foreclosures Japanese wrestling, sometimes called Japan Pro Wrestling, is a relatively recent arrival in Japan when compared to its more ancient counterpart Sumo wrestling. As an adaptation of standard American pro wrestling, Japan Pro Wrestling wrestling never really kicked off in its home country until RikidMzan made it big by inspiring his countrymen right after World War II. From then on, the sport practically snowballed into a national sport that saw the rise and stay of professional wrestling in the Japanese culture.

Being the ‘left-wing’ style of wrestling, combat (or shoot) wrestling incorporates moves you would rarely see on American wrestling: kicks and punches accompany a wrestler’s plethora of moves; aiming primarily to create a ‘fight’ rather than a ’show’ to its fans. This makes combat wrestling a notch more dangerous and realistic than its flashier and more dramatic counterpart.

Another story that has become legendary is Eklund’s visit several years after retirement to a workout in Oklahoma with the NCAA national wrestling championship team (Oklahoma A & M) for that year. The coach had invited Eklund down to review the team’s progress.

Eklund walked around nodding appropriately when he saw something he liked. After awhile the Coach asked him if he’d like to have a workout. “Sure” Eklund said, “Line them up”. The coach was astonished at this for he had only been suggesting a workout for Eklund with one of his lighter wrestlers; after all Eklund was in mid-40’s and had been retired for years. Nevertheless he did as Eklund asked.

In the space of 15 minutes, 45 year old Clarence Eklund pinned every member of the national championship team, from the lightest to the heaviest. The heavyweight last the longest taking Eklund around 2 minutes to pin. Now, imagine a wrestler walking in today and pinning every member of the Oklahoma State wrestling team, or Iowa, or Minnesota, and you’ll begin to get an idea of the technical mastery of wrestling’s Octopus. Eklund was the king of scientific wrestling.

The End Result
Neither side of pro wrestling in Japan actually ‘won’ as time passed. In fact, the lines differentiating both styles of Japan Pro Wrestling blurred; resulting in a style of wrestling that is uniquely Japanese in nature.

Watching most American pro wrestling matches is like watching a noontime soap drama - except with more muscles and testosterone attached. Japan Pro Wrestling is a bit more different: the matches are designed as actual wrestling matches with a very real interest in victory rather than some fabricated personal agenda for the wrestlers.

Even the energy of the matches is different - Japan Pro Wrestling has a more competitive and edgy feel to it than its American counterpart. This edgy feel is not generated by the fluff surrounding the matches, but by the wrestlers themselves as they duke it out for the titles. It would be really convincing if you didn’t know from the beginning that the matches were scripted all the same You can be published without charge.
