Terry Funk vs. Atsushi Onita - FMW 1993
🕑 Added 2025-08-19 16:00:11 +0000 UTCI don't need to understand Japanese to understand blood and explosions! This was WILD. First experience with Japanese wrestling and I'm so intrigued. Thanks for the suggestion, SL Bacio!

Oh neat! Similar to some mixed language pro esports teams then

Wow that’s actually a really nice sentiment!

Re faces and heels - in Japan, where the audience views it much more as a sporting event, if you’re good they know it and will generally like you. They’d boo Funk against their favorites, but in a situation as insane as an Exploding Barbed Wire Mega Explosion Countdown Match, they’re both heroes really

Generally speaking, Japanese wrestlers are trained to call the next spot or sequence in a match in English, even if they’re not proficient at the language as a whole
