In the fall of 2001, a rift into the chaos realm has suddenly opened in the middle of Japan, causing the once pacifist Japanes populace to go completely and utterly insane. Mass murder, sacrifice, and forced sexual intercourse have broken out, and the only remedy to halt the madness, is to close the rift. And so, 18 of the world's best, most excellent warriors - coined "The Champions" - have volunteered to enter the rift and destroy whatever beings are causing the rift to stay open, thus saving Japan from complete ruin. Can the succeed? This is Pride 17 - CHAMPIONSHIP CHAOS!
Held on November 3rdh, 2001 at the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan, over 53,000 fans are in attendance, the largest in house audience for a Pride show since Pride 1 – which had 47,000 in attendance. This will be the biggest Pride show attendance until Pride Shockwave 2002 – where over 90,000 will be on hand.
Pride 17 features 9 fights of meaty chestery action, with some returning favorites including Renzo Gracie, Dan Henderson, Heath Herring, igor Vovchanchyn and of course, THE GREAT ONE, Nobuhiko Takada! We will also see the debuts of Mario Sperry and Mirko Cro Cop, along with the crowning of two Champions. This should be a great show.
3 HOURS OF EXCELLENT ACTION! AND GENERALLY GREAT COMMENTARY (Except the bits where Goodvibe gives his play by play).
