Two facts about Rikidozan. a) He was really Korean, but he hid this until after he died because of STRONG anti-Korean sentiment in Japan. b) He was fatally stabbed in the bathroom of a nightclub he owned by a Yakuza gangster. Even wounded, he kicked the guy's ass.

The late great King of men , Mr Showman "Freddie the classic Freddie Blassie.

Freddie was one of the top ten of all time.
