Was wondering there the hell you disappeared to. Wassup man.

You been in the ring lately?

I have not. Last time I was in the ring was December 2019. Dealt with a lot during 2020, and had a couple people try to get me to come back, but I just haven’t felt it. I’m pretty sure that chapter of my life is over. It was fun, met great people, but I’m really not trying to destroy my body for something I truly don’t care for the direction it’s heading.

I still love wrestling and think it’s the greatest creative outlet to ever exist. Who knows if I’ll ever choose to hop back into it.

Could you be more specific?

First match you can remember? First favorite wrestler?

I don't remember what year. I didn't watch that much wrestling in the early-to-mid 90s like that. I really got into it during the boom period.

At one point, I was watching ANYTHING pro wrestling on TV.

RAW
Nitro
Thunder
SmackDown
ECW Hardcore TV

Even C-tier stuff like WCW Worldwide and WWF Shotgun.

I had a blue WWF dumbbell.

Ultimo Dragon is the latest subject in Fumi Saito & Justin Knipper’s profile showcase series. The two went over Dragon’s career from his time as a teeanager in Nagoya traveling to Tokyo to meet his favorite stars, like Tiger Mask or Terry Funk, to his rise to stardom in Mexico in the ’90s. They also discussed Dragon’s his time in both WCW and WWE, plus more on his influential in-ring career.

When did you guys get into wrestling?

I got into wrestling probably the fall before Mania III. Not embarrassed to say I was a Hulk Hogan fan (back then). Loved the swag of the Hart Foundation.

Saturday Night Main Event was my ish.

Always amazing to see that you still listen to Cheap Heat.

I still listen to it. I could see why someone wouldn’t like it with the shilling. Shout out to Stat Guy Greg.

I stopped listening to Cheap Heat when Masked Man started his own show. Then his show got boring to me and I stopped listening to his.

But yea, I didn't even know it was still even going.

Dip becoming full time on Cheap Heat and Kaz full time on Masked Man made both shows better, imo.

Stupid.

To ask someone to stand there and take that move is wild as hell.

But, "It's just wrestling. "

Even the AEW roster, who love to group together in place for 10 seconds in multi-person matches to wait for someone to get in position so that they can dive on them thinks this is stupid.

Basically RKOing yourself.
