The Ace of Marvelous and one of the best in-ring performers in the world, Takumi Iroha, is the guest this episode.

This was recorded right after our interview with Chigusa Nagayo and because Eric wouldn't stop talking to Chigusa, our time with Takumi was cut a bit short.

The length of the podcast doesn't take away from how much fun we had chatting with her.

Takumi and other Marvelous wrestlers will be in San Francisco on May 13 for West Coast Pro Wrestling's Queen of the Indies.

There are Joshi wrestling legends and then there is Chigusa Nagayo.

From humble beginnings, Chigusa worked to become not only a wrestling star, but a pop icon in Japan. People that never watched wrestling know Chigusa Nagayo.

That's why it blows our minds that we have Chigusa on the podcast this episode.

We discuss her entry into the wrestling business and go all the way to her current position as owner of the Marvelous promotion.

Chigusa and some of her Marvelous team will be in San Francisco on May 13 for West Coast Pro Wrestling's Queen of the Indies.

We chat about her growing up in Nagoya and how she had a family friend who was involved with wrestling.

Crea discusses how she got involved in wrestling and what it has taken to get this far in her career.

She is so thoughtful with her answers and laughed at all of our terrible jokes.
