Whether you consider wrestling a sport or not, it’s hard to deny the spectacle of it. And while the WWE has plenty of showmen, Japan’s DDT Pro Wrestling is apparently in a league of it’s own.
Take this match between Danshoku Dino and Joey Ryan for example. The former fighter goes for the (literally) underhanded tactic of grabbing his opponent below the belt. Ryan, however, is unscathed and simply begins to flex his muscles. Overwhelmed by what we can only assume is Ryan’s masculinity, Dino begins to scream with pain before throwing himself to the mat in defeat.
It might not be the pinnacle of athletic achievement, but it sure is something else.
