Rikidozan vs Bobo Brazil - JWA 8/14/57

How is there not a documentary on Bobo Brazil, the Jackie Robinson of Pro Wrestling, what an important figure. The dude was massive and I know Rikidozan was not that tall. Rikidozan is sponsored by Mitsubishi. I have noticed there is not as much grappling in Rikidozan matches, yes he will do it. He prefers to stand & bang. It was Bobo's Coco Butt vs Rikidozan Slashing Three Quarters chop. I enjoyed it. It looked like Brazil opened Rikidozan up as the ref was checking on him. Brazil looked to give up on the match and then comeback. I am glad we have this. Cool footage.
