A Big Hello to all WOO Fans! 🥳🥳🥳 WOO!
WOO's OG Wrestling Promo Partner, Perry Saturn @planetarypro has written another post at last! His posts are quite rare and I appreciate hearing his own words talking about his vast wrestling experiences over his long and storied career.
This latest post from Perry offers a interesting glimpse into the challenges wrestlers face on the road. Here are some highlights from his Japanese tour in '95 which I've summarised in point form below.
Weather Challenges
- Constant Rain: Nearly every day for a month, heavy rains caused street closures and flooding.
- Earthquake Aftermath: Post-earthquake, highways and major roads were destroyed, making travel incredibly difficult.
Travel and Food
- Bus Life: Spent up to 20 hours a day on the bus due to destroyed roads.
- Food Struggles:
- Convenience stores were often the only food source.
- Yakitori (chicken on skewers) was common but undercooked, raising salmonella concerns.
- Northern towns offered limited options like curry or raw squid.
- Highway rest stops occasionally provided hamburger steak or uncertain beef.
Drinking and Sleep Deprivation
- Beer Supply: The bus was stocked with beer but lacked food.
- Sleep Issues:
- Sleeping on the bus became uncomfortable and difficult.
- Jon, a loud and cheerful drunk, kept everyone awake.
- Attempts to drug Jon with Halcion, a Mexican sleeping pill, failed as he remained unaffected.
Craziest In-Ring Experience
- Unexpected Earthquake:
- During a match with Jado and Gedo, an aftershock struck.
- The audience, opponents, and referee rushed to the doorways, following proper earthquake procedures.
- Perry and Jon stood bewildered in the ring, the show abruptly ending.
Tour Conclusion
- Tensions and Relief:
- By the tour's end, everyone was on edge and needed a break.
- At the airport, they reflected on the tough tour but felt grateful to be heading home.
- Acknowledged the ongoing struggles for the Japanese people in the aftermath of the earthquake.
Well, I think we can say that Perry’s recount of his '95 Japanese tour makes for a most interesting story doesn't it? From battling the elements to handling unexpected quakes, it’s clear that life on the road for wrestlers is as challenging as it is rewarding.
