It's also worth pointing out that Tank-Matua was definitely the first mainstream appearance of this.
I distinctly remember watching it live and thinking that Matua had a seizure or something - I had no frame of reference as to what happens when your brain gets scrambled like that.
Nowadays I feel like people get into the sport accepting it as table stakes, but back in the day it wasn't a known thing until Tank made it a thing. (You'd definitely see knockouts in boxing but I never saw it while a guy's arms were outreached and Youtube wasn't a thing yet.)
Just Bleed Era UFC was great,
