There are Joshi wrestling legends and then there is Chigusa Nagayo.
From humble beginnings, Chigusa worked to become not only a wrestling star, but a pop icon in Japan. People that never watched wrestling know Chigusa Nagayo.
That's why it blows our minds that we have Chigusa on the podcast this episode.
We discuss her entry into the wrestling business and go all the way to her current position as owner of the Marvelous promotion.
Chigusa and some of her Marvelous team will be in San Francisco on May 13 for West Coast Pro Wrestling's Queen of the Indies.
Thank you to Derek Kolterman for interpreting!

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
