@davemeltzerWON I think it's a case of wrestling being brought in by Americans and Japan interpreting it through the lens of what they already knew, which was sumo. Rikidozan was a sumo guy originally, a lot of aspects of puro culture like loyalty to your trainers are clearly sumo influenced.

Can't show you more than that, cause of woke
@Patrick_W_Reed I'm currently rewatching a bunch of early ROH with one of my friends who's never seen them and I had to explain Rocky Romero using the Lady of the Lake spot. Went as well as you'd expect.
Hate when you hire a shady mercenary in a tavern by throwing them a leather purse of gold coins they never give you the purse back. Im getting fucking murdered on leather purses here
