The fucking man himself. I am defiantly going to be a lot a here about Onita because he is one of my all time favorites. As well, bit of a fun fact he was supposed to be the ace of All Japan pre-Four/Five Pillars of Heaven era, but due to injury he left and changed up his style and brought the Hardcore/Deathmatch style that he saw in the Southern States to Japan as no one else was doing.

I'm in!

 

[Bobby Barrows]

The thing about Onita is that despite being a garbage deathmatch wrestler he was actually an extremely gifted wrestler much akin to Terry Funk. Definitely worthy of respect in that regard, even if I disagree with the entire deathmatch ideology.

 

[Alexa]

The fact in 2021 I could see Jon Moxley v Nick Cage II, Onita vs Tremont II, and now Onita v Moxley w/h Mick as ref is really awesome.
