WHAT do you get if you cross wrestling with Pokemon? The answer is Kaiju Big Battel.
It's the new craze sweeping America and it should reach us by Christmas.
It's not just a lot of old wrestlers dressed up as aliens throwing each other about in a ring.
Kaiju is a complete collection of monsters and their enemies. The fights, described as rumbles, are between different groups:
Dr Cube's Posse: Dr Cube is a horribly scarred, mad scientist who wants to rule the world. His mind-controlled followers are called the Minions
Team Space Bug: This is a swarm of alien insects led by Uchu
The Rogues: Selfish individuals who want fame and can't be trusted. They are led by Kung-Fu Chicken Noodle and a pair of sea beasts known as Unibouzu and Call Me Kevin
The Heroes: Good guys who defend the universe and protect people from the monsters. They are led by Los Plantos, Silver Potato and American Beetle
The Humans: People chosen specially to help save mankind.
According to Kaiju, the monsters have been around for millions of years, it's just that we don't normally see them.
Their fights are what causes earthquakes, tornadoes, volcanoes to erupt and forest to catch fire.
"Some people, probably grumpy adults who still think the Tooth Fairy isn't real, believe Kaiju Big Battel is just a new craze invented by some American students," say Kaiju's inventors. "You must remember that one monster-sized elbow-drop could flatten a city."
