Handicapped Wrestling The Japanese company Dog Legs organizes these matches. At the events, they have handicapped vs. handicapped, handicapped vs. non-handicapped, and handicapped vs. artificially handicapped. First link has many images, so it might load slow. Second link might not be that useful to many, since its with japanese text and without pictures.

I view this kind of thing as empowering for those involved, win or lose. Others might view it as exploitive, reminiscant of the Coney Island freak shows.

  • Japanese culture report by MasaManiA with fucking photo & poor English you never seen at boring CNN, Time or major sophisticated jurnalism. Yes, that's true.
  • MasaMania is one of me all-time favourite sites, and the way this guy expresses himself in English blows me away. I absolutely love it. Something about its "Earnest, earnest, motherfucker! Earnest, fuck! earnest." structure makes me very happy.
  • is this kind of like Iron Chef?
