Most JP wrestlers of that era actually trained in actual legitimate Shoot Fighting which is basically early MMA before UFC.

That's true but it's very easy to transition from using the real moves and submissions they learned to use in a work to an actual real fight.

Misawa wasn't at All Japan though. Can't speak for AJPW of that era but Misawa did have legitimate amateur wrestling background as well as being trained by Lou Thesz who was a legitimate competitive wrestler.

Jumbo was a legit Olympian and guys like Tenryu and Taue had impressive Sumo backgrounds. The only shoot style guy they pushed was Gary Albright.

Misawa is literally 1 of the 4 pillars with Kawada, Taue, and Kobashi. He was Tiger Mask 2. He spent years in AJPW. Wtf are you talking about.

Nobody would disagree with this, but people equating that with "Taue is bad" are fucking retarded. If you watch his initial feud with Kawada or the Miracle Run '95 and still think he's "bad" you shoot know jack shit fuck all about wrestling.

This is my go to watch because it’s interesting and not because it is good matches. It’s from either the first or second zero 1 show. Misawa completely changes his moves to accommodate the “hybrid” style and Rikio manages to make sumo look like both a legit martial art and has a great comeback using it. Rikio may not have been the star NOAH had hoped but there’s a huge misconception in the west about his ability. He was incredibly talented and had many great performances.
