KAWADA vs. FOLEY: Dangerous K Goes Hardcore! (Patreon)

Toshiaki Kawada and Mick Foley aren't two names you'd ever expect to have shared a ring, but they did; and in a big match for Kawada's Triple Crown in 2004. The match itself took place in HUSTLE and while the big question here frankly is whether the match will be terrible or if it'll turn out alright, there's also a lot of background to cover -- not just the chaotic circumstances that led to the bout, but also Foley's own history in Japan. Enjoy!

This version of the video is Patreon-only, where I'm able to present the match without loads of freeze frames. SkyPerfect TV, broadcasters of HUSTLE PPV's back in the day, are a bit copyright-happy, so it'll have to be cut up quite a lot more for the YouTube version.
