New Japanese Pride 33 Promo Video (Way Over the Top)

Pride has posted a new promo video for Pride 33 on their Japanese website. It's waaaaay over the the top. It starts out with with some religious imagery alternating with images of Wandy, and church organ music in the background, implying that Wandy is some sort of MMA messiah. Then it segues into some Wandy highlight reel material, but augmented with "Godizilla stomping on Tokyo" sound effects with each brutal knee that connects on Rampage and Sakuraba. The camera actually shakes with each knee that connects! It also features Wandy talking trash not only about Chuck, but the UFC as well.

It's a well-produced video, but definitely not to everyone's tastes. More of a glimpse into how Pride is promoted in Japan.

(It's the video on the right.)

I take they have been studying the UFC's approach to overhyping events.

I liked the "King of Fierce Countenance" bit--sounds like a babelfish translation. Pretty well done overall, though. Are these being actually shown anywhere other than the Pride site?

My first thought, it targeted for Americans because they are religious.
