Sounds like this opened something in Johnny 😂
Jesus Christ boys, this one needed to be hosted on Pornhub.
The ref looks like he's from MxC.
Can't believe its been 20 years! I remember watching this whole event when it aired live 🤯
Still here! Akebono wasn't my uncle he's actually a buddy of mine's dad. Fuckin massive ass dude, met him when I was about 12 during a wrestling practice. Awesome content as usual boys!
Love that they had to call Akebono a "Grand Champion" instead of properly "a Yokozuna" because they would confuse american fans with the actual wrestler.... Yokozuna. Similarly that they are sumo wrestlers and not..... Rikishi
I’m almost positive WWE wanted to bring Akebono in and that’s the only reason this ever happened, but it just didn’t work out bc he didn’t pass their physical so he went into wrestling back in Japan. He needed money after his restaurant went out of business, and he had already lost a few KICKBOXING matches by this point too for a quick buck.
Macho T being photoshopped in the space ghost coast to coast room is based
Akebono's All Japan run was sick. He had a tag with Mutoh against the Dudleys
Both Minoru Suzuki and Go Shiozaki managed to piledrive him at different times
Worked sumo looks fucking nuts
No green mist to the face? No salt to the eyes? Damn Big show, do you even WWE bro?
Now THIS is the shit I’m paying to see, nobody doing it like the boys
Dang. That means there won't be a SGH for WrestleMania 21. I sat floor for this show, but I was towards the back. Cost me $500.
I mean, they at least followed proper sumo tradition...............before having the worst fucking sumo match of all time...............at Wrestlemania. Can I nominate a legit sumo match for Watch this, maybe some Hakuho matches
He had a match Atsushi Onita in a barbed wire explosion death match if you're interested
$houts out Space Ghost Macho w/ Mr. FuckYou & Skeletor guest appearance
Big Show FUPA? Ohhhhh myyyy...
Lately, I've been having some pretty intense mental health problems, but Deadlock has been one of the only things keeping me feeling okay. It really means a lot. This match on the other hand... can't say its helping anything lol
Akebono actually ends up having a very extensive puro run, he wins the triple crown and the tag titles in All Japan
This match was my 911
WrestleMania 21 SGH when?
Akebono based gawd?!
More like Akeboner
nuts
Did they watch the full show before here? I’d swear they did but can’t find it
I think they've watched 23, but not 21.
Pls do the whole mania for sgh sometime
Akebono, just for further notice one of your nuts is hanging out of your shorts
2010 Smackdown Pod ep coming and a 2 minute Watch This, April Fools is hot on Deadlock
Big Show coming to the ring in flip flops is CRAZY
Tony looks different. Did he get a haircut?
I think he's wearing a mask.
Time to grab some food and Watch This cause I’m hungry…
Big Show doing the finishing taunt when he can’t do that technically in the middle of the match is hilarious. Saw way too much ass that was needed to be seen boys.
Now that I’ve actually watched sumo a bit seeing Shows shitty ass pushes is so fucking funny
You guys should watch the Bam Bam/Lawrence Taylor match. Lawrence just straight-up worked a decent match.
HUSTLE legend MONSTER BONO
AAAAAAAASSSSSSSSS!!!!
Michael Cole saying Basho fucks with my head to this day
You boys gotta ask Andrew Everett for the sumo hookup because he knows his shit
this match was on before Cena/JBL this show is nuts
If Big Show had done one of those kneeling chokeslams Taue style right after the taunt this match would be an all timer
Big Show screaming THIS IS FOR YOU BABA as he herniates every disc
I saw the Bigs Show
Akeboner was out here crazy style
Akebono faced Brock in New Japan for the IWGP title
i dont know what i was looking at in the midsection of those trousers but i could not look away. even now, i still see it. what was it
I don't know why I thought you guys had watched this before on here, I think I must've got it mixed up in my mind with Big Show vs Mayweather for some reason
Big Show No Pubes is crazy
Akibono vs Kassius OhNo
Yall just watched the highest point of this mania so you guys may as well watch the lowest, Kurt Angle vs Shawn Michaels
THANK YOU TONY CLAPCLAP CLAPCLAPCLAP
wellllllllllllllllllllllllllllll its time to watch the big show
I haven't even watched this yet but I already know this is gonna be a Top 5 Top 10 Watch This of all time
Ahhh the second installment of the Big Show vs Celebs at Mania series
IM HUNGRY
I'll never get that image out of my mind of big show on all 4s outside of the ring like that

Akebono, the illegitimate son of The Great Muta when he spat mist between Yinling's legs.
