Pro-wrestling in Japan is very different than it is over here. To put it simply, it's staged, but they definitely take damage.

It doesn't look very "fake" to me. He also looks like he's back on gear if you watch the whole video.
Kyle Turdley, I think, is the guy in that wrasslin video with The Big Show? Don't worry, Jas will put up that Wandy shaking his head gif, for my bad joke.
It must be scary as hell anticipating that kick from Crocop. No matter how precise 1 out of 10 of those is a skull shaker.
I really do suck. I was trying to compare Rogue to Kyle Turley. If I were Rogue I would be none to happy with the comparison, for many reasons. Just another hiroshima-ing session by me.I don't even get your joke to rip on it Vanavich. :blink:
I really miss 02-05.5.
I feel bad for you. You missed that crazy Gracie early UFC era, when everything was pretty much unknown, then Shamrock/Gracie/Severn/Taktarov, then a year later Frye came on the scene along with Tank/Ruas/Coleman, Vitor's brazilian thunderfist display at the ripe age of 19, damn was he juiced back then. Then some 35 year old average looking joe Randy Couture came along and destroyed him. Ortiz battled the Lion's Den, and then Franky shut him up for a while. After that it was dead for a while during the UFC blackout days, when Pride was still developing. Enter 2000, Pride started having some amazing cards, the GP was good, Pride 10 was excellent, then the Wandy/Saku trilogy began, Nog entered the scene, then the UFC stepped it up again with big cards like36, 38, 40, 43, 44, 47, oh how I miss those days. Without looking at any stats, I think 2003 was the best year in MMA history thus far, prove me wrong.No doubt. I loved watching every event throughout the 90s and early 00s. :lol: Maybe I'll post the Lawler-Niko fight since some of the Hawaiian boys were saying that Lawler was faking injuries. :twisted:
I actually rented 2 of them with friends in 96 so I had seen a little bit of the action. I have now also rented most of the UFC's from 1-25 from a local video store. It's an interesting progression to watch. Damn the Polar Bear was good! I haven't seen much from 25 to 45 or so though. I tried downloading a bunch from the secret place but nobody was ever seeding them.
As for Pride I've seen almost every one except 1-5 and most Bushido's as well (who wants to watch little guys that I can throw around)
I agree with you completely, but we got to see the myth Rickson fight against top contender Takada:twisted:, Saku's schooling of Vitor and a nice war between Goodridge and Vovchanchyn.You aren't missing much in Pride 1-5 except for a great match between Sakuraba/Newton and the work between Takada/Coleman.

Damn, your place must be like in the 40-year-virgin with all the action figures .... except that your stuff is MMA so I guess it's cooler. Yeah, I'd like to rent more of the 25-45 era UFC's but can't find them anywhere and I got booted from you-know-where (expecting an I-told-you-so from Rogue soon).
I really don't think he had that bad of intentions on the last punch. It was just kind of a "look at me b*tch" punch. It was wrong and bullsh*t, but not "ruthless".Lawler going overboard
