Ep 222: Taka Michinoku

This week we look at the over 25 year career of Taka Michinoku. From his run in WWF as the first Light Heavyweight Champion and as part of Kaientai to his runs in NJPW and Kaientai Dojo, we've got lots to look at. We've got matches against Triple H, Gedo & Jado and Forever Hooligans. Join us for a great deep dive into an Attitude Era favorite.
