      I know what you mean... we should appreciate that he's still with us considering his amazing life. Most normal human beings would have died a long time ago. What a bad ass.

    I started watching pro wrestling about 1983-84 as a kid. One of the craziest matches I ever saw was a women's match in Japan with Madusa Miceli (US) vs. some big Japanese chick. If memory serves me right, they started it out as a boxing match, but then they started doing these pro wrestling style holds and moves. These two women beat the hell out of each other and were legitimately trying to hurt one another. Madusa Miceli has been around a long time, still a good-looking woman, and is a legit pro wrestling legend. That woman is tough as nails, too. That Japanese girl was a lot bigger than her (weight wise) and she looked tough as hell also.

I couldn't find the one I was talking about but found another one with Madusa vs Aja Kahn that was every bit as wild as the one I was originally talking about. I am going to have to take your word on who the other woman is. Those chicks were beating the fuck out of eachother in both clips. I mean it was almost uncomfortable to watch lol.

    He's speaking the truth about Roppongi in the 80's and 90's - shit was lit. And prices were super expensive, like he said. Drink your beers before heading out, take a couple in your pockets, buy one or two at the bar. Models everywhere, ready to go - so worth it. Nothing like it. When you have a dog like Flair laughing like Beavis after he reflects on the times spent there... finest available tail per square foot I have or ever will see.
