Fluorescent Tube Fighting

By John Farrier in Pictures, Sports on Dec 1, 2009 at 9:06 am


These men are beating each other senseless using fluorescent tube light bulbs as weapons. This is apparently a sport in Japan. I can’t find much information about it online, so I take it that it is not a widely popular sport. One blogger said “It’s like WWF meets WTF.” — which seems like a good summation. There are more pictures at the link. Content warning: graphic violence.

    Good old Japanese Deathmatch wrestling, where Light Tubes and Barbed Wire are put to good use ; )

    I guess they aren't too worried about Mercury poisoning.

    This is upsetting, I wish Neatorama hadn't posted it, especially with the bloody pictures.

    ND, the exit to the internet is the second door to the left.

    ND, no one told you to click on the link and the image on this site is not bloody at all.

    Indeedy do. Perhaps their brains are already sub-par so the extra damage is minimal.

    Unbelievably stupid. These people are contaminating the area with mercury.

    This is serious stuff.

    Those things are filled with mercury. Hmm... good idea, let's get all scratched up and have mercury vapors seep right into the open wounds. Actually... It probably seems like an increasingly good idea, the more you do it! >:P

    Bloody picture IS bloody. Neatorama posts such great stuff, it's unfortunate the odd post isn't suitable for kids or those of us easily squicked.

    Pro wrestling.. gotta love it.. and yes it is NOT good to get the murcery vapors in your wounds, one of the concerns of doing this. But hardcore wrestling is insane.. found a video of a guy taking a weedwacker to the stomach...
