YOU GUYS! You NEED to watch this. I’ve been meaning to get around to it for quite a while, but holy shit, it’s really good. It’s Katsuyori Shibata vs. Tomohiro Ishii from the A Block of the 2013 G1 Climax tournament, the August 4th show. All you need to know to set this up is that Shibata is the one with the black trunks and kickpads and Ishii is the bald guy with lightning bolts on his shorts.
Now watch two Japanese pro wrestlers beat the fuck out of each other in front of a crowd that IS REALLY INTO THAT SORT OF THING.
This matches just make me hurt watching them. Still badass especially since I’m a big Shibata fan for some unknown reason.
Shibata is pretty great, so I don’t think you really need a reason to be a fan of him. I want to check out his Wrestle Kingdom 8 match against Goto, I’ve heard it stole the show.
