#3 My Encounter with Pro-Wrestling
✨My “encounter” with Jushin Thunder Liger changed my life‼️
This time, I’d like to talk about how I started watching pro-wrestling!!
I first encountered pro-wrestling about seven years ago. It started when I stumbled upon a video on YouTube that looked like a mixed martial arts match. (*It’s no longer uploaded now🙏)
The match at that time was between the red-masked wrestler Jushin Thunder Liger and Masashi Aoyagi, who was wearing a karate gi. I vividly remember watching that video out of pure curiosity about who would win.
🔥The moment I felt a shock “beyond the outcome”
I remember that Jushin Thunder Liger won, but I still can’t forget the shocking memory of being blown away by the content of the match even more than the win or loss.
During the match, Aoyagi tried to rip off Liger’s mask, and Liger endured and defended against it, which gradually triggered his wrath. In the next round, Liger ripped off the mask himself, which flipped a switch of anger, leading to intense attacks and moves. Eventually, Aoyagi started bleeding, his karate gi was stained with red blood, the referee stopped the match, and Liger won.
I still vividly remember how scary Liger was. Afterward, he was incredibly angry backstage about the mask being ripped off, which made me wonder who this masked man really was, and I started searching for Jushin Thunder Liger.
＿＿
This has become a long story, but this is the event that led me to start watching pro-wrestling. Since then, I started watching every single one of Liger’s pro-wrestling videos on YouTube📱
Liger is a wrestler with a diverse range of moves, including aerial moves, joint locks, and throwing techniques, showing he has many tricks up his sleeve.
He performed many dangerous moves, such as dropping opponents vertically on their heads or dropping them from the corner onto the ring. At first, I was resistant to watching it, but I started to become more and more interested in pro-wrestling, thinking that such flashy and dangerous moves could never be seen in other martial arts or sports.
“Is pro-wrestling scary❓”
Conclusion: It’s not scary once you get used to it! In fact, it’s absolutely amazing!
When I first started watching pro-wrestling, I used to wonder, “How can pro-wrestlers stand up after taking such dangerous moves?” and “How are they still alive after receiving such intense attacks?” I think everyone is resistant to watching it at first.
But it’s okay. Pro-wrestlers are “superhumans”!💪
The more you watch, the more you’ll understand their superhuman nature lol
Nowadays, if you have a smartphone, you can burn the way pro-wrestlers live into your memory. Of course, the intensity is even higher if you go to the venue. Even if you’re watching pro-wrestling for the first time and don’t know the rules, the greatness, wonder, and fun will definitely come across!

Liger, the first pro-wrestler I ever saw when I didn’t even know the rules of pro-wrestling, wasn’t tall (about 170cm) but had a sturdy, thick body and defeated many people. Not only his moves but also his behavior and attitude were cool. Although he is now retired, he is one of the legendary wrestlers in the pro-wrestling world.
Recently, he has been appearing on various variety shows and working on his own YouTube channel.
He is very mischievous and loves to joke around, so he is very entertaining😆
【Finally】
Everyone, how was my story about encountering pro-wrestling?
I would be happy if people who don’t know much about pro-wrestling or aren’t interested in it read this story and think, “Maybe I’ll try watching pro-wrestling.”
It’s thanks to Liger that I’ve been able to encounter pro-wrestling now. I haven’t met him even once yet, so I’d be happy if the day comes when I can meet him♪
There is no doubt that wonderful encounters await you by watching pro-wrestling. Also, you can get energized and relieve daily stress!
Why don’t you experience a world view that you can’t taste in daily life through pro-wrestling?
This time, I talked about my encounter with pro-wrestling. There are still many more wrestlers I want to introduce and more of Liger’s greatness to share.
I hope to introduce them little by little at a later date.
Thank you for reading until the end.
