>>14585339>For whatever reason, Inoki didn't much care for him and kept him in the midcard.You know that NJPW dojo death that always shows up on those wrestling Iceberg images? Yeah that is a reference to Sasaki killing a trainee in 1995. Evidentially the trainee, Gompei, was slacking during training and when Sasaki yelled at him to put in effort Gompei ignored him. So Sasaki took him to suplex city and sawdusted the guy into the grave.
