Episode 25 - CCCPPP (II): Smarkism-Leninism

Puro Pourri Podcast

We're back in the USSR! Fresh off the heels of their special on the Tokyo Dome show featuring Comrades Hashimikov, Zangiev, Berkovich et al., the boys now take a look at what the Red Bull Army did next. We kick off with NJPW's 1989 New Year's Eve extravaganza in Moscow (yes, really), before getting our teeth into what happened when those Soviet shooters wound up in UWFI. Taking in the fall of the Soviet Union and the definitely much better and not at all kleptocratic governments that took its place, Gary "A Genuine Menace" Albright, the ethical implications of fancying Gerry Adams and the welcome return to the podcast of PPP fave and punching bag extraordinaire Yoji Anjo, Episode 25 is the perfect way to get yourself in the mood for the inevitable withering away of the capitalist state. MATCHES: Nobuhiko Takada (c) vs. Salman Hashimikov (Pro-Wrestling World Heavyweight Championship) (UWFI, 18 July 1993) Dan Severn and Gary Albright vs. Salman Hashimikov and Vladimir Berkovich (UWFI, 5 December 1993) Yoji Anjo vs. Victor Zangiev (UWFI, 3 March 1994)
