Yeah they're taken from this poster:



That's a lineup of most of the big important people from the old Japanese fighting promotion Pride. A lot of us were fond of the fighters on the poster so we figured we'd take them and use them as avatars. I'm Paulo "It's Not Rape if You Do It To Yourself" Filho.

And then you paired it with Steely Dan lyrics. You're a man of distinguished taste.

I know that in UFC and other MMA promotions, there's a rule against manipulation of small joints like fingers, etc. I know there are plenty of good reasons for it and I'm honestly afraid to find out, but... is there precedent for this poo poo happening in the ring? :ohdear:

Holy poo poo, there are sequels? I haven't seen those anywhere, are they just numbered titles, or are they called something different?

Return to the 36th Chamber, and Disciples of the 36th Chamber.

I've never seen Disciples. I know what I'm doing tonight.

Speaking of pro wrestling questions, I'm pretty familiar with Sakuraba, but did he have any background besides not realizing pro wrestling is fake?

Sakuraba is an All-Japan and a New Japan wrestler

I know you're going for the AJPW/All-Japan joke, but I can't let his UWFi work go unnoticed here.

Sakuraba was a once-in-a-lifetime genius, and about 90% of PRIDE booking was trying to reproduce him.

That and seeing if he could survive getting hit by trucks, apparently.
