Kaiju Big Battel - Friday, March 27th - 11:55 PST, 2:55 EST
Part spiritual pilgrimage, part historical epic, Kaiju Big Battel Journey to the West coast, is the story of the adventures of American Beetle and his encounters with a bizarre cast of characters as he travels west with the Kaiju Heros: Sun Buster, Dusto Bunny and French Toast.
This is a world plagued by city crushing monsters, who cause its human inhabitants unspeakable suffering. American Beetle fearlessly guided by his belief in "giving himself for the American cause," risks his all to conquer a space demon, a monkey demon and the demon of all demons, Dr Cube. Join the four of them as they embark on a journey to the West coast that's full of challenges in their search for one of the seven sacred keys. Much more than a picaresque wrestling novelty, Kaiju is a profound allegory of the struggle that must occur, Good vs Evil, Life vs Death.
Will San Jose be crushed flat? Will the Kaiju Heros make it home in one peice? Will they finally reach the Western shores and bring back one of the seven keys? Be there on March 27th in San Jose, CA and find out!
