#4 Japanese Deathmatch

Insanity at its finest

Ahh, the Japanese. The pioneers of most things insane in wrestling, they are responsible for some of the most gruesome and terrifying gimmick matches in the history of sports entertainment all on their lonesome.

Coming in fourth on our list is the dreaded Japanese Death Match. The gist of this is that real-life weapons and stipulations are introduced to a no disqualifications match and then you sit back and watch two blokes trying to murder each other with these weapons.

The most famous example of this is the Cactus Jack vs. Terry Funk match, where the two psychopathic men decided to replace the ring ropes with barbed wire instead. So yeah, let's see what MMA fighter has the cojones to join the illustrious group of men and women who have put their lives on the line in the absurd Japanese Deathmatch.
