Summary
Welcome to Those Days: A Michinoku Pro Retrospective! Case (https://twitter.com/_inyourcase) and Mike (https://twitter.com/fujiiheya) return to Michinoku Pro and late July 1996 where MichiPro has entered a Title Match Frenzy! They discuss the changing Japanese media climate before getting into The Great Sasuke and Tiger Mask IV’s July CMLL Mexico tour. From there, it’s time to talk about The World Championship Title Series tour, try to figure out the legitimacy of the Central American Middleweight Title, observe the growth of the young roster. Soon it’s August 5th, 1996 and it’s time to go to Sumo Hall for the J-Crown Finals between Ultimo Dragon and Sasuke, and the night that completely changed Sasuke’s physical trajectory. To finish up, they return to The World Championship Title Series and a new top Michinoku Pro match, and matches to hunt down!
