Nov 29 2009WTF Japan?: Fluorescent Tube Fighting

The last picture reminds me of a whale carcass that washed up onto a beach.

Not your best, but I had a chuckle.

Firstfag.

WTF,,,

That's all I can say

everyone in that stadium will die of mercury poisoning

this is a terrible idea, do you know how many green house gasses it releases? utterly terrible.

These guys are going to have very shorts lives after all that shit they are inhaling

by the way, the haircut really brings out the color in your BLOOD!

There are American wrestling companies that do this too. It's incredibly stupid, especially since half the guys that do it actually have some skill that's going to waste.

1st lol

FAKE CANDY GLASS TUBES ARE CANDY GLASS (PLEASE BE CANDY GLASS, WTF!)

@11
Then why the heck they're bleeding?

I really don't get Japan. Sure they make cool stuff but their sense of humour and fun is really twisted. I swear they put acid in water there, and everyone has been tripping out, thinking up these great ideas.

I dont understand...this has got to be one of the stupidest things ive ever seen
..WHYYY?

Some call it entertainment. I call it natural selection. Just saying.

Why incandescent lights are better: no mercury seepage into water supply (BUT FLORESCENT USE LESS 'LECTRICITY!!11), or these guys brains. Also this blood-wrestling looks like AIDS waiting to happen.

I completely blame the bomb. Whatever the hell seeped into their water/food/air supply...thoroughly fucked things up.

Of course...the rest of the world looks at half the shit that hits the int'l news out of the US and scratches their heads wondering wtf. Just sayin...

This is just the long term effects after a country has been nuked.

that is truly a frightening image...

This is old news. At least for me. The Japanese wrestling companies (and even the rare American one) have been doing this for years. I've seen this combined with barbed wire ropes and random firework traps set around the ring.

Awesome to watch, but awesometastic/slightly terrible to be in.

This stuff is old news. There's worst than this and it's not candi glass. Try a powerbomb from 10 feet up into 3 stacked tables and fluorescent lights everywhere, on fire with barbwire. People get 2 inch gashes of squirting blood everywhere.

Check out Abdullah the Butcher for example

That's nuts! I used to have to clean up broken tubes and that crap is noxious, especially with the powdered glass; a contact wearers nightmare!!!

WHAT THE FUCK

I'm pretty sure there is mercury in those bulbs. Enjoy a swift death.

Yes, this is even more hardcore when you consider that normal fluoro tubes are full of poisons that damage your lungs when inhaled, and these guys are practically bathing in them and rubbing them into their wounds. Wonder if mercury stings more than salt?

fake blood fake glass. fools

not fake glass.

numerous american and japanese companies run these matches.

kind of surprised to see it here, its been going on since 98 or earlier. youtube will turn up numerous disgusting injuries due to light tubes.

WTF Japan!! I won't add this to our to do list for our honeymoon in Japan this April. Sumo wrestling though, yes please. Also anime porn.

WHAT? AAAAAAAAH! how can.. why would someone... I don't understand people.

I think people who are this stupid, deserves some mercury...

haahahaha this is jokes
atleast this takes disproves the theory that all wrestling is fake and staged

Well the guy with the silver pants is called "Mad God" after all... or at least that's what his loin cloth thing says...

I keep flinching at the thought of it

This would get old really fast I think....

These are some of the funniest posts in a while. Their idea of a fighting costume should be required in all sports.

I saw shit like this when I was in grade 10.
Those guys were so smart. They founds those lights and started playing "starwars"
They also peed in cans and threw them on in eachother and lit slides on fire, then went down them. And threw fish at cars.
Way to go Japan for having the mental age of a 16 year old boy.

hhmmm just japan?

Japan = sick fucks

there is a reason why even the Nazi's back in WW2 got freaked out by the Japs during their Asian Holocaust towards Korea and China. Nazi = 12 million Jews
Japs = 22 million Korean and Chinese nothing to compare.

Japan!
How I love thee!

I think this is why there called a Death match :o\

@2 How you doin?

I was gonna forward this to a Japanese friend to ask the real deal, except the original article seems to have a big "Japanese are stupid" theme to it. Not necessarily racist, but certainly not something I'm gonna forward to a friend.

Anyway, my comment is this is crazy, and while the scars from the fight might heal, breathing in powdered glass, swallowing, or getting it in the eye would do permanent damage or kill someone... don't think I'd do this any time soon.

"Why incandescent lights are better: no mercury seepage into water supply "

Incandescent lights use more electricity, which generally comes from coal, which emits mercury into the atmosphere when burned, then ends up in our water and food.

It's my understanding that, over its lifetime, use of an incandescent winds up causing significantly more mercury to be released into the air than is released during generation of electricity to power an equivalent fluorescent over its lifetime, combined with the mercury contained within it. And in theory, a fluorescent could be recycled safely in a way that captures the mercury.

So, basically, an incandescent is worse, mercury-wise, even though it doesn't have any inside.

What would make this look cool would be if there was a giant van de graff generator or tesla coil or something under the ring, to make the bulbs light up without being connected to anything.

@39 Yeah and what about all the non-Jewish people the Nazi's killed, they don't count?

I love how so many people can let their racist bigotry come out when seeing these pics. "the latest fad"? I think you'll find it was a side freak show;

And as for the idea... its been stated above THEY GOT IT FROM AMERICA!! Hardcore wrestling/light tube wrestling is just another product of the crazy redneck culture breeding from the west, and emulated in the east.

like in 40-year-old virgin!

actually this probably started in japan with barbed wire many years ago.

and to Jon H #45, lit up light tubes has happened...

wut?

Not your best, but I had a chuckle.

This would be so much cooler if they lit up the tubes while fighting.

Go look up the procedure for cleanup after a flourescent lightbulb break...they now treat it as a reasonably serious hazmat problem.

And that's one bulb.

Yeah - I don't get japan either.
I imagine it's like living in a reality-T.V.-future-circus.

Too Stupid !!

sadly, my friends and i have smashed fluorescent bulbs on each other. it wasn't nearly this extreme though. i don't even know why we did it
