[paul sosnowski]

I read that there may be a complete version of this match out there, so if anyone has it, let me know please.     Starts with Rikidozan touring Hawaii footage

The fucking Lou Thesz powerbomb. In 1953.

Super cool footage.

I didnt know I needed it but I really needed Rikidozan falling off a surfboard in Hawaii, picking up two chicks literally and hitting an inside the park home run! This definitely made me more excited to see Rikidozan and as El-P pointed out Thesz busting out a powerbomb in 1953 is pretty killer.
