Episode 298: Wakaimonogashira and Sewanin

This week, we jumped into the internet to discover what it means to be a wakaimonogashira or a sewanin - 2 roles that a retired wrestler can take within the JSA. Along the way, we discovered new terms like 'shisho,' and we learned that, sometimes, there is not much detail to be found.
