Viewtiful Joe in Japanese Wrestling!

http://sportsnavi.yahoo.co.jp/fight/..._02_dj01_b.jpg


In a rather inspired bit of co-promotion, Capcom lately entered its new hero Viewtiful Joe in the ring of Japanese pro wrestling organization WEW (World Entertainment Wrestling), reports Famitsu.com. Joe competed on the April 29 WEW show at the Differ Ariake hall in Chiba, Japan, defeating The Joker in short order with a moonsault press.
Although it's not clear who currently resides under the stylish Joe mask, he apparently plans to compete around the circuit of Japanese independent promotions in the future. We'll keep you updated with further news of his exploits

Well, you know somethin', Fighter X, I bet Mr. America could do a moonsault press, brother! :)

Seriously, Hulk Hogan could! Honest! I saw him do one last week! ;)

He's wearing shinpads, probably a lot of kicks. WEW is a very small group...I'd love to see him show up in New Japan.

As if Power Rangers has become that obscure.

Power Rangers rock. They could kick this "Joe" guy's ass any day.

Lord Zedds putties were way tougher.

Yeah, and if by tougher you mean they just had to get hit once in that Z Medallion...

Power rangers suck. I always wondered why they didn't just use guns to rip their suite apart. Instead they use lazers and magic, something the suites actually defend against.

While physical attacking of the body remains the prominant role in hurting them. P.S. The 'putty' would always come back and be 'stronger' for an episode, soon afterward the new putty would get their ass kicked easily.

I hated those stupid puddie wannabes in that show VR Troopers, or maybe it was Bettle Borgs. Those cape wearing guys that you had to have two of them touch each other so that they would dissapear.

Haha, I'd forgotten about that. That was VR Troopers. The Japanese show VRT was based on was actually pretty entertaining and rather violent.

Go go Puro Power Rangers! Good to see Viewitful Joe in a context outside of gaming.

Funny Funny...I love the pic Shakey

Nah. The guy you speak of WAS in VR.5. Y'know that crappy show that lasted like 3 episodes back in the day. Back when shows like M.A.N.T.I.S could get n the air.
