Shadow the Hedgehog cameos at wrestling match

Shadow the Hedgehog (225)So, Sega needs to promote their latest platforming hero, Shadow the Hedgehog - what better way than by throwing him in a wrestling match? Flanked by Takashi Iizuka of Sega Studio USA and Sonic father Yuji Naka, Shadow the Hedgehog made an exuberant appearance at a wrestling match featuring Japanese league Pancrase.

Japanese blog Game Watch ( translation) has pictures of Shadow climbing on the ropes and shaking hands with the night's winner, and reports that Shadow even became the announcer during the 6th round. Maybe Shadow can make an appearance in one of Sega's many imminent games based on the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing - wrestling against some of the adorable Olympic mascots, perchance?
