Menchetti had nothing to do with Shirota’s retirement. Joe, you’re kidding yourself if you say that you did. That TV show you filmed with his was a sham. You said it yourself by exposing all of the purging. If Shirota had any desire to actually test himself against you that day, he would have crushed you. You know it. He knows it. Everyone else who knows anything knows it.

Spelling correction: The top placing woman was Hatsuyo “The Witch” Sugawara (not Suguwara).
