i am curious to know what you all think about this video. i am not sure if i think its selling out or if its just good publicity and business to do this. i know ken shamrock did something similar and caught flack for it and lost a lot of respect but money is money and fans are fans. hmmm, of course it could be a result of cro cop's declining career or it could just be a publicity stunt since his japanese fan base is so huge.

It's pretty normal over there, and not considered selling out at all. Off the top of my head I know Don Frye, Dave Beneteau, and Brian Johnston did it too. I think Oleg Taktarov, Bob Sapp, and Mark Coleman have too. Ken Shamrock also worked at least one match over there vs Bart Vale.

When fans determine your money you go where you are sent. He performs and at least entertains. Respect a person for working perhaps, some-such, one might say.

Japan is quite unique when it comes to "performance art".

He should,ve kicked the guy in the pink polka-dot outfit directly in the face.That's no guy! :eek: I'm pretty sure that's the female wrestler who used to go by the name of Asia Kong. Glad she's managed to develop such a stage persona she can now fight under her name as opposed to some ****ty racial stereotype if that's the case.
