Week" Edition of the show w/ my good pal, Richard of Video Plant - chattin' two rather 'special' matches in honor of two recently passed wrestlers who I'm quite fond of in Gran Hamada & Osamu Nishimura. It's Gran Hamada & Satoru 'Tiger Mask' Sayama vs Perro Aguayo & Baby Face from 1980, El Toreo, Mexico, then 'Mr. Muga', Osamu Nishimura vs. Yoshihiro Takayama from the 2002 New Japan G1 Climax tournament! Two highly contrasting yet absolutely wonderful Pro Wrestling matches if I do say so myself! We chat all about these matches, my art of said matches, our love for the world of Lucha Libre Mexicana, a dive into the world of the 'El Toreo' UWA promotion, Gran Hamada's legacy, the wonder of going down these wrestling rabbit-holes & the amazing atmosphere of this era of Lucha Libre, my love for Nishimura-San, Wrestling public access TV shows, Hijo Del Santo, Portland Wrestling, retro cult movie theatre appreciation & David Lynch! Looking back, we cover quite a bit of ground!In my 'World of Chris-Things' intro monologue I talk my recent Cyclone close call, my current solo art show coming to a close, & preparing for an upcoming Wrestling Club at the Scratch Bar.Everyone be sure to be following Richard's @Video.Plant for all of the coolest cult cinema & VHS collecting goodness.Enjoy!!Check out the Chris Things MOTW illustrations in question here: Gran Hamada & Satoru 'Tiger Mask' Sayama vs Perro Aguayo & Baby FaceOsamu Nishimura vs. Yoshihiro TakayamaChrisThings.com.au is the place for original art, prints, calendars & much more!Follow us on Instagram: @ChrisThings, @Video.Plant @SocialSuplexFollow us on Twitter: @ChrisThings, @SocialSuplexLike us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SocialSuplex/Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/QUaJfaCVisit our website for news, columns, and podcasts: https://socialsuplex.com/Join the Social Suplex community Facebook Group: The Wrestling (Squared) CircleWrestling-Art with Chris Things is the Pro-Wrestling Art niche Podcast of the Social Suplex Podcast Network.
