KEDNO KASHIN - G1 And Only: Episode 11
On today’s episode, we are discussing a man that well, honestly I don’t know where to go with.

He’s even won a Best of the American Super Jrs in Ring Of Honor. And he’s competed in MMA which at our point in 2005, he had a decent 1-1-1 record. But in all of that, I would argue he is one of the last attempts for Inokism to try and stay before it was gone for good, which definitely says a lot. Right now, we are talking about Kendo Kashin!
