TOKYO - Did you think the U.S. was the only country that
could possibly elect a former professional wrestler to pol-
itical office? Please. The Japanese have empowered "The
Great Sasuke" to hold a position in a local assembly. How-
ever, unlike most other wrestlers, this one doesn't take off
his mask when he's out of the ring. The 33-year-old wrestler
who fought his way to victory under his ring name, and wear-
ing his mask during his campaign, has vowed that the mask
will not leave his face even after he enters the staid halls
of Japanese politics. Once he's in office, he plans to take
a hold of city crime, put it in a choke hold, and pin it
down to keep the streets safe.
