This could be the most one-sided fight since 1973 when Ali faced an eighty-foot tall mechanical Joe Frazier. My memory isn't what it used to be, but I think the entire Earth was destroyed.

Yes.

Another underappreciated gnarly forehead is Puerto Rican promotor Carlos Colon. Not coincidentally, he feuded a lot with Abby in absolute bloodbaths in an era before Hepatitis or HIV were things you worried about.

Also, if you've never seen Abdullah Kobayashi (or honestly a lot of death match dudes, but I think he's among the worst), look for a clip of him & look at his back. He's so badly scarred up from light tubes & barbwire & goodness knows what else that his back looks like it has the consistency of sandpaper.

my personal favourite hosed up back deathmatch guy is Shunma, who looks very cute and sweet from the front and like he's been torn up by a weekwacker on the back.

I teach sociology in a high school class. Yesterday, I was explaining to them how norms differ from culture to cultures. I used handshakes in wrestling as my example.

This led to a discussion about blading and the students could not understand taking any job where you were paid to cut yourself.

Well yeah, that is the correct response to learning how wrestling actually works. It's loving ridiculous, and needlessly dangerous, and wrestlers aren't smart people. Also, blood can really elevate the drama of a match if used well and often looks real cool. I'm a hypocrite.

There's always good old Jos LeDuc when it comes to gnarly foreheads.



He was a regular on Mid-Atlantic TV in the early 80s and apparently it was a-ok to just beam out a scarred up bloody guy like that.

He had the very briefest of runs in the WWF in the late 80s (like, one or two matches) as "Headbanger" Jos LeDuc, where his gimmick was he'd get DQ'd because he wouldn't stop headbutting his unconscious opponent.

One kid asked if anyone ever cut themselves wrong and hurt themselves. I showed them clips of Eddie Vs JBL and all they could say was “THEY DID THIS ON PURPOSE! WHAT THE HELL?”

When I told them that moments like this make people notice them so wrestlers do stuff like this to get to the top where there is more money.

A student said that that would be like him blading at his job at Dunkin Donuts to get a raise. I told him that it would be more like him being willing to stick his hand in a fryer or oven to show how dedicated he was to the job.

Kids do not understand how to make it in the world today.

If they're students they're probably too young to remember Jackass, but is there a modern equivalent on tiktok or something?

Not so much "still" as they managed to convince the studio that they could make another after 11 years and still have it be funny.

Very occasionally getting a small cut on your forehead is leagues safer than getting even a single concussion. It’s also much cooler and looks badass.
