Who else is looking forward to this one? It's a tragic story to be sure, but it looks like it's being handled with some tasteful artistry.
I am! Looks intense. I grew up with wrestling. Dad was a career military man and an old-school ("Bulldog" Bob Brown) fan of wrestling. My closest brother and I used to have lengthy wrestling matches. I wrestled in high school as a result, earned my letterman's jacket. I had the good fortune of witnessing Harold Sakata, https://moviechat.org/nm0757138/Harold-Sakata, live in a pro wrestling match as a teenager in Hawaii. He was using karate moves long before MMA ever became a thing.
shareLucky you, seeing Sakata live in the ring!
My dad wrestled (greco-roman and freestyle) for decades, so inevitably I was wrestling up until grad school. While he's critical of the pageantry and spectacle of pro wrestling, he does acknowledge the athleticism on display.
