He was a pretty big asshole. Shot and doublecrossed some guy. Was acting like an asshole that led to him getting stabbed.

He wasn't, he was a famous judoka who pushed Helios Gracie's shit in. The yakuza thought Rikidozan had peaked and decided the judoka should be the next top guy, so Rikidozan shot on him in a match. I think he punched him in the throat and started stomping on his head when he went down.

Kimura may not have been a member of the yakuza but he may have been in debt to them. The only reason Kimura got into pro wrestling was to make money to pay for his wife's medical expenses.

>Rikidozan was a bully who hated any American who couldn't make him money. He was on drugs & alcohol & loved to bash Americans or anyone weaker than he. He was killed as a result of a knife wound that he received in a fight on 12-8-63 at the New Latin Quarter, a famous night stop in Tokyo. It was not a mob hit. Rikidozan had more than just mob connected, he was part of a gang & a member of the yakuza. Organized crime financed JWA in those days. On the night he was stabed he was sitting around throwing coasters at a black american band, drunkenly yelling "Neeruro go homu. Sonnabeech".
