[Re-upload] A deep analysis into why I think Okada's 2016-2018 Title Run is the best in the modern era. Pro-wrestling is a fascinating art form. I found it. And you need to find it too. What does it mean to be a world champion? What story does a title run tell? Through "The Bizarre Appeal of Pro-Wrestling" I deep dive into a variety of facets that make the art of pro-wrestling so fascinating. In this video, I talk about the mammoth 2-year long title run of the legendary Kazuchika Okada and reel from a beautiful story told inside the ring.
