And why I'm still a fan.

Unfortunately this is the match that ended Shibata's career with a headbutt. You can skip to 37:30 to see it. Dude still finished the match, at the end you can see him start to black out while walking backstage. He later went into a coma for a bit and had to step down.

The point is this match had all the athletic drama you'd want out of anything resembling combat sports even though it's predetermined. The entire match is amazing from start to finish and gets super intense until the point most people are on the edge of their seat not knowing what's going to happen next. It's like a final confrontation at the end of an action movie.

There is an art to a lot of it if you venture away from things like the WWE and start looking at promotions that take it a bit more serious like New Japan where it's less drama and is treated more like an actual sport.

If you want to see even more craziness like this then watch the Kenny Omega vs. Okada saga that went on for 4 matches. That is pro wrestling at its highest caliber and probably some of the greatest matches of all time.
