カール・ゴッチ
Early mixed-match martial arts professional wrestling bouts in Japan (known as "Ishu Kakutōgi Sen" (異種格闘技戦), literally "heterogeneous combat sports bouts") became popular with Antonio Inoki only in the 1970s. Inoki was a disciple of Rikidōzan, but also of Karl Gotch, who trained numerous Japanese wrestlers in catch wrestling.
