World Entertainment Wrestling "YEEAHHH! Slam em into the barbed wires! SLAM Him again! Oooh, F*CK he's bleeding. Ahhh, ha ha ha!" Stress relief. I never thought watching "PuroResu" (professional wrestling) would be so much fun, but was I wrong. I often ridiculed pro wrestling, because watching it on TV .. it seemed so phony. Play fighting. My friend made the point, "Movies are phony, but nobody says so, it's entertainment". I'm in the school of if a movie looks too fake or full of bad actors, then the movie sucks. Watching professional wrestling on TV, to me, seems so fake that's why I never really got into it. Maybe numbed by the "real fighting" at the K-1s or UFCs. Going to a live professional wrestling match changed my view. The excitement in the room, and watching these huge "actors" perform crazy stunts was entertaining. No, it was friggin AWESOME. We went to a lunch session with interesting matches including a Go Ranger look alike vs. some monster, and florescent light "Death Match". After our first session we headed straight for our second round on the other side of Tokyo. So did all the wrestlers. Both sessions were an education for me about "Indies" (term for Independant .. non-major). There aren't that many performers that can HANDLE the CRAZINESS @ the INDIES. Please enjoy the photos and videos (now in Quicktime format). Movies (Quicktime 320x240 stream from Playstream): flip off of a corner post - even the skinny guys got into the action. the heated crowd - the Uber-fan is in the photo below .. can u find him and hear him chanting in the video. slammed by the ladder - doh! failure to dive off of ladder - this looks bad. BAD. Itai yoo! Mama! start of the florescent light "Death Match" - he's bleeding, Yeah! head first into the lights - oh my god .. did you see that! Here's a link to background info regarding the World Entertainment Wrestling. 2:07:14 AM    comment []
