Just an interesting note... i was speaking with a friend of mine from Japan who is visiting the US this week. He knows of both Pride and K-1, but said that K-1 is much more popular in Japan. I was very surprised.

Also, he mentioned that Japanese Pro Wrestling is really struggling right now. Its not doing very well.

Yep, K-1 is TONS bigger in Japan than Pride or MMA in general.

Antonio Inoki sold a lot of his intrest in New Japan Pro Wrestling fairly recently, so thats another bad sign for puroresu.
