Just learned that Shibata killed a nigga in the ring in 2000. Pic related suffered a brain hemorrhage after an elbow. RIP Gook-san we barely knew ya
Why didn’t they just put his brain back in?
>>20139136the technology wasn't there yet
>>20139125Katsuyori Shibata vs Rey Mysterio in a deathmatch when?
>>20139125>Naito's taunt involves stretching his eyelids apart cuz spics were being racist to him, becomes blind>Tana and Mutoh adopt the dragon screw, 0 good knees between the 2 of them>Austin breaks Chono's neck with a piledriver, Owen Hart breaks his neck with the exact same piledriver>Shibata kills a man via brain hemorrhage, almost dies from too many headshots and not enough waterAm I missing anyone else?
>>20139125In the 2000s a bunch of young lions got murdered in Japanese dojos and it was all memory holed because the Japanese think it's rude to look into it
>>20139245i'm so convinced that austin and vince conspired to kill owen as revenge. one of the true wrestling conspiracy theories.
>>20139248Why are they like this?
>>20139253I doubt Austin would be involved with that. But Vince? Sure. The wrestler that I think helped is none other than Triple H. He is the machiavellian enough to do it on his own too, even moreso than Vince.It's easy to forget now, but after Bret left WWF, Owen got over big time. He was, by far, out popping DX (Shawn and Hunter). They tried to bury his momentum with a short feud with Shawn that he won. But even in 1998 Owen was getting good reactions. And Owen was always 10x the wrestler than Triple H has ever been. And everyone liked Owen while wrestlers will talk about what a snake Triple H was (and still is), although some pretend otherwise due to his power today. Triple H in 1998 was not that popular. In fact, he was the LEAST over member of the DX Army if you take the time to go back and watch. New Age Outlaws were crazy over, and even X-Pac was more over than Triple H at that time.Even when Owen was pulling double duty as the Blue Blazer in 1999, there were rumors this was all building to a gimmick change. That gimmick? The Game. It's a gimmick that makes more sense for Owen Hart than for Triple H. Owen is a much better wrestler after all. And Owen actually had the history of messing with opponents and doing what it takes to win for the gimmick to make sense. Triple H had to force it by stealing Test's heat during the Stephanie-Test love angle in summer of 1999, and then with the "forced" marriage.And let's not forget that Triple H (and Shawn) hated Bret Hart. I think Triple H still does because I don't think he ever forgets a grudge. The man is a narcissist and likely a sociopath too. My theory is that Triple H orchestrated the death of Owen Hart. It makes more sense than Austin doing it, since Austin only got MORE over after the neck injury and also Austin was and still is a very close friend of his brother Bret.
>>20139743I shoot believe all of this although when talking about 98 DX you forgot to mention>Triple H wasn't over, Chyna was>Chyna is also deadreally activates the almonds don't you think?
>>20139231Throw Khaki in
>>20139245Owens turns heel, new gimmick is he piledrives niggas, few months later he's out of action indefinitely because his own neck is fucked
Katsuyori Shibata was a Japanese professional wrestler who suffered internal bleeding in his brain after delivering a brutal headbutt during a match in 2017. He underwent emergency surgery for a traumatic brain injury in which doctors at the University of Tokyo Hospital removed his brain and put it back in.After the surgery, when Shibata finally woke up, he was barely able to speak. The doctors couldn't understand him at first, until they realized that Shibata only was able to speak English and French. When the doctors asked Shibata in English was his name was, he responded with "Chris." When the doctors asked what year it was, Shibata responded with "2007."Shibata did recall that he was a professional wrestler and had been one since 1985. But Katsuyori Shibata was born in 1979, and only would have been five or six years old at the time. Doctors initially thought that Shibata was deeply confused as a side effect of the surgery. Until one of the interns noticed that a brain in the freezer, which they had intended to use for research, was missing. The brain that went missing? It was labeled "Chris Benoit."
