Kimura outweighed Helio Gracie by more than 80 pounds when they fought in 1951

Kimura was a physical specimen, a slab of muscle

It annoys me that Rikidozan is revered so much. I don't understand why fake wrestlers get put over when they shoot on someone. Attacking someone for real when they agreed to a scripted spectacle is a dirtbag move for cowards.
Much like the lotion cheating, wrinkled orange Akiyama, Rikidozan was Korean.
 
I didn't see anyone mention that Kimura said Helio was the real winner, handed him the championship belt and committed seppuku because he never tapped out.
