Nowadays, almost everyone knows that wrestling programs such as WWE are all-action entertainment. However, in a few cases, these originally protected wrestling performances are completely out of control like a derailed train. This turned the arena into a fierce battle with real swords and guns - even a Shura field that resulted in serious injuries and death.
In 1991, Hepburn Abrams was the owner of a wrestling league. He was suspicious and suspected that his wife was having an affair with his wrestler "Wild Boy" Steve Ray. Convinced that she was being cheated on, Hepburn paid another wrestler, Steve Williams, $100 to break the nose of old "Ray" next door during a match. You know, Williams' nickname is "Doctor Death" (someone says "Doctor Death"), so this kind of thing is naturally easy to do. He severely repaired Ray during the game and won easily. After the game, when Ray was holding his bleeding nose in pain in the ring, Hepburn came to the ring and said something to Ray. An angry Ray shouted at Hepburn punched him, but Hepburn had already escaped.
Follow-up: Steve Ray denied the claims of having an inappropriate relationship with his boss’s wife, saying it was all just drama, but then another executive in his league denied the claims, Said that there was indeed a conflict between the two.
Andre the Giant, who was active from the 1960s to the 1980s, is one of the most successful Giant players in the history of WWE. He maintains a legendary record of being undefeated for 15 years. His drinking capacity was as astonishing as his weight. It is said that he once drank 156 bottles of beer at one time, which can be called a real one-thousand-glass drink.
Once, Andre met Hiaki Maeda in a competition in Japan, the latter was a fighter who later participated in many MMA competitions. Unexpectedly, Andre, who drank too much before the game, had already thrown the game script out of his mind. When Maeda kicked Andre, Andre, who was supposed to react to being hit, remained motionless on the spot and said, "Keep going." Andre, who weighed over 450 pounds, even locked Maeda with a very vicious "Full Nelson Fix", almost strangling Maeda to death. Maeda also began to kick Andre's legs with all his strength and knocked him down several times.
Seeing that the game was out of control, Japanese wrestling leader Hiroshi Inoki came to the ring, but was ignored by Andre. In the end, Maeda knocked Andre down again. As a result, Andre not only showed no pain at all, but laughed and said sarcastically: "That's it? Come on me!" Andre had enough fun and wanted to let his opponent Suppress yourself and end this farce, but Maeda, who is not Princess Yaoyao, refuses to win by simply pressing on someone and winning. Seeing that Maeda was still not pressing forward, Andre even moved to a position that made Maeda's pressing more comfortable. In desperation, Inoki stopped the game, which had already gotten out of control, and the show ended in chaos.
Follow-up: The audience left the venue confused and disappointed. The match was never replayed on television, and Andre never received a message from the wrestling alliance (NJPW). ) invitation. Some even say that this competition directly led to the decline of the company for a period of time.
Have you ever thought that in the real world, there is a person who can be as lawless as the black members of the gang in "Grand Theft Auto"? This person is New Jack. In fact, in African American slang, the term "New Jack" refers to the "new" member of a gang or criminal gang. New Jack's performance is definitely "worthy" of his name, and the crimes he has committed are simply too numerous to describe.
In 2004, New Jack played against a newcomer named William Jason Lane. At the beginning of the game, Lane, who did not know the severity of his attacks, gave New Jack several hard blows on the head. , these actions completely angered New Jack, the biggest villain in the wrestling world. New Jack took out a 20-centimeter-long Edge from his pocket and stabbed Ryan hard without any hesitation - you must know that this is not a special weapon used in wrestling matches, but a real thing with an edge! New Jack stabbed his opponent nine times in one blow, leaving Ryan dying in a pool of blood. Fortunately, this was just a game that took place in a minor league where there were not many spectators. Otherwise, it would have left a psychological shadow on countless people.
Follow-up: In the post-mortem interview, New Jack showed no remorse. He described the brutal act of stabbing the newcomer as if he were describing everyday life. After all, it was far from the cruelest thing he had ever done. But this time, New Jack did not escape punishment at first like before. He was prosecuted for aggravated assault and attempted murder. However, the naive victim Lane dropped the charges because New Jack promised that he would be his master. , to train his wrestling skills - I can only sigh, this world is so crazy, even mice become bridesmaids for cats! However, New Jack did not fulfill his promise. The incident was over and Ryan never even saw the shadow of New Jack. The outlaw in the wrestling ring continued his career as if nothing happened. A real-life GTA style wrestling career.
