10 Painful Wrestling Receipts Caught On Camera

1. The Great Antonio F*cks Around And Finds Out

Less a case of "receiving receipt for potato" and more "getting the living sh*t kicked out of him after f*cking around and finding out," the Great Antonio didn't realise who he was dealing with - or he did, and fancied a crack at infamy.

An eccentric (or thoroughly obnoxious) fat f*ck, Antonio drew the ire of his namesake Antonio Inoki by behaving, essentially, like a small albeit obese child who was acting out. Snarling, twisted facial expressions; a refusal to cooperate; wilfully ignoring warning signs: your classic "little bastard" behaviour. Inoki however wasn't your average sunken-eyed, lumpy nihilist wondering quite how he became one of the haunteds roaming the aisles IKEA.

He was nails-tough pro wrestling royalty. He held a sacred reverence towards the ideals of legitimacy. Imagine your average "modern wrestling is too soft!" podcaster, expect he was actually tough, and not some absolutely pathetic pin-dick grifter.

Inoki steadily lost his sh*t and exploded when Antonio brayed him in the back of the head. Inoki fired back with a slap barrage, taking Antonio down to his knees, and smashing his nose apart with a lethal barrage of kicks.

Antonio was left a bloody pulp.
