Judging by some of his recent headbutt spots Shibata is clearly giving no fukks at this point in time. Hopefully he can heal up:francis:

I wonder if the internet will be all up in arms about him wrestling. Will they start criticizing fans for supporting Shibata's style and wanting to see him wrestle? :patrice:

Personally, I'm tapping out on Shibata matches until he drops the headbutts. That shyt is disgusting. The sound from the one to Bobby Fish literally made me nauseous. I'll accept that dudes are going to get fukked up by the nature of slamming your body around on metal and wood for 15-20 years. I don't need to see dudes just full on headbutt each other to make themselves seem tough when everyone knows it's fake.

Yeah, that's the one spot I've never really gotten about modern puro. Even when the guy I stan more than any other (Sekimoto) does it I don't like it. But, then again, it doesn't affect me to the point of not watching so I can't completely relate with you.

I'm at the point where I'm watching Ishii or Shibata and wondering why they don't just do shytty MMA (again) if they're so obsessed with hitting people full force. There's a difference in working snug and just hitting each other full blast for pops. If you can't work a strike, don't throw it.
