ArticlesKatsuyori Shibata
Many people tend to underestimate Pro Wrestling, thinking it is just a circus where some strong athletes pretend to hit as the audience screams their names.
The wrestler’s prejudice is that they are gorilla full of steroids and the fans are a mass of ignorant rednecks full of beer, but that is not the case. Wrestling fans are ordinary people, and wrestlers are often best-selling (Mick Foley, Chris Jericho), rock musicians (Chris Jericho) and financial analysts (JBL).
The discipline story of today is Katsuyori Shibata’s story.
Shibata in 2005 was one of the leading prospects of New Japan Pro Wrestling in Japan. Unfortunately, the period was not good for business. The office was interesting to propose a mix of wrestling and MMA and to show off fighters against the fighters.
The wrestlers were all defeated, and they had a severe loss of credibility while the fighters were terrible wrestlers. The audience was rejecting the product, and the hopes of the office were on three young prospects, Shibata, Hiroshi Tanahashi and Shinsuke Nakamura.
In that period, Shibata decided to abandon the NJPW to spend full time at the MMA, leaving Tanahashi and Nakamura alone in the challenging role of the only attractions.
Shibata’s career in MMA was not exciting, few wins and so many defeats and in 2012 he returned to NJPW. Shibata was in an awkward position, all the backstage and executives did not trust him, and they had a grudge for his departure in 2005.
“He ran away, and I had to put the federation on my shoulders,” said Tanahashi in his book.
Shibata had to regain the confidence of everyone. Shibata did this with discipline and dedication. Katsuyori put the 100% of his commitment to each match. His style is very physical, with slaps, kicks, and headbutts. His body often had injuries, but Shibata always continued to fight and regained the favor of the fans.
After years of dedication, Tanahashi declared publicly to respect Shibata and finally “The Wrestler” got a match for the IWGP World Championship against Kazuchika Okada at the event “Sakura Genesis 2017.”
The match is the best in Shibata’s career, with the wrestler fighting with courage and discipline. Unfortunately, it was his last match, because during the match Shibata hits Okada with a strong headbutt. Shibata’s head started to bleed, and he lost the fight minutes later.
In the backstage Shibata had health problems and a partial paralysis of the right side of his body. Shibata was brought to the hospital, and the diagnosis was “subdural hematoma,” caused by dehydration and the headbutt.
Shibata needed several operations to his head and began a painful rehabilitation. His body had to be run by electric shocks and very painful therapies.
Shibata wrote that every morning he was ready to give up, but his desire to defeat the problem became his primary motivation, and his doctor was amazed by his discipline and determination.
Shibata returned to NJPW during the 2017 Climax G1 tournament finale to greet fans declaring “I’m alive, that’s all!”.
Shibata is determined to return to fight, and with his determination, he will come back really soon.

Articles5 Drama/Movies Inspired by the Hwaseong Serial Murders
The Hwaseong Serial Murders are a series of murders that took place from the mid-80s to early-90s. This case is the
Unsolved Mystery of Korea, like Jack The Ripper or the Zodiac Killer.
It is a chilling case in which several women aged from as old as 71 to as young as 14 were strangled to death in
Hwaseong and the surrounding areas. The murders were committed using the victims’ clothing, as they were bound
with their bodies being left in rural areas such as canals, rice paddies, and the hills.
Korean Police conducted an exhaustive search, with forensic analysis concluding that the assailant was blood type B and
the statement of just one survivor seeming to suggest him being a young, slim man with a height of around 170cm.
The suspect list grew to as large as 20,000+, and despite immense efforts, the killer evaded capture.
These deaths were tragic and remain some of the most notorious unsolved murders in history, with such public interest
that the statute of limitations was lifted in July 2015 with the cold case still being investigated to this day.
The story inspired so many Drama and Movies, here are the top 5.
Memories Of A Murder
One of the most famous Korean Movies of all times, winner of so many awards and considered one of the best Korean

One of the most rewarded K-Drama of the last years.
In this story, Prefect Hae-Young (Lee Je-Hoon) communicates through a radio with detective Jae-Han (Cho Jin-Woong)
in the past! In this way, the two detectives will solve some unsolved cases, changing the past and the future. A stunning
story for an unmissable drama.
Confession of murder
A detective fails to stop the serial killer and runs 30 years with this remorse. When the case enters the prescription,
somebody is accused of all crimes, with precise details and specific proofs.
Only the detective is skeptical. He doesn’t want to admit to having lost the challenge with the killer, or he understands
he is talking to an impostor?
Gap Dong

1987, Detective Park Kwang-Ho is fighting with the serial killer inside a tunnel, but he is defeated, and the killer escapes.
When he wakes up, he discovers that he is in 2017! He can come back to his time only arresting the killer.
A beautiful drama, with a lot of plot twists and great characters.
They tell fictional accounts to not glorify or dramatize the severe and chilling crimes that inspired them and also
manage to bring an array of exciting, well-written and brilliantly acted tales with satisfying story arcs and conclusions.
