The Wildly Strange World of Super Hulks
Japanese culture is a twisted and curious affair. It is a society where black men are bug-a-boo Africans or thuggish American rap stars. It is a place where a man can buy the soiled panties of teenage girl from vending machines. It is a land where marijuana is not only illegal, but public...

Just Because DREAM Announces a Fight Doesn't Mean It Is Signed; Ask Jose Canseco
Jake Rossen caught this little detail: The Globe and Mail quotes Jose Canseco's manager, Dennis Holahan, as saying Dream might have jumped the gun a bit in announcing the excommunicated baseball star's ring appearance against Hong-Man Choi on May 26. "It probably won't be a sure thing for...
Hello, Japan! DREAM's "Super Hulk" Tournament Stirs Feelings of PRIDE
