One of the more surreal moments of recent years in wrestling has been the appearance of Atsushi Onita on mainstream U.S. television hyping an upcoming exploding ring barbed wire deathmatch on pay-per-view. The increased prominence of deathmatch wrestling can ultimately be linked to this match, and these two men, in particular. Onita was retired from wrestling until he reinvented himself as the ace of ultra-violent wrestling in Japan's lower class world of puroresu. However, for him to reach the peak of the wild brawlers, he had to face the man he had idolised in his early years as a trainee in the All Japan dojo - the now-middle-aged and crazy Terry Funk.
