1st off DLR is a helluva storyteller. 2nd & more importantly, if half of you assholes actually STFU & listened to anything but yourselves complain, you might actually learn something! Rikidozan is the single most popular Japanese Athlete of All Time, BAR NONE! He is a Legend! His popularity is twice that of any American athlete in history. Just a legend! And his SHOOT is the most infamous in Wrestling History! Good on Roth for spending some time learning Japan.& its culture!

I used this story in my English class I have in Nakano. The elders were impressed that I knew this story. We were talking about national pride. I also used your " how to use shit and fuck" in the second part of my class . I threw in " dude" as well, since Im from SoCal. Thanks Dave for the knowledge.
