the amount i need modern wrestling fans to study the von erichs until they're able to point at other wrestlers and go "i know where they learned that" is unreal
#[ colour commentary ]#yes yes we always come back to me rambling about kerry and mean mark callous what of it. /j#this is actually a post about fritz and japanese wrestling at heart but progressive diseases are robbing me of my ability to put anything#into words beyond a desperate plea to sit your ass down and Watch the decades of wrestling people have already suffered and died to bring us#and to Feel the impact of wrestlers of the fifties-eighties for yourself. not just be Aware of it. if wrestling as a vessel for storytelling#could be a book you read It Would Be. if it could be a handful of movies/videos you watch It Would Be. but it isn't. and when we#Care about wrestling and want to engage with it we have an obligation to engage With Professional Wrestling. With the athletics. With the#tapes. With the promotional material including printed programs and cut promos and magazine articles. learn about amateur and collegiate#wrestling. learn about grappling. names of maneuvers. origins of some of those names. the names and legacies of venues. the sociopolitical#history of time periods and regions in which wrestling was happening. you will read the gimmicks and you will love the pontiact silver dome#as you would a spouse and you WILL learn about the heart punch and why it is the most devastating move in professional wrestling--#/j okay anyway. i lay back down now#train of thought inspired by the undertaker's kerry-honed drop kicks but Post inspired by fritz literally going to japan to save wrestling#okay. lay down now.#go watch some memphis tapes

In a match that Paul Heyman said was too violent even for ECW, Terry Funk defended the ECW World Heavyweight Championship against Sabu in a Barbed Wire match. During the match, Sabu severely tore his bicep open on the barbed wire, he temporarily closed the wound using surgical tape and continue to wrestle. In the end, Sabu defeated Funk to win the ECW World Heavyweight Championship for the second time.
