PURORESU ACADEMY VIDEO-CAST #050 (Destroyer’s Farewell, LEGENDS Compete!!!)

AVAILABLE TO “VIP SUPERFAN” TIER MEMBERS AT PATREON.COM/WRESTLECOPIA

Featuring Ray Russell & Professor Dan Ginnetty

This week we’ll dive into The Destroyer’s farewell tour before he leaves his full time gig with All Japan in June 1979. We’ll discuss Destroyer’s personal relationship to Billy Red Lyons, and opponents like Giant Baba, Jumbo Tsuruta, and Rocky Hata! Plus, we’ll revisit some true LEGENDS of the mat when Lou Thesz and Karl Gotch team up to take on some of the best Japan has to offer in a match that’s rated as a 4+ star encounter!
