All right, hello everyone and welcome to another episode of The Long and winding railroad here at post wrestling.

We're at episode 44.

Can't believe I've done 44 of these things.

And today's a special episode,

because we're gonna be returning to our biography episode and the last

what we did was Stan Hansen and today we're going to do the great, maybe the greatest of all time some people might argue

other people but I would argue possibly jumbo is the greatest of all time that's

right I spoiled it's jumbo seruda-Saruda today and joining me today is a person doing like great work looking at the history of Japanese professional wrestling by doing a lot of translation work and he's going to tell you where you can find a lot of his stuff when I introduce him and his name is Cameron Lee.

Cameron, how are you?

I'm doing all right.

I'm doing all right.

This is something I was telling you before the show.

I've been wanting to do this show with you about Jumbo for a couple of years now.

In fact I posted a lot of stuff I should I don't want to bury the lead I go by Kinge Stalker on pro wrestling only it's a dumb name don't ask about it I write I've since 20 for about three years I've been writing I what I do is I take Japanese

Japanese I process and I get Japanese stuff translated that is contemporary

contemporary coverage and retrospective stuff.

The stuff that I'll be talking about with Jumbo comes from a 2020 biography by Kaghiro Osano, another book and a couple other books and

interviews that I'll mention along the way. But basically what I do is a lot of pro-res

coverage over here is us talking about what we think about these matches

aesthetically and then sort of spitballing and speculating about a lot of stuff. We don't go back to the journalism there a lot and there's I mean there's a lot there

there's a lot of genuine insight that has just gone unrecognized in the West for decades and my job is to try to bring that try to bridge that gap you know?

Oh I I follow you on Twitter and I started seeing your posts and I was just like wow this is a lot of great
