Masahiro Chono: ”Black Charisma”

On this week’s episode, Fumi & Justin focused on the one & only MASAHIRO CHONO. After debuting after dozens of wrestlers left NJPW for Japan Pro Wrestling and the first incarnation of UWF, Chono, alongside fellow Three Musketeers Keiji Muto & Shinya Hashimoto, rose to the zenith of his popularity during his time as active in-ring performer during the mid-90s. Chono forged a distinct career path over the years, traveling up and down Eastern coast of North America and throughout Germany & Austria early on, where he really began to grow into the iconic figure fans are familiar with today.
