WTF I Love Japanese Pro-Wrestling Now
The other night here in Kobe, after our gem and mineral show, I turned the TV on before bed. On it was Japanese pro-wrestling. I haven't paid attention to wresting since King Kong Bundy, Andre The Giant and Macho Man were a thing, but I was strangely glued to this show. I was never a fan, but it was always entertaining to watch. The Japanese wrestlers were just as entertaining.
I had no idea who these people were and couldn't tell the good guys from the bad guys, but it seemed the less flamboyant guys were the good ones.
Watching the men smack each other, fly across the ring and jump off the ropes made me realize these guys really have to work at their trade like real athletes. They aren't just actors.
This match though the guys went the extra mile. They were throwing each other outside of the ring!
This match ended when the good guys, 3 of them, tag teamed on the one bad guy.
It was really entertaining and now I'm really wanting to go see a live show. How about you??
Thanks for reading!
I've never been a fan.

Neither have I but age changes your tastes. I have a lot of respect for these performers now.

I tried watching wrestling sometime back, 5 minutes in I was ready to change the channel. That was it.
TBF I had quite a few drinks in me. Still, I'm at the point in my life where I just want to enjoy it no matter what it is I do.
You should, never know when the crazies push the buttons.
I really like Konosuke Takeshida, who is currently on AEW.
AEW does a "Forbidden Door" PPV with guys from AEW and New Japan.
Oh wow, you know some of these guys? I don't know anything about them, but it was extremely entertaining.
I have been a life-long wrestling fan from growing up in Northern Minnesota and watching AWA matches on TV when I was a kid.
Ya I didn't even know about Japanese pro-wrestling. it's probably proportionally as big as the WWF here.
