i know that Lou Thesz wrestled Rikidozan in Japan, but why is it that Lou gets copied by the Japanese so much? I know Karl Gotch is the god of wrestling in Japan. what about Lou? is he a god of wrestling in Japan?

of course, you actually know what I'm really trying to say. but I'm not going to say it! i know what you people on these boards are truly thinking what I'm thinking!

Maybe it was the fact that when wrestling Rikidozan for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship in Japan all his matches ended 60 minute draws.
Or, just maybe this all happened fucking 1957 and nobody cares or remembers.
