A funny story for you guys

Superman · Post by **Superman** » 2004-01-15 05:46pm

Ok, so my wife and I are in Japan. She is visiting her family, and I am wrestling on a Japanese circuit here in Tokyo. I come over here to wrestle a few times per year.

So, two nights ago I literally got my thick ass meat head rammed into a metal pole. It was during a match. So, my head burst open and blood started spilling everywhere. I was rushed out of arena immediately. I guess the closest thing to hospital was a children's clinic that was about 15 minutes away, only I didn't know that. I thought we were going to a hospital.

So I go into this place with my wife holding a towel on my head while blood is dripping all over my face and onto the floor. Up until then, people were talking. When I walked into the door, there was only silence. I looked around and noticed about twenty little Japanese kids staring at me like I was the Grimm Reaper or something. I guess they've never seen a 6'4", 265 pound white guy holding a towel on his bloody head. These kids were really freaked out. While my wife was talking to the desk lady in Japanese, I sat down. I tried to smile at some of the kids, but I must have looked pretty weird with the blood running and crusting over on my face. One Japanese woman even GOT UP and moved her child away from me. I was in pain, bleeding, and now felt like that one thing that didn't belong on 'Sesame Street.'

After the physician's initial shock, he numbed me up and gave me stitches. I am going to get a pick of this gash on my head and maybe post it. It's great.

Ouch...well that has to be one of the funkier receptions at a hospital waiting room.

I was seeing light and stars, felt like I was floating, but other than that, I think I'm as normal (abnormal) as ever...

You want to hear something really funny? Some of the heels (bad guys) I know routinely hit Japanese fans. The fans smile happily, bow and say 'thank you.' They act like they just kissed the Pope's ring or something. Doing that in the States gets you a million dollar law suit.

Now there's a unique contrast....truly fucked up.

It's the remnants of their caste system...

Yeah, last time I saw one guy I know walk into the ring. He stopped, turned around and approached a fan. This poor Japanese guy was probably about 5'5," 130 pounds and was beaming. He had a grin from ear to ear. The wrestler (who was about 6'5," 250) then punched him in the face, sending him to the ground. The good guy quickly ran over and started hitting the bad guy, thus saving the fan. The crowd, including the fan who got hit, went nuts. Everyone loves it. It's crazy.

If the two of you were ambassadors, we here at SDnet would call it a "diplomatic incident"

Poor sups, hope it heals.

How does this happen to a health-nut like our supes? I thought he prided himself on not putting foreign substances into his body, getting it all toxilized and stuff? Well, I DARESAY Stainless steel cannot be good for ones health and it SURE doesn't belong crainially subcutaneous! (Like how I sounded all Scienc-y and stuff?

)

Wait, this is a funny story... how?

Japanese kids being freaked out by a tall Anglo-Saxon is nothing new. Especially if you were bleeding.

I know the elementary kids were freaked out by my 6'2" friend when we visted their school.

If you can't see the humor in this, then I don't know what to say. I laugh at myself all the time.

DPDarkPrimus · Post by **DPDarkPrimus** » 2004-01-15 10:48pm

Well, of course it's humorous to you. You were there.

HemlockGrey · Post by **HemlockGrey** » 2004-01-15 10:50pm

I find it funny. In 4th grade I still towered over half the people there.

Well, not quite. But you get my drift.

DPDarkPrimus, are you Spanky in disguise? Everyone else thought it was funny...

It would've been funnier if instead of smiling you did a death-metal growl-scream at them, wide eyed.

...And watched as your brain spilled out and splattered on the floor.

He's just been picking up some Spanky like attributes while the real Spanky was busy during the holidays.

It could just be something in the water in the Cedar Rapids area.
