Yamazaki Wrestling

Hey guys, long time lurker, first time poster, so I hope I’m posting this correctly.
I found a video on one of my old harddrives. Its an unsubbed video of Yamazaki doing a whole bunch of "wrestling events" (throwing yakisoba at eachother, chinko machine, bungee jumping around the ring, etc) against this one lady, who I believe is a professional. It looks like an annual event, taking place in 1998, 2000, 2002, 2003, etc.

I was wondering if anyone had english subs for it, what it’s called, and if there’s more information on it. The video is over 3 hours long, so hopefully it’s out there.

Here are a few screenshots:

Thanks in advance!

Hi Corphix, welcome to the forum.

That series is called Yamasaki vs. Moriman. You likely found a compilation special that combined a few of the episodes.
There’s a section of the forums for it here: viewforum.php?f=32&start=0

Unfortunately I don’t think there’s much subbed but to be honest since the episodes are mainly about slapstick battles they can be easily followed without subs.

Basically Moriman is a female comedian and they have a fictitious rivalry which they try to settle in the ring and Housei never wins as they are obviously mismatched in size and strength which is intended. I think it was inspired by a clip Housei saw once of a little pug dog trying to face up against a huge St Bernard, which mostly just resulted in it yapping and running in circles. :lol: The series is retired now though, I think Housei said he was getting bumps all over his head from the sticks of burdock! Though now he has Chouno giving him brain damage from yearly slaps instead. :rofl:

Poor Housei, if Moriman doesn’t kick his ass, Chouno slaps him for whatever reason, or Hamada smacks him in the head sometimes. :D

Thanks for the response! Maybe I can cobble together some fake subs for fun. I’m discovering a whole bunch of other videos on this drive, most of them are Batu games, but some just appear to be random highlights from Downtown’s show. I’ll keep hunting the forums for subs for all these. Thanks again!!
