Chapter 1479 'Respect' is a good word
Khedira's eyes widened: "Two women coaching me? Boss, are you kidding me?"
Xiao Peng shook his head: "I'm not kidding you. Vincent brought two Japanese female wrestlers to train you. How about it? Do you think he values you enough?"
Khedira's expression brightened when he heard the words 'Japanese female wrestler'. "Yeah, it seems like they really value me."
There's a saying about the "three major wrestling styles" in the world: American wrestling (represented by WWE), Mexican wrestling, and Japanese wrestling. Each has its own distinct characteristics: WWE emphasizes storytelling, Mexican wrestling is all about high-flying, bloody action, and Japanese wrestling is characterized by... seriousness!
That’s right, be serious!
The stubborn nature of Japanese wrestlers also applies to wrestling. For example, even with the same high-flying style, the infamous "619" in WWE is definitely no match for the skills of the Japanese wrestler "Ultimate Dragon." Because of this, coaches for new wrestlers in WWE are often Japanese.
The reason Japanese people love wrestling is simple: even though it's fake, with moves and wins and losses all pre-arranged, it's still a showdown in front of a public audience. There's no on-stage command, no NGs, and the fights must persist even if they make mistakes. It demands the ability to adapt to unexpected situations in the ring, and the ability to persevere even if they make mistakes and get injured. Wrestlers also need camera sense and acting skills. This perfectly aligns with the Japanese aesthetic of "the process is more important than the result."
Finding two Japanese female wrestlers to coach Khedira? This is really not an insult to him.
but……
Bruch said, "Hey Khedira, you just got married and you let your wife watch you hugging and wrestling with another girl, is it okay? The boss is right, if you divorce before the other ship returns, it will be a sin!"
Khedira snorted coldly: "My wife is not that kind of person!"
Xiao Peng and Bruch grinned at each other, the meaning being self-evident.
Bruch asked, "Boss, does wrestling require special training? Isn't it all fake?"
"Of course!" Xiao Peng said, "If I use a technique like the 'bomb throw' on you, it might look like I'm throwing you, but in reality, I'm using my back to bear the brunt of the impact. Using a move requires two people to coordinate. For example, the 'choke throw' involves grabbing someone's neck with one hand, lifting them up, and throwing them to the ground. That requires cooperation from your opponent. I have to jump up while you're lifting me, and I have to do it subtly. I have to consider protecting both myself and my opponent. Why are most WWE coaches Japanese? Because their wrestling is all about 'realism.'"
Bruch was shocked and said, "Is Japanese wrestling so awesome?"
"Bullshit!" Xiao Peng cursed. "I can only say that the Japanese have a problem with their brain circuits. You all know that wrestling is fake and a performance, right? But in Japan, both the competitors and the audience regard wrestling as a serious fighting skill! The official title for outstanding wrestlers in their country is 'Budoka'! It's exactly the same as the title of fighting master!"
"Uh..." Bruch was dumbfounded. "Boss, are you kidding me?"
Xiao Peng pointed at Khedira and said, "He's a wrestling fan, ask him!"
Khedira said, "The boss is right. American wrestling emphasizes storytelling, Mexican wrestling focuses on technique, and Japanese wrestling strives to make every match feel like a real fight. To convey the thrill of a life-or-death struggle, Japanese wrestling is filled with dangerous moves and various blows to vital parts. It's all about making it look real."
Xiao Peng laughed and said, "One of your coaches seems to be called Anchuan Edou, you know him, right? When Vincent mentioned that name, I almost laughed out loud."
Khedira was stunned after hearing this: "Yasukawa is a fierce fighter? She is a coach in WWE now?"
Bruch asked curiously, "Is she famous?"
Khedira explained, "Didn't I just tell you that Japanese wrestling is about realism? Sometimes it's too real! In 2015, Yasukawa Eto fought the then-world champions, the Four Tigers. It was a fist-to-flesh fight. Yasukawa was beaten to a bloody pulp, but she refused to quit. Her teammates had to throw in the towel on her behalf. Unwilling to give up, Yasukawa struggled to crawl back into the ring to continue, but her teammates, crying, stopped her. Neither the audience nor the referees could tell if it was just for show."
Bruch's eyes widened: "You can't tell even with blood all over your face?"
Khedira said: "Wrestlers sometimes carry small blades when they go into the ring. They probably cut themselves and make it look like they are bleeding to make the match more exciting."
"Is this possible?" Bruch was dumbfounded.
"Why not?" Khedira said. "It wasn't until after the match, when Yasukawa Eto retired due to a serious injury and the four tigers of the world were permanently banned, that people realized it was a real fight, a fake show made out of both sides' emotions. Yasukawa Eto nearly went blind in that match, and suffered severe facial fractures... Now you understand the style of Japanese wrestling, right? It's all about authenticity! And because women's wrestling in Japan developed later and was originally treated as an 'erotic show', their performances are taken more seriously! Oh my god, why am I even a little nervous just thinking about them training me?"
Bruch smirked and said, "Can you control yourself? I just saw that Yasukawa fighting fiercely. She's such a beautiful lady."
Khedira said: "Of course I know! No, I have to go talk to my wife about this."
Xiao Peng was originally listening to the two people chatting, but when he heard this, he could fit an egg in his mouth.
What the hell? Is Yasukawa Edou a super beauty?
I swear to God, even though Xiao Peng didn't know what she looked like in the ring, she looked like a very ordinary woman now! She definitely had nothing to do with the title of "super beauty." And Khedira and Bruch's expressions were actually serious!
No wonder Vincent specially brought Anchuan Edou to see him. Could it be that in his eyes, she was also a "super beauty" and he wanted to use Anchuan Edou to lure him closer to him?
Buddy, you really think too much!
Xiao Peng felt like he needed to apologize. Actually, the aesthetic differences between the East and the West still existed...
Khedira was a little nervous: "Boss, let me go to my wife first to accompany her and talk to her about training!"
Bruch laughed at this and said, "Hey, marriage is different. You are the epitome of a henpecked man."
"No man is afraid of his wife, that's all respect!" Khedira protested
"Any henpecked man has to give himself a way out. 'Respect' is a good word!" Bruch retorted.
"I won't argue with you, boss. I'm going out first!"
Xiao Peng waved his hand: "Wait!"
