In fact it must have been over 30 years since I screamed in Kendo Nagasakis' face following some dastardly salt throwing at the Hexagon in Reading. I finally got to meet and chat to him curtesy of an All Star meet and greet. I was impressed at how warm he was toward the fans, giving each one plenty of time for pictures and chatting about battles with Andre the Giant.
He clearly still cares a lot about the business.

Paul relived the magic 30 years on. Nagasaki certainly seems a welcoming souk these days. Maybe he's reliving the magic too. Whatever his motives it's quite something that decades later the mystique persists. Interesting that Paul mentions memories of Andre. That would have been so low on my list I wouldn't have thought about it.
