In lieu of Riki Choshu: Part Three, which will air next week, Write That Down! presents The Life &amp; Times of Jumbo Tsuruta, a super-cut of the two episodes Fumi Saito &amp; Justin Knipper did on Tsuruta last year.Part One: Fumi &amp; Justin went in deep on the early days of Tomomi “Jumbo Tsuruta, from his early days growing up in Yamanashi prefecture on his parents’ grape &amp; peach farm, playing basketball in high school, and his quick transition to amateur wrestling which led to him competing at the 1972 Munich Olympics.They also talked about Tsuruta’s move to pro wrestling shortly after the Olympics. Both Giant Baba and Antonio Inoki were courting the young phenom before he decided on joining All Japan Pro Wrestling, where he’d go on to become a company legend over the next few decades. They also touched on Jumbo’s early training days with the Funks in Texas, his 1984 AWA World title run, his very special rivalries with Bruiser Brody and Stan Hansen, the unique PWF ruleset, and his subsequent image change in the late ’80s ahead of the Super Generation Army era of the ’90s.Part Two: This episode picks up in 1985–1986, which is when Riki Choshu turned heel on Tatsumi Fujinami and left NJPW for AJPW with the rest of his ISHIN-GUN crew. It was around this time that Jumbo evolved into a type of enforcer for All Japan, as his character from the ’70s and early ’80s became bigger, gruffer and meaner.They also talked about Jumbo’s relationships to Stan Hansen and Genichiro Tenryu, two of his most important rivals, his use of the power bomb, Tenryu leaving AJPW to help form SWS, and his truly legendary Nippon Budokan match vs. a young Mitsuharu Misawa.Join the Patreon for just $5.00 per month here: https://www.patreon.com/fightgamemediaFollow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/fightgamemediaJoin our Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1958473677605950Follow our Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/fightgamemediaSubscribe to our YouTube Page: https://www.youtube.com/c/FightGameMediaFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fightgamemedia Learn more about your ad choices.

You Don't Know Billy Jack #7: Jumbo Tsuruta vs Genichiro Tenryu (AJPW 06/05/89)

The boys are back for the first in a trio of Match Microscope episodes, our (relatively) quick and snappy deep dives into famous puro matches.  First up, we discuss the legendary 1984 NWA title match between horse-faced hunk Kerry Von Erich and notorious country music mogul "Colonel" Jumbo Tsuruta, which sees Daniel, David and Statto cover a horrendously brutal dissection of a human hand, what makes a great 2 out of 3 falls match, and somehow mention NWA Presidents Bruce Tharpe and Billy Corgan but not Sam Muchnick.  Please clap.NOTE: Owing to an uncharacteristically efficient, and non-digressive recording process, we are unable to bring you the usual array of random shite following the closing theme.  All we have instead is the discussion of fantasy literature that Statto and Daniel had while David was taking a slash.  Enjoy!Matches:Kerry Von Erich (c) vs. Jumbo Tsuruta (NWA World Heavyweight Championship) (AJPW, 22 May 1984)

Episode 19 - Match Microscope (IV): Kerry Von Erich vs. Jumbo Tsuruta

Lorcan (@lorcanmullan) and Simon (@simoncross3) review a match that may be remembered more for its historical significance than its actual quality, so does the match itself hold up to a perfect score? Either way, they try to judge both the match and try to contextualise its importance to those of you who may not know that much about this. And by "those of you" we mean Lorcan and Simon before they did a quick bit of reading before recording this episode.lmtyspod@gmail.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Wrestlecade #04: Mitsuharu Misawa vs. Jumbo Tsuruta

Yuji Tsuruta

TONIGHT on Pipebomb Radio, our guest will be the son of Professional Wrestling Legend Jumbo Tsuruta, Yuji Tsuruta! Yuji's father was one of the most well known and one of the most decorated Professional Wrestlers to have ever come out of Japan. During Jumbo's 26 year career, he fought in 3,329 matches. Some of his most notable opponents include Stan Hansen, The Destroyer, Bruiser Brody, Genichiro Tenryu, Abdullah the Butcher, Terry Funk, Dory Funk Jr., Mitsuharu Misawa, Harley Race, Verne Gagne, Jack Brisco, Ric Flair, and Nick Bockwinkel. Tsuruta was the first AJPW Triple Crown Champion (unifying the Pacific Wrestling Federation, NWA United National, and NWA International Heavyweight titles), defeating Stan Hansen on April 18, 1989 in Tokyo. Tonight we will delve into exactly what it's like being known as the son of world renown legend, if Yuji has a future in Professional Wrestling himself, along with so much more. Do not miss a single second of what should be a great interview this evening on Pipebomb Radio!
