Back in 1992, one of Japan’s biggest professional wrestling organizations was facing a serious dilemma regarding whether or not to use explosives and rigged “land mines” in their matches. Oh, not because of safety concerns – they had actually been using explosives in their matches for years. The problem was that they were having financial issues and could no longer afford them. But fans had grown accustomed to seeing shit catch on fire while nearly naked men grappled with each other and would settle for nothing less.

Clearly, a solution was needed. This is what they came up with:

Step One: Replace the ring ropes with barbed wire. Wrap the barbed wire in rags soaked in flammable paraffin.

Step Two: Insert wrestlers.

Step Three: Light shit on fire.
