Enson Inoue in Jail since May

[Mike]

There is nothing hypocritical about that and the question is legitimate.

Nothing hypocritical? Enson got arrested for drugs yet you sound high.


Strange.

 

[Mike]

Shrooms are awesome thats why.

The guy's been through alot and he may micro dose to help him get through

A culture that is still putting people in jail for recreational drugs is backwards as fuck. Even America is finally figuring this shit out. Punishing people for seeking out physical and mental pain relief WILL NOT make them stop seeking that relief.

It's stupid.

1000%

I have depression, anxiety, ptsd, etc. and for most of my life I had to go to a shady drug dealers house to try to get simple ass weed so I can try to sleep without havin nightmares and sleep paralysis and shit. In my 20's I had to dodge offers of coke, crack, oxy's, meth, and all manner of shit I was barely smart enough to know would kill me. Now? I can just pop on down to the corner store and they have everything listed by type and strain and cbd levels for pain relief and shit. And nobody is raising pitbulls for fighting rings or having random gangbangers do a home invasion while I'm trying to buy weed. It's all above board. I pay my taxes and drive on home and deal with my joint pain and anxiety.


A joint for a joint I always say. Some countries need to figure this stuff out. Because people are just 1 billion% not going to stop doing drugs. I'm the most boring and safe dude imaginable and even I do drugs.

 

[IDGETKTFO]

That’s fair. But even if he didn’t it would have resulted in the same outcome..

Im going to look at it as a safety issue. A child is more likely to eat a candy bar then some smelly dried mushrooms. Therefore it should be considered a worse offence.

Yeah it's rough out here. If he was legit drug smuggling I could see but 4 chocolate bars? You are prosecuting this middle aged man for attempting to get buzzed, watch a movie, and go to sleep.

Enson got arrested for drugs while Takada is doing great in life. Enson should have aspired to be more like Takada even back then. It could have taught him a lesson or two about responsible behaviour when an entire MMA organization and the ability of its employees to put food on their tables relies on you.

Sounds like you equate drug use with immorality but that would be dumb so I'm gonna assume you mean something else.

 

[DreyDay]

Yup.

Also, FOUR chocolate bars with magic powder in them. Four. Yeah, real hotshot drug dealer there. He's gonna get the entire Yakuza high and/or become a multi-millionaire with that kind of haul!

P.S. But let's not keep our shitting-on only reserved for Japan. My brother was facing 23 YEARS in prison for buying magic mushrooms for his rugby team's party (from an already-caught snitch who had a plea deal with the police to catch 20+ other "dealers" in order to get a softer sentence).

Bro you are trying to catfish me with this ad or should I sign up?

 

[blaseblase]

If this is how serious Japan is, a little bit of pot lands you a month in prison and a few bars potentially 2 years, WHY would you fuck around?? Especially when you've already failed to do this once... Just get high outside the country

Why live in Japan in the first place? He's an American citizen, he can live where weed and psychedelics are legal.

You have to be really ignorant and/or stupid to be buying/transferring that amount of drugs. At that point you're indisguishable from a dealer.

Takada was far from some benevolent boss.

Takada also treated Sakuraba like shit and effectively stole from him. You'd assume the biggest star of PRIDE would get paid well, he did not get paid well at all. Saku wasn't the only one that happened to. He was basically Don Kinging the Takada Dojo guys.

There were more details to why Enson doesn't like Takada. It wasn't just he wouldn't fight, and wouldn't defend his friend. It was compounded how Takada was basically a bully, put on this front that he was a complete badass and wouldn't even use his clout to even protect his friend, regardless of fighting.

Though Enson does some stupid shit, he's done a lot of very good things. I mean risking your health and life to go into a biohazard zone to save abandoned dogs is nothing to sneeze at.

I can understand disliking Enson but putting Takada ahead of him in any regard, I disagree with.

 

[acannxr]

There is nothing hypocritical about that and the question is legitimate.

Not helping your friend who is being attacked and then questioning fighters' manhood is most certainly hypocritical (it's also not a legitimate question).

Takada was a professional wrestler and before he had the M. Bison gimmick in Hustle, being a stoic and serious tough guy was his gimmick. How Enson can blame him for not portraying his gimmick in real life i cannot understand. I also was never on Sakurabas side with his entire Takada beef. Takada is responsible for the UWFi existing AND for Pride FC existing, so by virtue of that alone Takada has done more for Sakurabas carreer than anybody else ever. It was Sakurabas own decision not to join Pancrase but going to and also staying in Takadas promotions.

Granted, i'm going to defend Takada (who is my all time favorite fighter) no matter what but just based on anything i've heard Enson Inoue tell about him, none of the slurs he called Takada were justified in my opinion.

I though Sakuraba didn't even know he was getting money withheld until pride was at least in the double digits, I could be wrong.

Thats part of Went he went to K1

I completely agree that Sakuraba would not have been as big as he was if not for Takada.
I still think Sakuraba shouldn't have been shorted as he did.

I also get the puroresu gimmick. And yeah, Pride doesn't exist without UWFi for sure.

I'm sure there is one thing we can agree on, "Money is the root of all evil"

 

[Pechan]

Japan can be so fucking backwards about some shit, imagine putting someone in jail because of chocolates with mushrooms.

That said if you want to get high don't fucking do it in asia.

It's pretty normal in japanese pro-wrestling to pay performers as little as it takes to get them to show up. In all fairness, that also has something to do with the fact that almost no japanese pro-wrestling organization was ever profitable or financially sustainable and mostly relied on money from the types of "investors" who are missing a pinky finger. So usually the wrestler who had to answer to the "investors" got a disproportional amount of money. That's the same thing that happened when The Great Sasuke lost all his wrestlers who left Michinoku Pro and ended up forming Osaka Pro Wrestling

The only one i have ever heard who suggested the boss to pay the performers well was Karl Gotch giving advice to Fujiwara in the Kamisama documentary.

containing psilocybin

Oh damn. Not smart to fly that stuff but still who cares? Is not like was harming somebody. Fuck you Japan.. but if those are the laws Enson should have know it better.

BTW.. I'm actually waiting to get a call to do a psilocybin retreat in november or december... I thought it was illegal but the organizers openly talked about it, put it all in writing and even told me that they accept transfers lol. And no.. I'm not getting kidnapped or anything.. some people close to me already did it.
