And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Oh gently caress Naya's grandfather is Taiho who is legit an actual legend and before Hakuho was the most often name fot eh greatest sumo wrestler ever (apart from discussions on Raiden)

there was a match between CM Punk and Colt Cabana on a random indie that was an iron man match but they forgot who was up in pins so they did the pin/reverse pin rolling spot except they let Cabana get the pins and by the end it was something like Cabana won the match 18-7.
