Was going to make a thread about this but maybe someone in this thread can help.
A few years back I remember following a Japanese TV show which went for I think 30 minutes and they'd follow the Japanese indies and show clipped matches from DDT, K-Dojo and the micro indies. They had two hosts which were a woman and I believe a puppet.
Anyone know what I'm going on about? After much looking I'm starting to think maybe I've dreamed this.
