Welcome to Crossbody of Work, a show where we break down a wrestler’s career through five of their biggest matches.
We are heading back to New Japan this week to look at Masahiro Chono’s career. One of the original Three Musketeers and our last one to cover, Chono is one of the greatest heels to ever come out of Japanese wrestling. We look at some legendary opponents from his career including Keiji Mutoh, Hiroshi Hase, Kenta Kobashi, Hiroshi Tanahashi, and more. Join us for some excellent graps this week. On top of all these matches, Evan & Javier also talk about:

- The O.C.
- Quarters
And a lot more.
