Japan knows what the fuck is up.
They know pro wrestling isnt real. They know the dangers and the risks and especially appreciate the legit toughness that they show. So when guys like Fujita,and Sakuraba and Takayama etc fight in MMA,the fans of BOTH mma and pro wrestling (which are mostly the same,just like the USA,just not afraid to admit it) all admire these guys for getting in there when they dont have to. Guys like Takayama going out there and fighting Don Frye,he goes back to pro wrestling,and they admire him more,and he makes even more money,cos they know,that in a life or death situation,the guy gave it his all and showed bravery. The bravery is what they appreciate,and pro wrestlers are brave,wether they go into mma or not,cos it is a very hard job,and crippling injuries can happen at any time. These fans dont pretend they are smarter than the fighters and the wrestlers. Just respect.
Esp when you go out there and try to please the real jaded fans,who aint even trying to like it,and you make them react. Theres a legit mastery to get heat out of a crowd. I love it.
esp dudes do it without speaking,and only body language.
best sport ever.

Sometimes MMA is too limiting.
