>>16710709The funny thing is Dr. Death would've probably done very well if the rules weren't so fucked and he wasn't 40+ and sawdusted beyond your wildest dreams.
As shown here
>>16712328 where he is even older and literally HAS CANCER during the fight, you can tell he has no knees left. He can't shoot for a takedown, and it's not that he doesn't know how to shoot for a takedown -- he's a D1 NCAA champion runner up -- he just can't do it anymore because his knees are blown and destroyed.
Really the whole thing was pretty sad.
But at least it kind of has a happy ending, as the DR DEATH vs. MIKE BARTON (Bart Gunn) REVENGE MATCH ended up main eventing and selling out the Tokyo Dome a few years later because Dr Death was still extremely well liked in Japan where he was dimes.
