JOURNALIST REVEALS MATT SYDAL HAS BEEN RELEASED FROM PRISON & IS HEADING HOME NEXT WEEK

December 1, 2016

LOS ANGELES, CA -- "Hardcore" Bob Holly is our guest on Sean Waltman's X-Pac 1,2,360 show this week. Japanese wrestling journalist Fumi Saito joins us as well, with an update on American wrestler Matt Sydal's legal situation. Here are the highlights:

Fumi explains the most recent development on Matt: He was in jail for quite some time, over a month or so. It took them eight, nine weeks to have court set. There was finally court this week. He plead guilty right away. It was a rather simple court case procedure. The prosecutor wanted eighteen months in jail or three years probation...He's going to take the probation. He that means next week he'll have a verdict, then he goes to the air port and goes home.

Fumi reveals that someone reported Matt to authorities: It was his thirtieth trip to Japan, and they didn't think it was the first time he brought something in...The reason he got caught this time though, this is where things get really mysterious and tricky, Japanese customs in Osaka were informed by somebody that Matthew Joseph Cochran is bringing in certain things.

The setup was acknowledged in court, according to Fumi: It was mentioned in the court too, that customs was informed by somebody, they're not saying who, but that Matthew Joseph Cochran from America is bringing in certain things on certain dates. They knew it.

Fumi on what's next for Matt: He's out on bail now and then the verdict is coming this coming Monday. They'll give him three years probation, no jail time, nothing, he's going home that day.
