>>5007747Hogan went over Inoki in a shoot to become the first IWGP Champion. He legitimately knocked Inoki the fuck out with a smack to the jaw and left them with no choice but to count him out.
Ricky Leatherface and Cpl Kirchner (as Super Leather) tried to kill Hiroshi Ono at the behest of Onita during a hardcore match. It was one of those wacky Japanese deathmatches with nail boards everywhere and towards the end of the match Kirchner breaks off a piece of the boards, puts it on Ono's throat and leg drops him. Ricky Leatherface also throws a larger portion of the nail board on top of Ono and does a couple splashes on him. The exact reasons are unknown but speculation is that Ono was kind of a pussy that didn't want to take any crazy bumps but was fine with the other guy getting mangled. His career was 100% destroyed by this since the only thing that saved his life was Dick Slater and another gaijin running in to the ring to break it up.
Terry Funk would whip his dick out and piss whenever he wanted in Japan, apparently finding the height of most trash cans there perfect for using as a urinal.
Rikidozan was actually a Zainichi Korean and was stabbed to death with a piss soaked knife because he worked himself into a shoot over being ethnically Japanese and started burying Koreans.
Keiji Mutoh and The Great Muta are allegedly the same person.
Tiger Jeet Singh worked his gimmick 24/7 in Japan and cut off part of some Yakuza's nose in an actual sword fight that broke out after a show. Singh had legitimately trained as a fencer during his time as an officer in the Indian military and completely schooled the Kendo dropout that challenged him.
