Hiroshi 'Rossy' Ogawa is a name that is synonymous with joshi puroresu.

From his early involvement in All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling, his formation of ARSION, the re-popularisation of women's wrestling in Japan with Stardom, to his latest endeavour in Marigold giving us Mayu Iwatani vs. IYO SKY in just a few days time, Rossy Ogawa has been at the centre of it all.

Rob and Matt have been lucky enough to be granted a rare interview with the man responsible for the creation of World Wonder Ring Stardom and Dream Star Fighting Marigold and, as we inch closer to Grand Destiny on October 26th, Rossy Ogawa takes us on a whistlestop tour through his fascinating life in joshi puroresu, spanning over four decades!
