American Balloon, direct from Japan, returns to the show to talk about his stint with the DDT promotion. We talk strange gimmicks in DDT (including Mecha Mummy), sharing an apartment with 5 other wrestlers, long plane rides, longer bus rides, the dangers of pachinko, boob chants, and the best 10 year old worker in the world. A half hour of power!

Before he made it to Japan, American Balloon made it to Joe versus the World back in June. Kinda the same thing. You can learn more about American Balloon at his website and his mySpace profile. There’s also a thread dedicated to his adventures over on the Death Valley Driver Message Board. We thank him for coming on again and wish him good luck.
This is our third show this week! It bees that way sometimes. If you haven’t been around this week, make sure you check out our shows with Tom Feely (Survivor Series) and Scott Christ (TNA)
