Those two were TIGHT, man!
Probably because they respected each other as fellow wrestlers. Honda's biggest challenge has always been to prove that Sumo wrestling is among the greatest of martial arts. That's why he serves it up in such an original way. Zangief always supported Edmond's point of view on this.
Zangief, in the SF2 days, was the only other pro wrestler besides Honda in the World Warrior tournaments so he could relate.
Then there were the other reasons, LOL! Read the "Is Zangief Gay?" thread for that.
That's so interesting! I love little backstory tidbits like that!
Speaking of E. Honda, who plays him? Some CollegeHumor visitors think E. Honda's really Ryu, but I disagree.
The Later Years's E. Honda has thicker eyebrows, a longer, narrower face, and a fuller nose. Still, you'd know better than anyone else.