Who are the people in Lidao Mountain? Simply put, he is the father of Japanese wrestling. Without him, the entire Japanese wrestling industry may not exist. Many of the Japanese players we see in WWE now, such as Asuka, Yo Tozawa, etc., may not go into wrestling. And Zhongyi Zhensuke may really just become an old Chinese medicine doctor who specializes in treating pain in the balls. On February 18, 1954, Rikidozan defeated the American NWA heavyweight king "Iron Man" Danse in a match, which made the Japanese sushi-eating people who had been demoralized after the war realize: It turns out that the American father can be defeated by us, so the nation The spirit was lifted. Since then, Rikidoyama has become the spiritual pillar of many Japanese people. Therefore, he can also be said to be Japan's national hero. Not only that, on December 22, 1954, Rikidoyama, who was proficient in sumo wrestling, defeated Masahiko Kimura, the "strongest judoka in history" who had been undefeated in the Japanese judo world for 15 years in a practical match of "Sumo vs. Judo". This battle made him the most famous person in the wrestling world.
It is worth mentioning that this "real fight" game may be Rikidoyama's despicable betrayal of Kimura Masahiko. Kimura revealed the truth in 1983, saying that the two people, who had often been partners in wrestling shows, had made an appointment in advance that the match would be a draw, and then the two would go on multiple national tours to earn more money. In this way, Kimura can raise more funds to treat his wife's lung disease. Rikidoyama, on the other hand, had already planned to kill Kimura in the game, and established his status as a national superstar by defeating Kimura. After being betrayed, Kimura, whose reputation had been disgraced and whose life had hit rock bottom, was resentful and wanted to assassinate Rikidoyama. In the end, he stopped because of the mediation of the underworld gangs who were supporting them. The impact of this incident was far from over.
Nine years later, on December 8, 1963, Rikidozan was having fun at the Akasaka nightclub in Tokyo. While he was chatting with a woman, a guy named Katsushi Murata walked by and stepped on him. You know, this Murata is not an ordinary gangster. He is one of the important members of the gang at the time, the "Sumiyoshi Family". The Sumiyoshi family suffered heavy losses due to the match between Rikidozan and Kimura Masahiko nine years ago, and they are also competitors with the gang behind the scenes who have always supported Rikidozan. Originally, being stepped on was no big deal, but whether it was to maintain face in front of friends and women or something else, Rikidoyama insisted on asking Murata to apologize, but Murata firmly refused. The two had a dispute, and Murata took out a sharp knife that had been soaked in urine
Seeing that the momentum was not right, Rikidoyama immediately changed his words: "I understand, let's make up, I apologize!", this It was Murata's turn to quit, and then the verbal dispute between the two turned into a physical conflict. Lidoshan beat Murata violently with his hands. At one point, Murata was pushed against the wall, and then he was pressed to the ground and beaten until the sharp blade stabbed him. The abdomen...
Follow-up: Lidosan was sent to the hospital for rescue. The doctor said that the problem was not serious and that after the operation, he would just need to rest and pay attention to his diet. But after returning home, Rikidozan ignored the doctor's advice and even ate sushi and drank sake. While recuperating, a gang familiar with Rikidozan learned of the incident and followed Murata and took him to the hospital. Murata and his gang leader visited Rikidozan and apologized to him, which Rikidozan accepted. However, it all came too late. A week later, Rikidoyama's condition worsened and he underwent a second operation. However, he died of acute purulent peritonitis caused by abdominal perforation on December 15 at the age of 39. On the 20th, Rikidozan's funeral was held in Tokyo. More than 12,000 people, including celebrities from all walks of life in politics, film, television, and sports, came to bid farewell to Rikidozan, and the queue formed a long queue of more than 500 meters.
The murderer Murata was imprisoned for eight years for manslaughter. After he was released from prison, he became a leader of his gang. On every anniversary of Rikidoyama’s death, Murata would pay homage to Rikidoyama’s grave. I also often call Rikidoyama’s descendants to apologize. On April 9, 2013, Murata Katsushi died of natural causes.
In a word, a great wrestling legend died an untimely death, but the murderer got a good death.
