Japanese Neon Lamp Fights

quote;You have to hand it to the Japanese, they know violence sells and they market it like no other country can.

But this has to be the dumbest sport in history, two fat guys pounding each other with neon-rods until theyâ??re both soaked in blood? I have no idea what this sport is called or who came up with the idea, but apparently itâ??s very popular in the Land of the Rising Sun, despite itâ??s obvious stupidity. Iâ??d rather watch some K1 or UFC any day, this is just like wrestling only with real blood.

I wonder if those lamps are mercury freeâ?¦if theyâ??re not, do the fat guys know they could die from mercury poisoning?end quote;

wtf???

I went to one of these live in Tokyo, paid a fortune for the tickets.

They use tacks too. Lots and a lots of tacks. And fire. And bats.

Freaking crazy.

Imagine being the doctor responsible for cleaning them up after the fight. Shrapnel everywhere.

WTF is right! Thats so dumb…but I would pay to see that :wink:

holy shit, seems like the japanese gets fuckn crazier by the second

Who comes up with this? Better yet who thinks, “I wanna become a lamp fighter”

Are those neon lamps special-made for this dumb event? I ask this because typical neon lamp is filled with mercury vapor…

They need amber lamps.

Btw,this shit is not new. They been doing this for years in America. Its called “Backyard Wrestling” here.

Sure it’s stupid as hell but some of that wrestling was actually pretty entertaining,
